Let's go!

I believe this is the first time I've been back to Chicago since graduation. We're sitting in the Admiral's Lounge, and Daniel's taking a nap in one of the nice restaurant-type booths here while I steal his computer. And try not to pee.

Our flight to Rome leaves in about two hours (we had thought we had one hour less than we had, because we forgot to take the time change into account --- as a matter of fact, I'm still not sure what the time difference is between here and Rome). In the meantime, I've been trying to finish up a few books so we wouldn't have to lug them around - especially since Daniel bought two new books at the airport when we got in from Columbus this morning.

For lunch, we found a Macaroni Grill, and brought it back to the Admiral's Lounge to eat (so Daniel could work), and I got a yogurt parfait with fruit and granola. I usually don't eat things like this - it was a weird craving.

We had to get a copy of Let's Go: Europe because we left Lonely Planet: Italy at home. Mildly absurd, we know. And the very expensive TOEFL book Daniel bought that we were supposed to return last night, we left in the hotel.

And Ray and Tanya, I'm sorry to say, they found the gift the two of you gave us, and wouldn't let us bring it aboard the plane. Alas.

Last night was spent at this bar called Surly Girl Saloon (Daniel: "Surly Girl Saloon?!") with REALLY good food. We met up with Rebecca, Lily, and Lily's boyfriend Konrad. Then Lily lent us Buffy Season 2 because we forgot that at home as well, and Rebecca drove me around town running various errands (including getting a bag of trail mix for munchies on our long flight --- I hope there's dinner involved).

Ok, time to wake Daniel up.
