2003 Chicago GT

Friday Travelling

On the train.
The 10hr train ride was quite a trip. This is some random field someplace in Southern Ontario. Theres lots of them and the ALL look the same. *snore*

Still on the train
Yup, another field. After a while I gave up and went to sleep all curled up across 2 seats. Even then I don't recommend it as the best position to nap in.

Yup, on the train.
Would you belive there are other trains on the railway? Lookie here! Proof. :P

Can I get off yet?
Its like the train ride that never ends. We sat at the border for about an hour I think. About 4 people got pulled off for various reasons and came back. I, of course being the perfect elf I am had no trouble at all.

Am I there yet?
By the time I actually got off the train and into Union Station at Chicago I was no longer interested in anything but finding my hotel room and a shower so the last picture of my travels is here in the middle of nowhere also known as Michigan.

The Hotel Room
They were small but pretty fancy. The bed was a king size but I'd swear it was made by dwarves who have no clue that there are beings taller than 5 feet. Wait, you didn't peak in my suitcase did you?

Its Pink??!!
All the rooms were like this one, its not quite pink but its pretty darned close.

The Hotel Again
The only desk in the room. Notice the chat window on the laptop featuring Boyardee and Wylin making the last minute plans. I'll thank you not to notice the drink I felt was necessary after such a trip.

One Last View
Uhm, yeah. That is all.

Friday Drinks

Boyardee
Our Chicago native, leader and soon to be birthday boy.

Camera Envy!
Tokugawa passing his fancy camera over Marisa to show it off to Triston. Tokugawa won the award for biggest camera I'd think.

Hide me!
Lania hiding, though I'm not sure why now. Maybe she's still hiding from Triston. Lania met up with me earlier and we were wasting some time before meeting the group Friday night at 9. We sat down at the hotel bar to enjoy a drink when all of a sudden Lania's true seeing alerted her to an evil presence in the room.... Triston!

EVIL!
Or maybe I'm the evil one for leaving this picture in :) Several people over the weekend suffered the curse of sitting to close to me. Sorry Tris but its a good picture!

Marisa & Tokugawa
Also featuring Triston's leg!

Its them again
And the camera! Its become second nature now to always check behind me when walking to make sure Toku hasn't been left behind taking pictures. Hope I get over it soon, I'll never see him sneak up on me in SafeHaven

Sleepy Time?
Lania now looking sleepier rather than scared. I'll admit to that being my knee in the corner too.
