Now here is your itinerary for Oak Park, Illinois.

• Since we are already in Oak Park and there's really nothing to do, i will drive you to Chicago to get some expierience in. And, so that you don't have to pay anything to get there and its only a short ride.
• While in Chicago you are going to be doing many activities, but remember there are going to be some Hemingway related activities along this trip.
• You are going to be in Chicago for three days and two nights.
• You will stay in the Carelton of Oak Park Hotel for the two nights. It is 15 minutes from Chicago and is only eight blocks away from The Hemingway Museum if you get interested.
• In the span of the three days here are some of the activities that I have planned for you:

1. Go visit the Sears Tower and look at all of the great Chicago area and remember Hemingway once roamed the streets of which you will over look.
2. The Chicago Blues Festival is going on so you should check it out.
3. Most important of all, to you at least, go see a Cubs' game at Wrigley Field. I know you'll enjoy that.

• Because we are in Illinois, I will be with you the first three days to drive you to and from your hotel but after that I'm outta here.
• You can do more than just these three activities while you're in Chicago, but be sure not to miss your flight on the third day. It is at 3:25pm at the Chicago O'Hare Airport.
