- My first day in Chicago was spent unwinding in Oak Park, a suburb about 9 miles from Chicago and home of Frank Lloyd Wright, the birthplace of Ernest Hemingway, and home to some of the most beautiful Victorian and Prairie style architecture on earth.

- Oak Park was my base for the get-together. Its tree-lined boulevards, historic sights, parks, and relaxed feel made for a wonderful stay in the 'burbs.

- Three days of skyscrapers and crowds in Chicago tired and bored me, so I decided to stay near my hotel in Oak Park on my last day in town and visit Ernest Hemingway's birthplace down the road. It was my favorite part of the trip.
