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