I shot up to Chicago for a quick and fun weekend. My girl was having a book signing
for a book I edited, and I also just wanted to catch up with family and friends.
I stopped by Rainbow before packing to get some new looks.
I grabbed an Airbnb for the first time ever. I definitely think I’ll do it again, and I cannot wait to get back!
What I learned from my latest trip to Chicago:
-
Plan for traffic and walking. Everything will take anywhere from 15 mins to hours longer than planned. This time, I drove from STL, which was good because I was all over the ‘burbs and city visiting folks. Next time, though, I am taking the train and exploring downtown. I want to catch a few shows and eat more great food!

Airbnb is an amazing option for Chicago. You can stay in some of the hippest neighborhoods for unbeatable prices.
-
Wearing outfits that transition from day to night will save you time. This way, you won’t be running to your place to change clothes, allowing more time to party.

It’s a great inexpensive getaway: great food, the lake… I think they have a camping ground on the lakefront that’s only like $12 a night, too!
