<br>
Excellent, I’m glad to know you are planning on coming. I was getting
worried as I haven’t heard from as many people as I had hoped, but you
know how we are. There is no good way to get to Chicago from outside.
The key is to avoid rush hour traffic. Where are you coming
from? Let me know and I’ll put together a route for you.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
<br>
John<br>

I am planning to come, no reservations yet, no abstract yet (hey, I still
have a couple of days, right?). <br>
It should be fun. <br>
<br>
By the way, do you have an insider's guide to get there with the minimal
amount of rural driver's fears of Chicago traffic? Pretty Please?...<br>
