Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 5:15, couldn’t fall back asleep so I got up at 5:45.

I met Glenn with Bianca for breakfast in Olivenza. I told him about my using Airbnb to find a place for us to stay and he recommended I look for a “superhost”. His health is the same but he’s going to make an appointment with the gastroenterologist that Teresa recommended. He told me about NYC now charging $9 for a car to enter the city.

I started looking at Car Rentals at O’Hare Airport. I can rent a Kia Rio (or similar car) for $1218.04 from ACE Rent A Car.

I mentioned to Teresa that our flight to Chicago will take about 9 hours and now she wants a Miami stopover to rest a few days. I’m trying to convince her that just complicates things.

Does this airline have non-stop flights between Chicago (ORD) and Medellin, Colombia (MDE)?

United Airlines – No.

American Airlines – No.

COPA – No.

Delta – I’ll have to check this one tomorrow.

Teresa saw an Amtrak ad and now she wants to take a 48-hour train from Miami to Chicago. Lol. I checked and its $113-$260 per person one-way for coach. I asked her why she doesn’t want to sit for 7 hours in a plane but she’ll sit for 48 hours on a train and she said on a train she can walk some. She also mentioned getting off at a station and taking a later train. Lol. I tried to explain that it’s not like taking the metro in Medellin. 😊

On Airbnb I also found a private loft studio in Des Plaines for $54 a night.

I guess the first priority is to choose an airline and book our flights.

I watched the Chicago Bears upset the playoff bound Green Bay Packers 24-22. 😊 That was fun and I ate half a bag of peanuts.

 

JUST FUNNY
