No problem. Just follow the signs in the airport and they will take you there.
 
We took a "limo" really just a van round trip from the airport to the hotel and back for about $15 last year. Sounds way easier that trains and then switching to buses. You can fit up to 8 in the van and I'm sure there will be other consultants at the airport at the same time as you. We left from Baltimore/Washington Airport last year and there were about 45 of us on that flight. I made somwe great friends while waiting at the airport for our delayed flight. We had fun....

hmm, that does sound alot easier, a strait shot there, but I will be coming a little late on monday (coming in at 12ish I think) so I doubt there will be huge groups coming in at the same time as me!:confused:
 
I would check it out when you get in anyway. You never know who was on the flight with you... Have a bag that says Pampered Chef or a shirt. You will spot others or they will spot you...

I take the blue line from O'hare and get off at Jackson/Dearborn like this suggests, but hten I catch a cab to the hotel rather than taking the bus.

Just my $.02,
Penny

Chicago is a major city and there are dozens of downtown hotels.

There are PLENTY of shuttles, people! Plenty of transportation options! I would suggest you go to the website for the airport and check which shuttle services go to and from each one to your hotel. Most shuttles service multiple hotels, so there may very well be multiple stops. Also, check online for coupons and other discounts.
 
Good suggestion. I haven't been in 2 years, but it seems like it was $15 for round trip...not positive on that. The shuttles stop at more than one hotel, but the ride is usually enjoyable. Some hotels offer shuttle service to the airport for free, but conference hotels usually do not.

And, it seems like we did have coupons last time for a discount on the shuttle.
