I managed to get us to the appointments this morning, although mine was cancelled. I then went on to work, and then went by the pharmacy afterwards. The roads are much better this afternoon than they were this morning; even Man O'War, a major thoroughfare, was pretty snow-covered this morning. I felt bad about not making it in to work yesterday, but my boss thought it was the most sensible thing, given the long walk on the road, crossing it a couple of times, the same road I got hit on a couple of years ago in perfectly fine weather. Especially this close to my Chicago trip, I don't want a repeat of that!
The good news is I've seen the weather for those days and Lexington will be in the high 50s and Chicago will be in the 40s, with good weather except maybe some rain on the day I fly home. Yay!!! It looks like my itinerary will go something like this:
- Day One
- Fly out from Lexington mid-morning, arrive in Chicago at almost noon local time
- Buy a three-day transit pass
- Take the Blue Line to the nearest station to my hotel
- Drop my bags off at my hotel
- Take a bus to the Field Museum of Natural History and soak up the sights there
- Return, check in, and get ready to go out with others from our meeting who came in early
- Day Two
- Sightsee in the morning
- Take the Pink Line over to the University of Illinois--Chicago for a seminar
- Attend the seminar
- Meet with others for dinner downtown
- Day Three
- Check out of hotel; take Pink Line back to UIC
- Have a light breakfast
- Meet with our committee
- Have lunch
- Take the Blue Line back to the airport
- Fly out late afternoon, arrive back in Lexington that evening
