November 11 - NYC

Smart Car to the airport. They are GREAT, always 15 minutes early and best of all they DON'T TALK on the ride to the airport!! Always a 10

Scheduled on American 360, but caught stand-by AA 366 (first class seat still open - 4E);
actually arrived 25 minutes early (surprising since it was light rain in Chicago).

Taxi to Hyatt Grand Central (midtown)- 35 minutes, $36 with tip.

Grand Hyatt at Grand Central Nice room on the Regency level. Great rate due to 21% off offer from Hyatt (had to prepay in full).
