Day 5 kylie and myself were a bit worse for wear after deciding to head on down to chicagos version of height ashbry and have a few bevvies it was close by a jazz bar id gone to on a hostel tour the night before i just failed to mention it as, well the club was boring aparently al capone was there :/ diddnt make an excuse for the horrendus music tho. Me and kylie had decided we were make the uber track on the train then the bus to go to the home alone house, cos were cool like that :p so we hot up and tries to find out way to the train station, we were running out of time and were still walking about but we finally found it yey!!! Only not yey :( we missed the train by like 5 mins and the next train wasnt for another 2 hours but kylie had to go to the airport at about 4pm so we couldnt even wait for tht train :( absoloutly gutted!!!! When i do route 66 we'll have to do a quick de tour first and go see the house it would have easily beat the euphoria of the mrs doubtfire house. Kylie had got a ticket for the sears tower so when she went there i wandered to wal mart to buy the cheapest food i could get due to me having pittence left but i only had the rest of today and half tomorrow so i was sure i could do it, i went back to the hostel after meeting kylie outside the sears building and helped her get her stuff together and waved her off on her way to the airport i would have been sad but she was getting on a flight to alaska somewhere i really really wanted to go :( and she was carrying on while i was going home the next day gutted!!! Decided to go for a little self tour when kylie left went to see the original playboy mansion, totally nowt special as its now just flats lol went for the most spectacular piss at the top of the hancock building best view from a bathroom ever! And i diddnt hav to pay to go to the stupid viewing level i got it for free and just had a pint, i went to see the wrigley building that has loads of bits from other buildings from all over the world pretty kewl, went to see the big metal coffee bean thing and had a wander to see the fountain all lit up at night where the wierdest thing happened. 2 young girls who told me they were at college and asked if they could take a photo of me i asked why and they told me they were doing a fashion degree and had deemed me fashionable :s absoloutly flattering but i was wearin scruffy ripped jeans a black vest top with a food stain i later discovered some orange high tops and a red leather jacket, totally not fashionable i really never am but hey ho made my day :) stayed around there for a bit just chilling and went to bed ready for my check out and flight home tomorrow :(.
Last day in paradise i had $1 and half a pack of fags this was harsh i tried my beat to get up in time for breakfast and managed to get there at the end getting two slices of toast and an apple to take with me, my $1 got me 2 hard boiled eggs from the shop and tht was me till goin to the airport at 6pm for my 10pm flight out of here i was starving!!! Diddnt do a whole lot today packed up my s*** walked about aimlessly, you know the usual then said goodbye as i headed to the airport.
At the airport sometime later i was in a bit of a panick id bought my flights off a site id never heard off so i was a bit nervous anyway but what made it worse was that the on-line check in would not work for me at all i went tothe airport anyway nervous as hell tht i was gonne be stuck in america with 0 money :(. A fee hours of nervously waiting about in the airport waiting for check in and time time came i was ooo scared, especially when it took ages to check me in because there was a problem 'OMG im gonna be stuck, im gonna die OMG' holding back the tears check in finally worked hazzahh now i just had to wait for my plane.
About to get on the plane and my name gets called oh s*** what now! So theres a problem with my bag cos someone has a similar name the minute they start boarding people luckily it was fine i saw my bag being brought up and made a guy radio saying it was my bag phew!
On the plane there was sooo many soare seats :) so i stretched out over 4 seats with an extra meal i got given to eat cos i was soo starving and home bound i went :( nothing interesting to say obviously i was tired, i slept and i was back home in pissy redcar back to work and save and save and save and go travelling again woop woop goodbye U.S.A i have found a second home in you and to all the amazing people i met, thank you!!!
