They do NOT take MC or Visa. Will accept American Express and Bergdorf-Goodman credit cards along with the Neiman Marcus card....and of course cash.

The view from the restaurant at the top of the the John Hancock tower is awesome! And you can stay in the Ritz across the street (so you don't freeze your nostrils during the short run to dinner) and be in the heart of the shopping district.
How's that, Dennis?

Much better. Mayor Daley and I thank you.
The bar at the Peninsula is a nice place to stay warm as well...

That would be the lobsters caught that day and right out of the trap I assume- you kill me.

Getting ready to do just that on a family trip....but as much as I love Chicago, I think I'd opt for Miami in the winter...great shopping there, just different from Chicago altogether.

The point with the shopping is, of course, quite simple. We'll be on the road from 17th December until 21th January. Instead of shopping on the first week or two (and carry the stuff around), or at St. Barth at the high season (not that we could avoid it completely), we have this single day for shopping on the way back home. That should keep the expenses reasonable.
I don't really care if we don't find anything to shop as such ;-) Not that shopping in the US wouldn't be good, the prices are generally lower than in the US, or about the same but the sales are very aggressive compared to Europe, and I can find my sizes quite easily in the US and they're not even the largest size available.. End of June we spent a week in NYC, we had to buy two new bags and they pretty much knew us by name at Saks.
Over a month on the road and and this year over two weeks in St. Barth, I don't think we'll really care how Miami looks like ;-) (we've been there as a tourists already) In fact, if it rains most of the time and we don't see the sun at all, like happened 1.5 years ago, it's even better. It's a pain to leave St. Barth but after rain and grey sky, home with clear blue sky and bright white snow actually feels pretty good.

yup..I keep my 6 traps in the water all winter and a friend of mine in P town tends them and the deal is he keeps all the lobsters all winter long...with the exception of Christmas when he pulls the traps and FedExs them up to me in NH....he pays the shipping..its a great deal for both of us...but I must admit...due to those circumstances the lobsters may be 2 days out of the water....shame on me....LOL
you obviously underestimate how true I stay to my beliefs paison
