Fun in Chi Town!

Got to Chicago (without my carry-on bag that I had to check at the gate in BWI since all the overhead storage was apparently full, but not really), and walked at a nice pace from the farrrr right on the photo of Concourse C (all the way at the end) to the farrrrr left of the photo of O'Hare in Concourse L. Doesn't look like far on the photo, but trust me, I was kinda glad I wasn't lugging a carry-on. At one point, it seemed like we were in Vegas with all the lights and the sounds!

Get to the gate and guess what? Flight delayed. So my travel buddy DC and I wandered around. He was feeling Lucy so we played the lottery (scratchers) and WON $10!! We spent $5 on the tickets (Chicago Cubs? Loser. Cure scratcher? Winner!) so we profited $5, which is a win in my book!

DC was feeling scholarly so he did a little light reading in the bookstore as well.

Then we relaxed a bit in this lounge called ICE. It was right outside our gate, and it seemed perfect for our trip to Anchorage.

On the plane and ready to head out! Got another window seat, too. Next to heavy smokers, boo. Ya win some, ya lose some :)

Till next time ...
