This morning my traveling comrade, Daniel Bissonnette, and I awoke and caught the 7 a.m Mega bus to Chicago. The 8 hour trip from mpls to Chicago was rather comfortable. A double decker bus with a double feature, The Assassination of Richard Nixon and The Prestige.
At three p.m. we arrived at union station where we began our mile trek to my friends house, dropped our bags then hit the 95th floor of the Hancock tower where we had a beer and took in the majestic scenery of a frozen metropolitan and an icy great lake.
Next we sampled some sushi in linkin park at Sai Cafe followed by a margarita at the twisted lizard.
Now we are back at Bissy's sisters apt. on the DePaul campus about to catch some zzz's and then awake grab a few last min supplies. 7:40ish we depart from Midway to Denver and then to San Jose, Costa Rica, where we arrive at 6:45 am. Hopefully our hostel's shuttle service ill be awaiting as the say they will be. Then who knows....

I think the air fare price sounds like you ended up with a good deal. Do you arrive in Mpls or Chicago on April 8? A beer on the top of the Hancock building must have cost more than the $1.50 per beer that you had budgeted per day.
