Wie versprochen, werde ich - wenn auch etwas verspätet - mit meinem Bericht über den diesjährigen USA-Trip beginnen. Wie immer in einem solchen Fall, fängt das Ganze mit dem Anflug in den States an. In unserem Fall war das ganz klar Chicago, denn hier fängt die Mother Road an. Und nicht weit von hier entfernt, nämlich in Middlebury IN, nahmen wir unser Wohnmobil entgegen.
Aber bleiben wir jetzt erst einmal bei unseren beiden ersten Tagen in Chicago:
Der Anflug auf Chicago O'Hare verlief ganz klassisch über den Eriesee und über die Skyline von Chicago

Dieses Bild habe ich übrigens vom Onboard-Intertainment-Bildschirm abgeknipst.

Nach der Landung und anschliessender Einreise ging es dann zum Hotel, wo kurzes Einchecken anstand. Anschliessend war Basketball angesagt. Es ging also per Uber-Taxi zum United Center, wo die Bulls an jenem Abend gegen die L.A. Lakers spielten.

Einen Tag Zeit sollte man sich schon nehmen für eine Stadt für Chicago. So lange kann die Route66 schon noch warten. Sightseeing in einer aufregenden Metropole:

Hier sollte das Abenteuer eigentlich anfangen. Für uns startete die Reise über die Mother Road allerdings in Middlebury IN, wo wir unser Miet-Wohnmobil in Empfang nahmen. Hierüber werde ich in den nächsten Tagen berichten.

Einen schönen Sonntag wünsche ich Euch allen! Bleibt gesund!

Euer Patrick

As promised, I will start my report on this year's USA trip, albeit a little late. As always in such a case, the whole thing starts with the approach to the States. In our case it was clearly Chicago, because this is where Mother Road starts. And not far from here, in Middlebury IN, we received our motorhome.
But let's stick to our first two days in Chicago:
The approach to Chicago O'Hare was quite classical over Lake Erie and over the skyline of Chicago.

By the way, I took this picture from the onboard entertainment screen. Look where I flew over Greg @gregbit and Margaret @margaretwise

After the landing and the following entry we went to the hotel, where we had to check in for a short time. Afterwards basketball was the order of the day. So we went by Uber-Taxi to the United Center, where the Bulls played against the L.A. Lakers that evening.

One day time should be taken for a city for Chicago. Route66 can wait that long. Sightseeing in an exciting metropolis:

This is where the adventure was supposed to start. For us, however, the journey over the Mother Road started in Middlebury IN, where we received our rental motorhome. I will report about this in the next days.

I wish you all a nice Sunday! Stay healthy!

Yours,

Patrick

Thank you, my dear friend! 😃

gute reise mein lieber freund...

Hallo Daniel, mein Freund!
Es ist ein Rückblick, der Trip war vom 12. bis 31.03. Die Zeit war knapp bemessen, unterwegs war ans Posten nicht zu denken. 😃😉

The city looks very beautiful at the night time :)

Indeed it does! Thanks a lot, Cleopatra! :)

Magnifique de te revoir Patrick !! Cela semble avoir été encore un voyage fantastique, nous sommes impatients d'en suivre les épisodes !
Je te plains de devoir trier toutes tes photos, chacune d'elle est un souvenir que tu auras envie de montrer, et comme tout choix est un renoncement je suis de tout coeur avec toi 😊
Merveilleuse journée à toi et merci pour ces belles photos de Chicago !

Merci beaucoup ma chère amie! Eh oui, le voyage était de nouveau merveilleux.
Trier les photos fait plaisir, mais prend énormément de temps. Je voulais poster aujourd'hui, mais j'ai juste fini de choisir les photos et je suis déjà lessivé. Le post de la première étape en camping car sera pour demain....
Une très bonne soirée à toi et à Yves!

Merci cher ami, et je transmet à Yves 😊

Awesome photos @pipurilla It sounds as though you had a fabulous trip to the US. 😊

Thanks a lot, Trudee,
Indeed, I had a great trip. After we did it in 2017 in only 9 days with detours to Las Vegas and Grand Cañon, this time, we had 15 days without detour. It was less stress this time.

That's great to hear Patrick. You have to take these opportunities when you can and the less stress during traveling the better. 😊

Wow, Patrick!! @pipurilla I knew you were coming, but, have lost that touch with you to know of your travel plans. How exciting to start in Chicago. My brother-in-law and wife live there, so it is one of the places I have loved well.It is an exciting city with so much to see.

Glad you got to take in the Bulls game while you were there! :)

I am so happy you blog this experience, this wonderful way to see the world. One trip at a time. I know you are going to have a fabulous time and I hope to check in on you and see how the trip down Route 66 goes!

Love to you and yours!

Thank you so much, Denise, also for sending Tipu! 😊
Yes, it was a fantastic trip and I'm really looking forward to post about it. I'll try to post the next stage today before I leave to Switzerland tomorrow, where I follow my family. They are at my in-laws since last Saturday, but I'm a bit short with days off, so I can only follow. But I'll be back next week.
Have a great day, Denise!

How nice, Patrick!!! Off you go again!

I loved when you went to Switzerland last time and the pictures were simply incredible. Oh, if we could only have endless time on our hands, right?

I look forward to the post and have a safe and wonderful trip!
