You are less than an hour from the greatest City in the World. Do I really need to explain to you all there is to see and do there? If you are a sports fan, there is the Bulls, Bears, Cubs, Sox's and Blackhawks depending on your interest. Check out their website for last minute tickets. Theater: Broadway has nothing on the Theaters in Chicago. Second City has student shows nightly and is a blast. Tickets are usually less than $ 10, so give it a try. Shopping starts at Michigan Avenue and goes from there. People who are not afraid of heights go to the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) to walk out to look down over 100 floors down. I dare you to do that!

Navy Pier has shopping, restaurants, dinner cruises and an I-Max theater. During the Summer, there are fireworks on Saturday nights. If you want a special view of the Chicago Skyline, book one of the Dinner Cruise. There are several to choose from by my favorite is the Oddessy. The food is very good and the ship is well done.
