My director emailed me on Tuesday, so we booked them and lucked out! We knew that you can't get any cheaper!! I am on Southwest airlines.

from O-Hare to the conference hotels? Where does the train drop off by the hotels? I am SO intimidated by traveling!!!

 

[DebbieJ]

The blue line train from O'Hare comes right downtown. You might have to walk a block or two depending on which hotel you are at. I can help you!

Deb, can you help me I am flying into O'hare. There is a group so we were talking about taking a shuttle because it would be a flat rate. I am curious about the train!!

We took the "L" last year from the airport to the hotel....it was sooo fun A cluster-mate's cousin lives there & gave us tips on which one to take. (it really was pretty easy) It got us within a block of the hotel & only cost a few dollars I'd be too chicken to do it at night, but during the day it was a cool way to see the city

Carolyn,

I got my ticket from www.sidestep.com and it shops from all the sites. I got my ticket for $143 roundtrip but I'm flying into O'Hare for the first time!

 

[PampMomof3]

Hey Carolyn, Fly into O'Hare the same time as me so I'm not so lonely!

 

[DebbieJ]

Just let me know which hotel you are staying in and I can give you directions.

I will definitely be asking for directions when It gets closer!!!

I got my ticket too!!!!!!! This will be my first Conference and I am so freakin' excited!!!!! My director got the tickets so we can sit together!

I also talked to her about hotel choices and she is NOT planning to stay in a Conference Hotel because it's too $$$.... so we're probably staying in a Best Western or something. I'm all for saving some money, especially since we really won't spend much time IN the hotel, ya know???

And we're flying in on Saturday, so we'll have extra time for exploring I have not been on a plane for about 12 or 13 years..... WOW! What an experience this is gonna be!!!

I am not sure when to got in and leave - My hubby is talking about me flying in on Sunday and coming home Thursday - I didn't go last year because I was so new in the biz and my mom had been sick and just passed.
I had talked to a cluster mate about being a roomie (many months ago) but I am not sure right now if she is going.

I honestly know nothing about hotels or anything
