Utada + Chicago = Awesome

So I think I’ve already mentioned this, but Callan and I are going to Chicago in early February to see Utada (Hikaru – the JPop artist) to see her live at the House of Blues. While I’m not a huge fan, I do enjoy her songs and she’s pretty so I figure this can’t be too bad. And we’ll be in Chicago so we’re going to visit Callan’s friend whom she hasn’t seen in a few years. So really, this is killing two birds with one stone, three if you include getting to see my aunt I hardly ever see and four if you include getting to site-see Chicago. All in the course of about 36 hours

We’re taking the train from Syracuse, NY to Chicago, a 13+ hour trip, but it sure as hell beats driving for 15 hours. $212 for 2 round-trip tickets, score. And it only cost us about $50-75 more than if we drove and had to gas the car up. In this case, we’re paying for the luxury of not having to drive, well worth the cost if you ask me. I’m looking forward to the train ride, as well as seeing Chicago, and we’re staying in a Super 8 Motel for like $42 so you really can’t beat the prices.

That’s all for now. I set my phone up to text directing to Twitter so I’m totally going to update while on the train
