O'Hare's Cold Floor

Well right now as I write this ... I'm sitting on the (cold) floor at Chicago O'Hare airport there are seats but its crowded right now. I traipsed around terminal 2 trying to find an outlet where I could give my laptop some juice and well the only place I could find one was in the corridor between the E and F gates ... where I sit right now so there's no Internet, wait, no FREE Internet. I could have some but I ain't paying'. So I'm writing this into a word document and I'll paste it into my blog when I get some connection.

I'm on route to Phoenix I had a 2 hour connecting flight from PHL airport to ORD Chicago Airport then I have a 2 hour lay over here in Chicago before a 3 hour flight to PHX Phoenix.

I had so much fun in Philly as always. I want to thank Tim for the entire week It was great and I really enjoyed my time there although I was only there for a week it felt like a month and Tim's company is always superb. It went by way to fast. I got 2 weeks before I begin my journey home. First like I said, Phoenix. Chelsea's birthday. 21. Her birthday's tomorrow. Get ready for the Power Hour of the century tonight. She's gonna get 'shwasted' her word not mine. I'll have my camera and maybe some blackmail photos will be on the cards? Watch this space.

Come on babe, why don't we paint the town...

Well I went to New York City yesterday in the hope of catching a Broadway show. There's a booth in Times Square called 'Tkts Booth' which gives discount tickets to the shows. Only catch is you have to wait until the day of the performance. We didn't care. So Tim drove to Trenton, New Jersey and we caught the train from there to NYC. We arrived in NYC around 12/1PM and made our way to the booth. We're walking through Times Square (which is choc-a-block with people), and there was lots of people advertising for all the performances on Broadway, handing out flyer's and what not. I originally wanted to see Avenue Q however it woulda cost a hundred bucks with the Tkts Booth, second choice was Chicago. In terms of cost of tickets, Chicago had a the better deal. However with Tkts Booth it would have cost 100 bucks too. One of the flyer's i had was for Chicago where you could get orchestra seats for 70. So we got those seats. And where set for Chicago at 8pm.

I had been to New York before and have done all the sight seeing before so, after lunch, Tim and I just went to a few bars had a few beers. It was fun. Before we new it, it was 6:30pm so we made our way back to Times Square for the show. It was amazing. A great performance. The show finished at around 10:30, and we wandered around times square for about thirty minutes, got an Ice Cream before heading back for the train. The train was wayyyyyyyy slow, we ended up getting to Philly at around 2:30AM... passed out. Anyway it was an excellent day and the photo's are below :)
