I am headed to the Midwest on Thursday.  Going to stop in Chicago and see the kids, make a detour up to Wisconsin, then head to St. Louis to see my mom and sister and one of my good friends from back in my college days.

I call this the great Midwest loop.  I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to go with all carry-on luggage or if I'm going to check a bag.  I hate checking bags, so it's a conundrum - this is a much longer trip than my usual 4 day weekend jaunts. 

In the meantime, I have work to get done.  I have to make lists... lots and lots of lists so I don't forget anything vital. 

I leave in 2 days. 

My head just may explode.

Stay tuned.

3 In laws used to live in Joliet - love the lake front of Chicago - have lots of Irish music friends there. One of my oldest and dearest friends lives in Milwaukee - Most of my husband's aunts/uncles and cousins live in St Louis - Haven't done that loop in years now, but used to do it every year. Safe travels - lovely visiting for you

4 A friend in St. Louis once confided his secret for airline travel: two Excedrins and a Bud Lite.  Said he doesn't remember flying, just take-offs and landings.

Safe travels, Teresa.
