Me and a consultant in my downline will be flying into Midway on Monday at 12:45. We are looking into renting a towncar or something to take us to the Hilton on South Michigan Ave. If anybody else is arriving at Midway and going to the Hilton around that time and would like to share a ride and split the costs, just let me know.

In the past we've had enough to rent a limo and it was less than $10 per person. We had a comfortable ride and went from point A to point B without other stops in between, which was nice. (We are actually doing this when we depart on Thursday with the rest of our cluster.)

Looking forward to seeing everyone one in The Windy City!
 
Darn! I was all excited because this sounds like a great idea, and we're at the same hotel . . . but, we arrive at 7:50am, and I don't think my group will want to wait around for 4.5 hours!:D Oh well, hope it works out for you, and look forward to meeting you in person.

I just saw this post. Are you still looking for people to share a ride? I fly in to Midway on Monday at 1:30pm and am also staying at the Chicago Hilton! I will be alone so would love to share a ride, if possible.

Hi Debbie,

We are still looking to share rides. I will contact the company tomorrow and see what rates I can get. I saw another post of a couple other consultants taking the train to the Hilton. I will check and see if they want to join us. It's not as cheap as the train, but much more comfortable without lugging our baggage through the city. I'll be back to you tomorrow for sure!
