We have arrived in Chicago at Midway airport. What a scary place to land a plane! The guy sitting behind me was giving Donna a play by play, so at least we knew what to expect. He warned us that it would look like we were landing on the tops of houses and that once we touched down they only had a mile of runway and would be slamming on the brakes right away. Boy he wasn’t kidding! After collecting our luggage we loaded up the bus (which is a glorious color of blue AND an Obama campaign bus)

 

and took to the highway, headed to Springfield. Checked into the Hilton and was able to relax.
