#1039, "Chicago caravan? (need help)"


          

I am going to be meeting up with Luke (Hult250R) and Jordan (BlueMan) Thursday afternoon in Iowa and we're going to split a hotel room that night in Chicago so we're ready to roll first thing Friday AM. I've got a couple questions for the locals.

1. I will be picking up John at O'Hare Thursday night. Can anyone jump on Hotels.com or something and find us a decent place to stay that's close to O'Hare where our cars will be safe sitting outside at night? Looking for something under $80/night if possible. I'm not familiar with the area at all and the lowest price isn't always a good place to leave your car after dark, if you know what I mean.

2. Will there be a caravan departing Chris's place like last year? I know a couple people are crashing there, so I'm thinking there will be a few cars leaving there. Basically, I'm trying to figure out where we will need to be and about what time so we're all ready to roll with the caravan.

That's pretty much it. I leave in ten days and I still need to book a hotel for us and make sure we have a plan of action for Friday AM so we don't get left behind.

Anyone? TIA.

I've been wondering the same thing. I think we need to nail it down so the guys in Indy and Michigan can figure out when they need to leave to meet up with us.

Isn't Norwalk a 4-5 hour drive? If we left Chicago by 0900, we could be in Norwalk checking in around 1500 at the latest (depending on how long we have to wait for the Michigan guys again this year). emoji

I think we should leave Chicago by 0900 Friday AM.

norwalk is a 4 hour drive from indy, bout 2 and a half hours from where we met up last year with michigan and indy/chicago converge. i will probly just have someone call me that is leaving in chicago, when they are leaving, that way i know the exact time they are hitting the road. i am heading up to aaron's house and spending the night there again this year. much more convenient than trying to coordinate a 3 hour trip to meet right on time.

checking in at 1500, due to michigan holdups, should be excellent. emoji

Just booked this one for us. The number above goes to Hotels.com. They wanted $80/night. When I booked it directly through Super8.com, the rate was only $59. Wo.0t!

EDIT:
Is maps.google.com/maps?q=17845+Halsted+St,+Homewood,+IL+60430&spn=0.041478,0.080398&hl=en the Home Depot we met at last year? If not, where are we all meeting in Chicago for the Friday AM roll-out?

Post it up!

EDIT2:
From the maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.565660,-87.635171&spn=0.002729,0.005289&t=k&hl=en, it looks like it is.

Let me know. I need to know this so I can get my maps all printed out before I hit the road this weekend.

Thanks!

But anyway, you guys need to figure a time out, then like last year, have someone give me a call when you leave chicago..not like it will matter anyway haha emoji

That almost sounds like a challenge, sir! emoji

I'm just waiting for some of the Chicago people to chime in. I mean, I know I'm probably tre most active member in this forum right now, but I don't think it's my place to schedule a meeeting point in someone else's hood. I think this is the HD we met at last time in Chicago, so it's a start.

Watch this turn out to be a flat out drag race... emoji

Guys add 45mins at least to your drive time. construction by the 294 bottleneck going into indiana is really bad with traffic. Any time of day is bad.

Now, on the good side of things, a girl I haven't seen in something like 15 years (childhood friend) has just moved to Chicago and emails me tonight telling me that, if we're going to meet up when I'm in Chicago, she needs to know, as she's leaving to go home to Cleveland on the 13th.

There might be a black Cavalier rolling with us for some of the way. LOL!
