Ben's Tours--Millenium Park, Chicago IL

Each installment of Ben's Tours takes you on a visit to a special place. This time join me as we tour one of the world's most iconic urban parks, Millenium Park in Chicago. With its unprecedented combination of Frank Gehry architecture, monumental sculpture and landscape design, Millennium Park is unlike any park I've ever seen. Music is Canasta's "Slow Down Chicago".

Big Ben, I think Chicago will be my next place to travel to :). If you don't mind me asking or if it isn't too much to ask:

1.) Do you use a travel agency? (I've found the best deals through Expedia, thus far.)

2.) How long is your usual stay? (mine is a week......which might very well be the reason why I don't travel as often as I'd like to...)

@EvilSecondTwin Personally, I book everything online. Nothing against Expedia, but I prefer to max out on travel loyalty points and you have to book direct to do that. As for length of stay, I aim more for long weekends. The plus side is I do get to travel more, but I must admit it can be a very aggressive and tiring schedule when compacted into a short stay. Either way, Chicago is a fantastic city to experience!
