Hello Chicago. It’s been too long

We have arrived in Chicago to spend the weekend visiting old friends and old memories. It has been way too long since I was last here, just over a year in fact. I have already made a promise not to be away from my surrogate home for so long next time.

We plan on having drinks tonight in one of my favourite places, the discreet but vibrant bar in the Peninsula Hotel called simply The Bar.

Over the weekend we hope to catch up with as many people as possible, I’ll shoot into the office tomorrow as well as pop round to my apartment to meet a new rental agent as it needs to go back on the market in November.

From the airport the sky is clear, so it won’t be long before the cities skyscrapers are welcoming us.
