Thurs 2nd Dec : Windy City

Anyway. Chicago. I stayed at a hotel near the airport yeaterday called the Westin. One of the better ones but no wheresville. I sat in a couple of meetings yestreday and today and then I remembered that I had accidentally booked myself in at the W Hotel downtown for a couple of nights. Nice. 50 minutes from the meetings but my colleague's around to start them if I am late.

The W was a crazy night club as Ws are. You're standing there at reception and you feel a bit of a wally with your luggage whilst the party's going on around you. Then you think: hang on - why do I feel this? I'm checking in and this is a hotel.

I somehow got upgraded. Don't know why. So I took the opportunity to moan about the lack of cell phone reception in the room and got unpgraded to an even 'Mega' Room.

Anyway - out on the tiles I will go. On my own. Hopefully the colleague will be up for a couple of beers tomorrow - would be good to hit Chicago with full sails, blow through the city, whirlsind tour of the the bars: it will be a breeze.
