The Chicago Seminars
One of my favorite frequent travel events of the year is coming up – the 2015 Chicago Seminars. Travel junkies from all over the world will converge in Chicago October 16-18, 2015 for an enlightening and downright fun travel event. There’s a FlyerTalk thread that includes the 411 on everything related to the seminars including registration, hotels and the speaker list/schedule. I’ve attended or presented at all but one Chicago Seminar (2011) and have been looking forward to presenting on my favorite topic, cruising, again this year. Unfortunately, I just could not make presenting and getting to Paris in the same weekend work due to a confluence of events. Shawn of Miles to Memories, an experienced cruiser, miles and points enthusiast, and all around good guy will present the cruising session.
I’ll miss being there, seeing old friends, and making new ones, but I know you’ll have a good time. If you’ve been on the fence about signing up, go! Click here for details and registration information.

Darn it, MJ! Was looking forward to meeting you. Your priorities are very misplaced – Paris rates over Chicago?!? Sheesh. đŸ˜‰ Have a great time, and have a crepe for me!
I know, Cate! I’m very sorry I couldn’t make it work, but we are leaving on a long trip on 10/17….I tried to make an ORD departure work, but logistics became too daunting. Will be easier to just depart from home (ATL).
Make sure to hang out at the Eiffel Tower at sunset. Most memorable sight of our two weeks in Paris a few years ago.
