Aer John has been the dutiful son once more and as a joint birthday/Christmas pressie is offering me a flight on the EI network. Having had an absolutely superlative trip with him in September to New York, I want to keep that memory special so New York is out of the equation. I had considered other destinations but my heart keeps tugging me back to SFO and from there several options to meet up with friends or try new adventures on the west coast.
However part of me is wondering about Chicago. My only experience of it was transiting there in January 2002 en route from JAX to LAX before flying home to Ireland (we took the scenic route home!!) What is there to do in Chicago? How many days need I stay there (given that 4 days in NYC is plenty before one goes into overload) Will I like it? What is there to do? I'm aware that some V-flyers have gone there and said that Chicago is now their favourite city so suggestions please.
I'm thinking in terms of early April when EI has 2 flights some days and SFO has daily flights.
SFO has my heart but my brain says try something new. Over to you!
