For Chicago Style Pizza, there is Connies Pizza and one is located not to far from the motel. For Chicago style Hot Dogs, there is Portillos that is also close to the motel. Those two are well known in the Chicago area. Also, the Cheesecake Factory that is located in the Hancock Building. I think their observatory is cheaper than the Sears Tower, been awhile since I went tere to. Then again, your not going up as far, but you can go in an area that lets you be outside that high.

I checked on airline tickets for that weekend.  The cheapest I could find was thru www.cheapticket.com for $212 round trip.  If anyone knows of a cheaper price from RDU, let me know.

By the way, I'm really skeptical about traveling, especially by plane.  I'm afraid to check my bags with all my PD solutions/supplies.  Airlines have been known to loose your bags or damage them.  For those that traveled by plane while on PD, what did you do? I'm doing CAPD 2x/day.  I know the airport have been really strict about what you can and cannot take with you on board.  I wonder if there are restriction to how much fluid you can take with you.  I was told by one co-worker that you are limited.  Is this true?

Anyway, my husband and I will love to go.  This would be a great weekend getaway for us.  I wish we could drive but that would take 10-12hrs.

Rookie girl have some supplie delivered to the Hotel prior to your arrival or while you are there.

Mysty, Ohare would be your best bet.

Okarol thanks for the links. The outdoor music festival is free so maybe we could pool together on the cost of a bus or something.

Hi Sluff,

This might be the best option to just have Baxter deliver my solutions.  I hope they pull through.  If not, I will really be SOL if they don't.

Just incase, Midway is the other Chicago Airport. It's smaller and diferent airlines fly in there. No idea of cost difference. I know there is a shuttle service from O'Hare that can take you to the hotel instead of renting a car. I have only taken Midway once, but believe they offer the same type of shuttle service. Not sure what current prices are either, when I used them from O'Hare to Naperville where my vehicle was parked at a hotel, it was $40 5 years ago. Given inflation, gas prices, I figure around 60 give or take.

Orland Park is the closest, sort of a hop skip and a jump. Those mileage listings though are a bit off, especially when it comes to Chicago.

Shuttle Services from either Midway Airpot or O'Hare

http://www.airportexpress.com/      (requires reservation to Tinely Park)

http://www.airport-chicago.com/continental-airport-express-shuttle-service.htm     (But is affiliated with the above company)

I have contacted a Holiday Inn  hotel I have used to get picked up or dropped off to go to O'Hare for shuttle service information to see what companies come out. After web search, I am really only finding one company and limo services and I know there is more. Just thought, I should contact the hotel Sluff listed to see if they know what companies take and drop off passengers from the airport.

Contacted Sleep Inn and the person I talked to doe not have a regular shuttle service that comes by the hotel. However, she gave me a number of a new company that the hotel is going to try to start using. It's called Aries 1-(888) 305-8700. But looked them up on the web ( http://www.ariescharter.com/ ) and they are buses and mini buses. So that is a big cost disadvantage. I'll post more when I find out more.

Hmmm and I'm further south than you!..

Ok.. just checked.. from Mia to O'Hare for me is $218.00.. It is O'Hare right?
Never thought to ask till now..
If I stop in PA along the way.. thats another 218.00... :o

Hmmm.. what to do....? :banghead;

Oh wait.. that may all be sorted by then!!!!   ::)

We're flying Tampa to Chicago Midway for $230 each. It is closer to Tinley Park than O'hare and the fight is significantly cheaper.
Oh, I guess that might be taken to mean -  WE'RE GOING TO CHICAGO!!!

There will be some cars there if someone needs help getting somewhere,  but a small mini bus may come in handy for those who want to venture into the City then we can do a group thing.

If I can get to either event this year I'm not sure which one to go to.
A lot of it depends on if my leg is healed and I have my leg by then.
I still might have to use a wheelchair some if there is much walking.
I checked prices here and it is cheaper to do a pkg. deal that includes flight and room.
I need to go back and see if that's into O'Hare or Midway.
I looked at the Tinley Park Sleep Inn info and it said it is 15 mins. from Midway.
I absolutely love LV. Oct. is a beautiful time to be there.
Aug. is a hot humid month.  So lI will check out prices for LV also.
Wish I could go to both.  Would be so great to meet everyone.
I hope I get to go to at least one meet.
