      <title>Chicago Polar Vortex</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We were concerned with the Polar Vortex fast approaching, and leaving us grounded at home.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We got a good deal at the airport hotel at Chicago. So we decided to go the night before. Everything went perfectly. Our terminal was just across the street from the hoteL, and left the Polar Vortex on time. Now just waiting for our flight to JHB/Capetown.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sat. Half marathon&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sun. Full marathon, hotel Chicago&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Monday: Washington DC, and a long flight to JHB.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks God everything is going perfectly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AF&lt;/p&gt;
