  • Welcome to part 1 of the Great Eastern Circle, a 3-part series documenting my travels between St Louis, Chicago, and Washington DC this January. 2 segments by air, and 1 by train.
    Today's trip is from St Louis to Chicago Midway on a brutally cold, snowy afternoon. This weather meant some cool footage from the landing at MDW. I also caught a ride on the CTA and included an updated review of the downtown Travelodge. Hope you enjoy!

    It looks like you took the Cardinal to DC. The other video that I saw from someone made that took the same train showed some interesting scenery, but he took it in the fall. Anyway, that seat on the CTA train is sometimes referred to as the "hobo corner". I say sometimes because there are some people who use that term to only refer to the seat in the unused operator cab.

    That landing - about 1,500 feet of remaing runway at the exit point?
    Short, indeed!
    The hotel accommodations meet my standards and budget.
    Thanks for the information.

    Amidst the Government shutting down. I had no issues Flying to Seattle on January 19th, Then I took Amtrak Back to St. Paul. Then flew back home to Sioux Falls. One good thing about Sioux Falls was no TSA. They have contracted security there being that it is a regional airport. But overall no issues on my trip during the shutdown.

    I found it interesting that in Chicago they deice the planes in the gate area. At Canadian airports we have separate areas for it that have drans that are completely separate from the rest of the drains in the airport so that the deiceing fluid doesn't get anywhere else.

    • @IsoscelesKramer
      @IsoscelesKramer 5 лет назад

      Probably just space constraints, given that it's such a small airport.

    I like the creative intro, but speaking of which, I’m flying southwest right now! I’m flying from Baltimore with my family to New Orleans to visit relatives. No, I don’t do trip reports unlike you, but I wanted to give a heads up.

      Sam Sitar sadly, I won’t because I’m never sure which airport my family is flying from, which airline my family is on, and how the outcome will turn out.

    • @Jimbodisfan
      @Jimbodisfan 3 года назад

      The original time of arrival; because Southwest Airlines is headquartered on the east coast, times are American eastern time, even though both St. Louis and Chicago are in the Central time zone.

    Did you just touched the toilet lids with bare hands and then grabbed the coffee pot? Yikes!!! Is a budget hotel. You of all people should know those budget hotel chains only give the appearance of clean.

  • @Don55443
    @Don55443 5 лет назад +6

    You lifted the toilet seat then went and touched the coffee maker??? This confirms why I don't like staying in hotels, you never know who's touched what. The next person staying there may want to make some coffee, having no idea about the bacteria you left behind. I enjoy your video's but that is beyond disgusting.
