I haven't really written about travel before, I don't know why, I just haven't. I guess it's partly because when I travel it's mostly for work and I am in and out in less than 24 hours. But I decided that most people don't get to travel for work, only about 12% of all air travel is business travelers and only about 1% of the workforce travel every week by plane for work. I feel blessed!
So here I sit in downtown Chicago on a chilly morning having my left over Chicken Piccata from last night. I am thinking... Boy I am lucky and I want to share it! I think an even bigger reason to write and share is for my own personal journey. What better way to remember where you have been and all the experiences than to record it? Right?
So... Traffic was heavy coming in from the airport. I was surprised by that. I flew in on Sunday for that reason. To avoid heavy traffic. Overall, it was about 40 minutes from Chicago Midway airport to downtown. I chose a Residence Inn in the heart of downtown because it was close to where my friends suggested. I always stay at Marriott properties. I love Marriott and Delta but you already know that!
I had dinner with friends at The Italian Village and it sure was all that they promised. It was only several blocks from my hotel which was fabulous and 50 degrees outside perfect strolling weather!
This place was so darn cute inside. I was in heaven with the lights and the chatter and the expert service! It was reasonably priced and just great all around! How cute is this??
Oh and I saw some great Christmas lights but I will be back here in 4 weeks and I will be sharing pics of some really fun things that I will have time to do! Have an awesome day!

I enjoyed a few bites of leftovers before my day begins!
