Hi Proud Mom!

I know the Ramada does a Meet N Greet on the 24th.  I think it's from 6-8pm in the bar area.  They will have appetizers all provided by the hotel.  As far as the parking, I've heard that taking the shuttle is really good because it gets you past all the long lines of cars somehow without doing the driving.  And it drops you off at the front gate.  We are getting a rental car, but don't know if we will use it that day.

That's so great you got such a good letter!  I don't know how my Sr is really doing yet.  She got set back a week to this pir and had to change div's.  But hopefully it will help her to catch up.  She was out sick for a bit from dehydration and then later they thought she was developing asthma and had her tested.  Thankfully she didnt have it and is more determined than ever.  I also can't wait for the 2 weeks to pass.  I gotta start packing!  I want to bring some clothes for her to change into while inside the hotel room if she wants and also I have to find our binoculars!!  Can't forget those!  Cyndi

No, sorry.  We are actually flying in on the 23rd to O'Hare.  Couldn't find much selection of flights on the 24th!  Cyndi
i leave the 23 but dont arrive tell the 24th. at 520 in the morning was look for someone that will arrive around the same time maybe we could share a taxi??
I'm flying into O'hare on the 24th arriving at 11 from NY.
I'm from NY too! Which part? I'm flying in around 8:30pm to O'Hare from JFK.
I will be arriving at o'hare at 12:54 pm if that helps
We will be flying in to Chicago (ORD) at 8:20 pm.  We will be renting a car and staying at the Red Carpet Inn.
