My boss just got back from her vacation, so I could ask her about my vacation, and I now have vacation scheduled from Nov 8 to 13. I need to play with the flights still, but if I show up in Chicago on the 9th, what would be good hotel options?
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

The River North area has a lot of options of various flavors. Several boutique-style hotels that I think might be up your alley like the James, the Felix, the Amalfi. (I've been inside the rooms in the James but not the other two.) Hotel Indigo and I think the Monaco are also in that general area and probably a bit less costly.
I like that area a lot for convenient access to shopping, restaurants, transport, nightlife. You don't want to be in the Loop proper on the weekend, because approximately nothing is open.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I stayed at the James the last time I was in Chicago, and it was wonderful.

We love the Monaco. Bob stays there all the time for work and it's really nice and convenient to stuff.

WHEEEEEEE
I suspect the James may be a little out of my price range, especially since they don't allow Friday check-in, but I am still playing with options.

Okay, I am getting to Chicago about 1:30 on Friday and leaving at 8:00 Monday night, staying in the Monaco in between (Nora, I figured that way we wouldn't be in each other's pockets the whole time)
YAY
