Uh, oh, it looks like I forgot to log out when I left for McCormick Place at 8am CDT - sorry! Learned a lot about genealogy research today and had a lovely lunch all compliments of ProQuest.
My bus ride back, compliments of Gale/Cengage, was not so satisfactory because the driver made the first stop at the Hilton, then went directly back to the convention center. There were 8 or 10 of us headed for the Palmer House, which the driver skipped because he said, "They rerouted me." We could have gotten off at the Hilton and walked, if he'd told us. Instead we spent an hour and 15 minutes on a trip that should have taken 30 minutes tops. Color me p$&@#d.
