Trips for Giordano's

When we arrived in Chicago it was pretty late, we got our car and headed for our Hotel in the Hoffman Estates area, which was supposed to be about a 25 minute drive. 45 minutes later we see a "Welcome to Wisconsin" sign, needless to say I was …

We flew into Midway on Thursday morning and took the free hotel shuttle to our hotel, got an early check in and got cleaned up before we headed downtown for the day. We stayed at the Four Points Sheraton near Chicago Midway right on Cicero …
