Chicago

Aug 19, 2019

Well here we are in the good old USA for another adventure!

We flew with Air New Zealand Via Auckland direct into Chicago which was great being able to totally miss LAX where I don’t think we have ever had a plane leave or arrive on time not to mention very long hikes to everywhere.

We still had some long walks at O’Hare Airport, but it was the end of the trip, so Immigration and Border Control was also at the end of the trip not to mention some of the quickest we have been through.

The Chicago - Carol Stream area is a predominantly industrial / commercial area but is only a short hotel shuttle ride away from the bike shop.

We sank into our mattress last night and woke at 10am this morning. Aaaahhhh. Then off to collect the bikes. It was great to catch up with Mike and the team at Du Page Honda who we dealt with on our previous trips. They were ‘can do’ people then and continued to be now. Thanks guys. I’ll add a link to their website.

From there it was a quick bite of lunch and back to the hotel to get the toll transponders registered, bike panniers packed and sort the luggage for travelling.

Bikes collected and there we are about to head off. Yippee!

Staying next two nights at Holiday Inn Hotel Chicago-Carol Stream.
