Once we got home I washed clothes and repacked for a quick trip to NYC for my friend, from high school, Laurie's wedding. My neighbor, Annette, was able to go with me. It turned out to be more of an adventure than we counted on. Our flight left Thursday at 5:40 AM... yes, that was AM... We arrived in Chicago at 7:15 and had a layover until 9:00. We grabbed a bite for breakfast and went to sit by our gate. As we sat down everyone got up and left. We went to see what was going on figuring there was a gate change and learned that our flight had been canceled. After some searching we learned that the next flight we could get on was 6:00 PM!! So, we made the best of it. We got a cab and went to the "Miracle Mile". We walked all over downtown Chicago. We visited Macy's, Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy, GAP, and had some Chicago style Pizza. (Oprah recommended) We saw some beautiful architecture and some REALLY tall buildings. We were even brave enough to find the right train and take it back to the airport.
