We made it!

Other than a small discussion about which hotel of the two Hyatt's was ours, we made it with no fuss and no bother! Our room has a balcony and a great view...lol. But, as the realtors like to say, "location, location, location"...we are right across the street from the CHA convention center.

Our deal pal Jill is having too many knee problems and won't be able to join us. We'll be thinking of you Jill....if that knee gets better, please come!

We had a good lunch at the hotel restaurant...good but a bit costly. Kip got a cobb salad and you can see my selections from the buffet. We celebrated Kip's first CHA with a glass of vino. Kip is napping right now (see pic of room...on the bed closest in the photo. Barb, G-a and Sonia (aka my bff Sophia) are due to land soon and then, when they get here, we'll see what g-a has planned for us for the the rest of our day.

Our friend from the Early Birds on the old ckmb, Maria, is due here at 6 and I am still trying to get ahold of Anne. Talked to my dd, Kristen, who is also up here in Chicago. She got on the right bus at the airport but it was heading in the wrong direction. She did make it to her hotel and was hunting for her pals for the Pampered Chef convention.

So, more updates to follow. I have 3 classes tomorrow 2 hours each and a staff dinner followed by the SEI party. Thinking Kip has the right idea catching a nap while she can...
