Oh, Chicago!
After months of organizing and talking to four people over the phone and Skype and emails and Gchat, the week finally arrived where I would meet my amazing co-workers for Travel Mindset. Harley, Tobias, Lola and I met at an empty breakfast spot right around the corner from our boutique hotel, The Dana Hotel & Spa (any time it says spa in the name, you know its fancy!). Within seconds, we were all joking and laughing with each other, as if we had known each other a lot longer than a few months. Luckily, they are all lovely and I’m even more excited than ever to be working on this project.
It was a short but sweet trip to the windy city- and while I didn’t get to see all the famous sights, I did manage to eat my way around the city, make a few new friends and feel oh, so thankful and excited that I get to work on this dream project. Here’s a few photos before a big recap later this week. (Oh, and the reason for the radio silence last week- I went from St. Augustine Florida to Chicago to Panama City Beach Florida and now back to LA! Too much eating, not enough blogging!)
