There is always someone...

If you're a sports fan the NFL, NBA. NHL and MLB are options

Millennium Park where the Bean is, the Riverwalk, Chicago Navy Pier and Chicago's deep dish pizza

The Chicago Zoo s FREE (as is the one in DC) and a cruise/boat ride on Lake Michigan is an option if it's a nice still day

Tavern thin style Chicago style pizza > deep dish Chicago style pizza. Love that city, lots to do and see, music venues everywhere and a great food scene.

I am for sure. You got any more info? Quick google and nothing popped up

It's a discount clothing chain here, Ross's Dress for Less. Good finds in there from time to time, like TJ Maxx.

Does anyone have any recommendations for travel insurance?

Recommended cover, anything to be mindful of, etc?

go to a Dick's Sporting Goods and the hunting/shooting/fishing section - always an eye opener on how much you can buy and how cheap it is if you're a keen shooter or angler

We used cover more for our upcoming U.S trip. Reasonably priced. Just do your diligence on what your going to do as to what is covered

One way flight booked for next month. Gonna check out the new clippers arena, a Seahawks game and then cross the border and hopefully land a job before the savings diminish.

Never reviewed my August trip but in brief:

Vancouver was really cool. City was pumping the whole time. Just cool to see how many people walking around the streets/neighbourhoods on a weekday evening. A lively city. Highlights were probably Lynn Canyon hike and Stanley park. Their library is amazing.



Next was Seattle. Bainbridge Island was pretty chilled, great views of the city from the ferry and the weather was great. Did a Seahawks stadium tour and had a big night on a hostel pub crawl in Belltown.



Flew down to my least fav city Los Angeles. Hostel was a dump and any trip needed an hour on the bus. Did a tour of the Coliseum which was alright and a few dodgers games. $30Aus for a beer killed me.



Last stop was San Diego. Absolutely loved the city. Once again, a few more ball games. Stadium was amazing and right down. Padres won the second night and atmosphere was great. Shame they just got knocked out, Petco Park deserves a few World Series games. Went to USD campus, the library designed by Dr Suess was cool. Overall a great city and regretted staying longer in LA.

Thinking of a trip around this time next year, ticking off a few places I haven't been yet

• Vegas (Mrs would have a conference to go to there so would go see what the fuss is about)
• Miami
• Washington DC
• Nashville
• Portland
• Napa

Would also be hard not to squeeze in another trip to NYC, especially as I've only ever been there in the winter.

I really want to go back to SF, probably still my favourite city in the US, I've heard it's gone super downhill now though and I don't want to ruin the memories.
