I went to Chicago this last weekend.  When I am more awake I shall be enlarging upon these notes I jotted on my ipod in evernote.

***

-- Tons of ppl traveling today
-- Dogs out in force sniffing
-- Ppl with huge strollers.
-- Rain. Lots of rain
-- Strange worker dude walking the airport flirting
-- Love TripIt pro - even noted gate change
-- Bumpy takeoff
-- Lots of kindles the big ones are huge!
-- I realize it's a badge of honor to some to lose yourself in reading - but it's more than a little annoying when I have to keep tapping your arm to get your attention for the flt attendant
-- It's hard to make plans with 3 ppl using txt only. Especially when one of you is not familiar with the city
-- Sbux close to hotel - win
-- long fur coat + 70 yrs old +  Uggs = fail
-- Sunday morning in the city is when all dog owners walk their dogs to sbux when they get coffee. Have counted at least 6 dogs outside the door.
-- When train doors open they always say doors closing.
-- Two German guys riding train taking video out window. Cute.
-- What is it with ppl who drive caddy's.
-- Not one really great Oscar gown? Really?
-- Midway is packed
-- What's with ppl blocking the moving walk ways
-- My daughter never slouched. It seems she was unique among children.
-- Want to smack the mother of the boys sitting behind me on the plane. She should not be allowed to travel alone with children.

Make of it what you will. More later.

1 I think the list speaks for itself; no translation needed. 

Hope you had a good trip regardless of your fellow travelers.

2 Thanks for the TripIt Pro mention - we have a lot of travels planned this year, and that will come in awfully handy. And I'll second Pam's comment

4 It is my experience that most parents traveling (flying) with kids under the age of 19 should be smacked and not allowed to travel with said kids. Erg. welcome back

5 Oddly enough there were a number of kids on the plane - all of them seemed to be well behaved.  These boys weren't "bad" they were boys being boys. 

The mother however was a real piece of work.  You know - if your only threat is "I'm going to tell your father when we get home"  you might as well hang it up - you've lost the battle and the kids run the show.

She was even idiotic enough to call the flight attendant over to yell at them.  Nothing shrieks "I have no control over them" louder than having a total stranger come over to yell at your kids. 

They were hyper, they were wiggly, they were rather boisterously playing their video games and they were kicking the back of the seat.  Everything else was not a problem, it was the seat kicking that was making me nuts.  But I couldn't even move to tell them because the guy sitting next to me was so large I had no room to maneuver.  Good grief.
