Yes, I went to Chicago for lunch and came right back! Dad and I went to visit our biggest client. He owns 17 stores in the mid-West. They are huge stores that also sell pool tables, exercise equipment and furniture. He also has a seat on the Chicago Stock Exchange and plays golf with Michael Jordan! So we fly Southwest who changed the seating system. It's still AB and C but now there are numbers also. We checked in exactly 24 hours prior and got A30's. Seems they reserve A 1-29 for people who choose to pay extra. They then have these poles for each five people. First they call up A's and tell you to stand by your pole. Once the A's are in, they call up the B's. I don't like it. You are still waiting in line and now no matter how early you get there, you will never be one of the first 30 on board unless you are willing to spend $30 over the highest fare. Here is the gate area with h the poles.
The Blues Brothers at Midway Airport.
Some art at the ariport.
That part of Chicago wasn't very nice. Way in the South. Most of the houses have big garages in the back. Kind of hard to see in the picture.
This is as close as we got to the City. He actually wanted to go to Chilis! Could have gone there much closer to home. His offices were really nice. The flight back was quick, only 1 hour 20 minutes.
A little present waiting for us at the office. I guess I'll be cleaning it up!
