Well, it’s not the first time I’ve been to Chicago and the city certainly lived up to my memory of it.

The hotel was elegant (although the room was a tad pokey compared to the others I’ve stayed in over the past few days) and the deep pan pizza I had at Gino’s was fantastic (although I couldn’t eat a whole medium one – I only managed two slices!), just watch out for the buffalo wings – they are hot!

I have also discovered that business travel can be good for you! In the weeks preceding this long batch of travel and meetings I was suffering from high blood pressure (I even had spots before my eyes – not a good sign). Now, with the exception of being extremely tired and looking forward to the long flight home, my blood pressure s done and my vision clear. I suppose focusing on one thing at a time is a factor, but I’m not a doctor …

Anyway, really looking forward to actually getting home. Just one more day now – hooray!
