My flight plans have changed I now arrive Terminal 2 - 4:01PM - CO146 from IAH.
If anyone would like to meet and ride into town together let me know.

Just in case you aren't familiar with Chicago. A native can correct me if I am wrong here, but if I remember correctly this is the easiest (cheaspest) way to get to the hotel.
1.Take the blue line from the airport all the way into town. Follow the signs.
2. Get off at Clark and Lake. Stop is called CLARK.
2. Walk up Clark (North) towards the river.
3. Turn right on Whacker and walk till you get to Michigan Ave. (Approximately 5 Blocks)
If you aren't into walking the 5 blocks, you can always catch a cab from the train stop. If it is rush hour, you are definitly better off walking. If you look at a map State street is the closest stop, but the Blue line doesn't go there and you would have to change trains to get to the State street stop, and it really not worth doing since you would only get 2 blocks closer. Another good thing about the Clark street stop is it is handicap accessible, which means there are elevators, which is important if you have a heavy suitcase.

You will not be able to walk down Wacker Dr. since it is closed and all torn up due to a major construction project. Your best best will be to walk down Lake St. (under the El tracks) to Michigan Ave. instead. It's the same distance but a much less picturesque walk. Then turn left onto Michigan Ave. towards Wacker Dr. I *think* sidewalk there to the hotel is open but I am not sure. I imagine there would be signs.
Any questions or need for directions, please email me. See everyone this weekend!
