Travelling Stories

Do you have a travelling story about Chicago?
Has any of your family travelled to Chicago from somewhere, or vice versa?

Please share!

MORAL SUPPORT

Tremendous stuff.

TA Tumblr

The TA has a blog too!

Though, to avoid confusion of the gmail accounts etc on blogger, I've decided to use tumblr.
