My flights are:
March 24 - LGA-ORD AA 313 09:00 - 10:40
March 24 - ORD-LGA AA 362 14:45 - 18:00
I can check in online for the retrun flight before I leave for the airport in the morning). I basically have a shade under 4 hours (asusming an on time departure/arrival).
As I said my plan was to kill time in AC drinking free drinks
but now realise that there is a Shabby Chic store in Chicago and I can surprise mrssimongr with a gift from my travels.
Finally getting to the question - as I have never been to ORD I know nothing about transport etc in that area. The Shabby Chic store is 2146 N. Halsted Street. On google maps that is about 16 miles from the airport on a relatively straight road. So will I a) time to get there and back and b) what would teh rough cost be of such a cab fare?
Thanks in advance for any assistance here - this will be a very painful exercise for me but mrssimongr is worth it
