July 13 – 16, 2011
Chicago, Illinois
“Chicago, Chicago
You’ll have the time, the time of your life . . .
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in
Chicago, Chicago . . .”
Can’t you just hear Frank Sinatra singing? Chicago is
truly a magical city. Its magic lies in its mix: sophisticated
yet midwestern friendly, bustling city streets adjacent to
long stretches of green parks and the sparkling blue water
of Lake Michigan along with a stunning array of things to
see and do. Navy Pier, Millennium Park, the Art Institute
of Chicago, theatre, music, dance, shopping, nightlife
and an endless assortment of restaurants to match every
taste, budget and mood are all nearby our host hotel.
The beautifully renovated Chicago Marriott Downtown
Magnificent Mile Hotel is in the heart of everything.
Chicago is one of the most accessible cities in the
world. O’Hare International and Midway International
Airports offer thousands of flights a day. Over 50 different
airlines service Chicago, helping make flights less
expensive than most major U.S. cities.
It is a big city, but it’s remarkably easy to get around.
Taxis, limousines and public transportation are readily available. In fact, Chicago has the second largest fleet of
taxis in the nation with approximately 6,900 cabs.
Plan now to join in the fun in Chicago. Spend a few days and you may even be calling Chicago your “hometown!”
