Chicago? Pittsburgh? Hmmmm. ::whimper::

[foxmonkey]

Oy. Chicago's the mecca of the tour for us midwest LJ-ers, it seems. But here's the thing. I need a new roof. Pittsburgh is closer and cheaper. WAAAAAH! For once, though, time off work won't be a problem. Told the boss lady on Monday that I want time off sometime in early May. So yay! That's cool. We even chatted about how nice it is to meet up with friends. ;-) So.

What I need to do is put the costs down side by side and then make a decision. Yes. Here goes.

Chicago:

show date: May 07, 2004
bus, round trip, cost: $78.00
bus, round trip, time: 19h, 50 min. (To Chicago - 11h, 25min. Back home - 8h, 25min)

HOB hotel Gov't Rate: $155.00 United States Dollars (Daily per room), Total Rate: 310.00 United States Dollars (what the hell "government rate"?)
Chicago-Mart hotel: $128.00 (Rate Type: 21 DAY ADV PURCHASE)


Pittsburgh:

show date: May 09, 2004
bus, round trip, cost: $48.00

I was all ready to actually spend some tourist time in Chicago this trip. And then he announced the Pontiac date. Oh well! The tourist stuff can wait!

Have you been there before? I've got friends in town, though sadly, we've fallen out of touch. I love it with the burning passion of a thousand fiery JC's. I'd love to live there. The hubs would sooner chew off his arm. ;-)

Oh, I can't imagine living there. The weather would kill me. Besides, I'm a Left Coast girl right down to my bones. But I've visited Chicago a couple of times, always briefly, and I'd like to see more of it sometime. Just not this time. ;-)

Can't say I blame you! More Chasez, please. ;-)

I did that last year, instead of pursuing Nick to Pontiac. It was fun, but the company of LJers en masse is better. :)

Squee! I'm so ready for this. Is it May yet?
