Any advice re. packing? I'm flying from Boston to Chicago on Spirit Air, and planning on carry-on luggage only.

I'm having a lot of trouble fitting everything, though. I might have to leave the elf costume home. :(

    It'll be warm in Chicago, so all you need is a toothbrush and thong bikini.

    Tough choices!!! You might be able to leave the skis at home, snow is not in the forecast (yet). The boa is fun and goes with any outfit. Cap'N Crunch- don't need to say anything there. Fire extinguisher for when the hotel bonfire gets out of control. Clip the tip of of the beaks of the pink flamingos and poke a hole in their butts and you have instant beer bongs.

    They all seem to be important and necessary items!!!

    you can munch on dry captn crunch at the show, yes/no? ski the skiless? throw ed your skis during your favorite song, yes/no?

    wear the boa, hat & the elf costume onto the plane & throughout the festivities
    mail the flamingo, clothes hanger & fire extinguisher to a friend who is driving & has room in their car.

    of all the things in that image, the elf costume might be the only useful thing for wrigley.... i highly recommend you take it...

    you can forever be known as the wrigley elf... ;)

    you can thank me later for giving you the idea to wear it to the show.... ;)
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    might as well bring the skis along...you never know when there might be a freak snowstorm, and the train shuts down...it would be cool to ski around Wrigley...yes/no?
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    fine, then you bring a camel and a moose to the show and teach unlost the difference between the two.

    Unlost! unlost! Please borrow Mr. Unlost's tool...errr, I mean the fire hydrant wrench thingie...PJ_Soul has discovered how hot and humid it will be in Chicago, and is wanting to crack a few hydrants...please ensure her shenanigans are properly executed.

    thank-you for your assistance...:angel:

    How many changes of clothing should I bring for 3 nights in Chicago? I'm thinking 5 after seeing the weather forcast. Or maybe just 2 and quarters for the laundry? Assuming there is a laundry in the Hyatt Regency :think:
