Thing 33: Travel 2.0

In our household, we had a Web 1.75 experience in planning a recent trip to Chicago. As a birthday treat, Husband treated me to a getaway to the Windy City. Our planning involved a computer, various web sites and of course, several books.

An Ode to our Trip
With husband was at the keyboard and I at the book,
we quickly planned our trip including chatting up a celebrity cook!

Using
Hotwire, we found a room at the Palmer House
And from Frommer's printed guide, we did learn of a grouse
(Spot on!)

For certain we knew at
Topolobampo we'd eat
And meeting
Chef Rick Bayless was no mean feat!
For fun, we tried another spot in The Loop
Blackbird in Chicago, for it would be fun to tease our friends about this fancy pigeon stoop!
Eating is not all we did,

Rented bikes and saw a museum filled with kids.

All is all a fine trip was had,
Planning done with both computer, book and paper pad.
Two things are for certain, we know by far . . .
Computers help with finding good prices and books with maps are best in the car!
