This week I am attending an industry conference in Chicago, and every time I land here I get excited about the City, the Food, the Architecture, the River, the Food, the Sports....
What a great city! For me, it's one of those cities that I always love to spend time in, but one of those that is immediately "off the radar" as soon as I leave. I'm not sure why, but as I thought about it, a lot of cities are that way for me - great to visit - but never really somewhere that I say I can't wait to re-visit or move too.
Luckily, I get to the "Windy City" once a year for one conference or another. I did learn today that the nickname - Windy City - is NOT due to the wind or weather coming of the lake - but a backhanded remark by a New York Sun editor, referring to all the boasting the city did about their hosting of the World's Fair in 1893!
Last night we had an opportunity to attend a reception and dinner at the new Trump International Hotel & Tower - and WOW! - is all I can say! The hotel is part of our Signature Hotels and Resorts program, and a few of our clients have actually stayed in the hotel already - even though the tower is still under construction above the hotel!
The reception was held on the 16th floor and the views were AMAZING! I've attached a couple pictures I took with the trusty iPhone. There were 200 of us - and the Trump Organization pulled out all the stops - a great time was had by all!
OK back to Work! :)
