My Trip to Chicago

I've been on hiatus for the last week. After reading articles on other bloggers who have lost their jobs because of their blog, I figured I'd do some due diligence and not blog from the company computers. Since my new Dell arrived, it's made it that much easier. As I said in an earlier post, I am in Chicago this weekend, and right now I am connecting from my hotel. So far I am going to be under my original budget of $800 for the entire weekend. After my plane ($227) and my hotel ($202), the most amount of money I've spent so far has been on food and beverages. The food in Chicago has been amazing. I've also visited the Lincoln Park Zoo--one of the more beautiful and well-laid out zoos I've visited. The best part about the zoo was it was free. I bought some presents from the gift shop and I'll probably send a small donation when I come back to New York. Throughout my personal finance journey, I've always made it a point to give to organizations that I care about. Anyway, it's my last night in Chicago, and I am not going to spend all of it online. So long for now.
