The windy city is calling me.
One of the best cities I’ve visited so far lies in the midwestern United States. I have visited the city twice and I just can’t get enough of it. A friend of mine, John – has moved there and I actually drove his car to Chicago. However, when I got there, I was so exhausted that I really didn’t have much time to tour the place. I was able to see the “bean” but that was it. We went downtown but then again, I was such in a daze that nothing really stuck. All I know is that I would like to visit Chicago again and when I do, I will take one of those Chicago tours. It’s better to take a tour I guess rather than go around by myself. With a tour, I get to see the important places that people usually want to visit but don’t know how to get to it. The funniest thing that happened to me while I was there was a trip to the bakery (famous one as I was told because of the owner). There was a lady behind the counter who looked like a lady but as you get closer, you may wonder if she’s a lady or not. We had to stay at the bakery and had pastries and hot coffee just to figure out if the lady behind the counter is indeed a lady. We had fun. It’s like being at Madame Tussauds wax museum. Haha!
I found that that there are available online travel guides that I can use to maybe map my itinerary before I even go. The fares have come down a bit and it would be best for me to go soon before it really gets cold. I could also sign up for a Trusted Tours & Attractions newsletter and get myself updated automatically on available tours, specials and the like – I can even get the chance to win $150.00 Magellan’s Gift Certificate simply for signing up. Trusted Tours and Attractions offers discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America. I better call for airline fares now. I need at least two weeks out.
