This morning we had breakfast at a truck stop before reaching the Sioux Falls airport to catch our flight to Chicago at 10.50am. It was a sad farwell to the rest of the family and tears were shed by both sides. We waited until the last minute to go through security and what a mistake that was. We rushed to get to our plane (which was making its final boarding call!) but there were others behind us so lucky we were not the last! We both had quick cat naps on the plane before arriving in Chicago. We caught a shuttle to the hostel and then went out exploring the city but only managed to make it to the first Macdonalds where we had some food and walked the surrounding streets before returning to the hostel to escape the cold.
