The main thing I wanted to do is TEA and sine our plane doesn't even ARRIVE until 2:55, I guess we won't get to do that... :'(

I don't care about the Howl at the Moon - Dave & I aren't big party-ers but thought we would go if everyone did - we want to make the most of our time without 3 little ones in tow..

K

Trying to confirm my arrival into ORD on Thursday afternoon as well. Hotel booking issues that are being fixed and as of now, my plane tix on hold (until the hotel issue is fixed) is for my arrival just before K. (tix on hold for 2:15pm arrival).

K, taxi to hotel? :)

I have nothing booked and will be slow going over my visit.  I hate to commit to anything at this point as I have to "listen" to my body to see how it is going to hold up.  If I arrive too late for the tea, that's ok....... as of now, my only plans are for what the ANA has planned for symposium attendees.  Fly back out on Sunday ... on a 4pm departure out of ORD, if anyone wants to share taxi.

Yep, it would be really tough, even moving the reservation to 3:30.  Depending on traffic, you may not even arrive downtown until 4:30 or 5:00.  Friday is symposium day so that won't work...It is tough.

Others:
Please Personal Message me with what sparks your interest. I am aware that you are all paying for flights to Chicago in addition to the lodging and symposium costs.  For example, I will make reservations at the Drake for High Tea, but don't want to be showing up there if no one has an interest. The same is true with the Architectural Boat tour (which I plug cause it is truly a wonderful way to see Chicago).

The Lake in question would be Michigan.

As Kay correctly said, the museum (the Field Museum in this case) isn't actually a pirate museum - they just happen to have a pirate exhibit.  The Field isn't actually on the lake either - but the Aquarium/Oceanarium is - and the view inside looking out at the lake is beautiful.   Well worth the trip. 

The Art Museum is also well worth the trip - but you can spend all day there and not see everything.

Okay, I've been madly trying to get caught up here.  First of all - Kate, you totally rock for gathering all of this informatoin!  Willie and I are staying a few extra days, so am going to use your informatoin to help us plot out our time.  Thank you!

Willie and I are staying at the Knickerbocker, which I think is on the same block as the Drake (he got us a great rate there which helps the budget).  Our flight arrives at ORD at 2 pm on Friday, so we should be at the hotel by 4:30, I'm guessing.  We'll drop our bags at the Knick and head right over to the Drake.

I have to pass on anything loud - I've still got major noise sensitivity and just can't take anything loud.  Seems like my hearing ear is trying to make up for my deaf ear by processing all noise at full volume.  Can anyone recommend a good ear plug for blocking some of the noise?

I'm up for anytning else, though!

I never said I didn't want to do tea - that's the thing I WANT to do, but I wouldn't be there to participate in it at the time that Kate has it scheduled...
