My bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

Today is my last day in Chicago for nearly four months.  This morning I had a lovely brunch at my favorite restaurant, Tre Kronor.  It was the perfect way to relax after my crazy last few weeks of summer.  I will be spending the night on an airplane over the Atlantic Ocean, and tomorrow I will meet up with my sister Katie in London.  Somehow I managed to pack everything into one suitcase, a carry on bag, and a backpack.  It took a lot less time and stress than it could have, so that makes me happy.  I'm really excited to start adventuring, so I can post more interesting things here!
