Your Tatge-Jig travel packages will be out by next week; make sure to keep an eye out for them! They will include your backpack, luggage tags, travel documents, and detailed itinerary information. Once you get yours, get excited, look everything over, get more excited, ask questions if anything is confusing, and then get even more excited!
For anyone who would like to attend, we are planning a group meeting with Rick on Friday, September 14th (date tentative) at his home in Union Grove. This is not a must-attend meeting, but a good way to get more information and ask questions. Wine, cheese, Irish coffee and other snacks will be served.
For those of you flying out of Chicago with us:
If you are able to meet up with us in Chicago on the Thursday night before our departure (10/4), we would like to treat everyone to a casual welcome/pre-departure dinner. We will be dining at Giordanos for some Chicago style pizza and pre-flight celebrations. This is also a great way to make sure we all get to our flight on time! This is completely optional and we understand if you can't join us.
Eric and I booked a block of rooms for anyone interested in staying the night in Chicago. Each room is non-smoking with 2 Queen beds and can hold up to 5 people. If you would like your own room, the cost is roughly $100 ($99.88 to be exact- this includes all taxes, charges, and fees). However, if you would like to save some money and share with another couple or split the cost with a group, you are welcome to do that as well! Feel free to book another room/hotel or just join us for dinner.
The hotel has excellent reviews and is roughly 8 miles from O'Hare. Breakfast and airport shuttle are both complimentary. When we check out at noon on Friday, the hotel can store our luggage until we head to the airport.
