Destination:???

And so it begins again...Mitzi on another adventure. Yes for some reason I decided to venture far, far away once again. Winter travel is not my thing, too much stress, this time when I heard 200 flights to Chicago were cancelled the day before I was headed here. But all went well and I arrived safely and almost on time. Everyone here is making a big deal about 13F temps! After what we have been through in Denver, this is almost balmy!

A new lesson learned...always keep a written record of where I have stayed in the past. I stayed at a nice hotel here in Chicago just a couple of months ago and made reservations this time at the same hotel...I thought! I'm in a taxi at 11PM and he drives a bit further than I remembered but I waited patiently. Finally we pull up to a not so nice hotel in a not so nice area. And yes, I verify it is the same hotel on my confirmation sheet. I walk in hauling all my luggage past 2 bellboys who offer no help. The girl at the desk is kind and I ask for a room near the elevator since I'm hauling my own luggage. I'm a little nervous here but head to my room knowing after I get ice I'll not leave my room anyway until I return to the airport tomorrow so I should be fine. I decide I must have thought I was at the Radisson last time but must have been at the Renaissance instead. Yep, at my age it will pay to write things down! I get off the elevator and walk and walk to my room at the end off the hall. Now I don't think that girl was nice at all! Oh well, too late to change hotels and so I am nestled in for the night!

Good night from the Radisson. Hopefully I will have better luck in Frankfurt!
