Earlier this week, I mentioned that my husband requested a different week off of work that I said wouldn't work for me. He went into work the other day and requested the week off that worked for me. Good news! He was approved. As soon as we got home, we got online to book our hotel. After looking and reading customer reviews, we found one.
We are going back to Chicago in August for our vacation this year. We will be staying at the Hotel Palomar. What makes me really excited about this hotel is it's about 1.5 blocks away from Michigan Avenue. We will be walking everywhere because it is close to everything. The other thing I'm thrilled about is the indoor pool and fitness center. They are available to guests 24 hours a day. Last year in Boston, I had to wait until 5 a.m. to run on the treadmills. Not this year. When I wake up at 4 a.m. (I can't turn off my body clock), I can get changed and start my run. If I start at a very early time, I hope to stay on the treadmill for over an hour without anyone waiting to get on. I will continue to run long even on my vacation.
My husband and I have been to Chicago twice. I told him that I want to do things we haven't done before. So that means skipping the Hancock Tower, Willis Tower and other big tourist spots. We are also going to eat at different restaurants. No repeats. It should be a fun time and I am really looking forward to it.
