Last Day in the States (1-9-11)

Im in Evanston, Chicago and for the first time I have started a blog after constant hammering from my family too do so. Greg Blinn is also with us as we are heading to the airport tomorrow morning at 8 to meet up with Clay. The three of us will be flying out of O'Hare at 10:45AM monday morning. Since Greg has not seen much of Chicago we took him to around and showed him some famous hot spots. From the "Bean" to the spot where the Saint Valentines Day Massacre took place. With it being so cold out, we were not able to do much waking around, which only means another visit when we get back from Hong Kong when its warm out. As for food, we ate at the always good Celtic Knot for dinner on saturday. Breakfast today at Bennison's Bakery and Hawaiian food for lunch at Aloha Eats, then got back to my sisters apartment were me and greg walked around Evanston and made our way to Joy Yee's to get some bubble tea and crab rangoon. Now im just sitting here typing next to the whole family and greg who all have their laptops out blogging. Maybe i should have just bought a journal? We havent decided where we are eating for dinner yet but it should be good, as its our last supper in America. Next stop Tokyo and then Hong Kong

  1. Austin, I'm sure you'll have a great trip & terrific time in Hong Kong! I very much enjoyed my visits, however they were quite a long time ago (i.e. before HK became part of China) so I'm sure much has changed.

    The first thrill for me occurred during landing at the old airport.....which was a path ~100' above high-rise residential neighborhood and then immediate drop onto the runway and brake so we didn't end up in the water! I understand the new airport doesn't require such a dramatic entrance. :-)

    Have a wonderful journey!
