when I filled out my vacation bid last November for this year, I didn't want a January vacation. Yet it seems I'm stuck with one. So I'm going to have a friend from Chicago meet me in San Francisco. We'll spend a couple of days there, then head back to his place. I'll hang out in Chicago for a couple of more days then head back home.

Notes
The last time I was in San Francisco I decided to eat here one night. My usual place to eat a meal is Bubba Gump at the end of Pier 39, but thought this would be a nice change.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got home and found out that they were a member of the Aadvantage Dining Rewards program. It's always nice to have some airline miles appear in my account that I'm not expecting. Just checked and they are still a a member. So how can I go wrong with seafood, good view of the bay, and airline miles for using my debit card?

Sure this sounds a little morbid, but I like interesting architecture. Also I like stained glass, and you can't beat the cost to visit.

Day one of getting ideas. Still not sure what hotel I'm going to stay in in San Francisco, or what I want to do that I haven't done before...

At least when I get to Chicago I have a friend that I can stay with. That always makes planning easier.

Since it is winter in Chicago, anyone have any advice on things to do?

I've only visited Chicago in the summer, so I'm at a lost on what to do that won't involve freezing my rear off.
