I've arrived

Hey howdy hey! Got into Chicago lastnight around 6 o clock or so. We left Ireland around 11 in the morning so it took us around 12 to 13 hours. We flew through Atlanta even though there is a direct flight from Dublin. Someone (Dad) wanted to use Delta so it took us a while longer.

Haven't done a whole lot yet. Mostly planning the next few days. I've made a list of things I want to see and do and have started buying the tickets etc. Theres a exhibition of Egyption stuff on in one of the museums that includes King Tuts coffin thing and loads of other cool old things. I've been told to go see the Science and Industry Museum which has just opened a Da Vinci Code interactive thing. That should be interesting. The Museum of Modern Art is on the list as well. Our hotel is on Michigan Avenue so itskinda hard to avoid doing some shopping. It'll be tough but i'll do my best!!

We seemed to have come at a good time because beside from all those things, theres a big air and water show on today. We spent a huour or two sitting on the beach watching loads of military jets fly by and do twirlly things. Great fun, especially the old planes that do all the acrobatics like diving and looping and flying straight up and falling back down until he nearly hits the water!! Crazzzy!

Anyway gotta go so i'll post again soon!
