Well it's an early morning start as we are getting collected at 6.10am for our 9.00am flight to New York. The traffic even at this early hour of the day is stop start and it took us about an hour to get to O'Hare Airport. Flight time is about 2 hours.

On arrival in New York we then caught the Shuttle to our Hotel - which took another 2 hours, so finally we reach the Hotel about 3.00pm. It's been a long day!
