I finally arrived in Chicago with just half an hour's delay due to being kept in a holding pattern for some time due to "weather" over Chicago. Not sure what the Captain meant by weather exactly. It looked OK as we landed! However just as I left the terminal with my dear friend Lillie, who had kindly arranged to pick me up, the heavens opened. Seems I'd brought the good old British weather with me!
It was surprisingly humid and Lillie told me that the last few days had been sunny and warm in the Chicago area. Trust me to go and spoil it. We went out to dinner and eventually made it to the hotel with it still raining of course. The room at the hotel is basic but very comfortable. The view looks out onto a garden with a swimming pool, a barbecue and seats and a table and plenty of greenery. All very nice considering the room is on the 9th floor and the garden is one floor down.
After an 8 hour flight and the jetlag, safe to say that it wasn't long before I was out like a light.
