Last night was a rough night for me. My cold is solidly lodged in my chest and I keep myself up most of the night coughing. Instead of spending another couple of hot nights at the KOA in Union, IL, we decided to get a motel room near O'Hare Airport so that I would be able to get a couple of better nights sleep. And it was only a couple of bucks more expensive than staying at the KOA. Unfortunately, no pool.
I dropped Rochelle off at the Airport just after noon and I went to the motel, checked in and sat down at the computer and started working. I soon got an email message from Rochelle. She had been sitting on the runway for quite a while. There was a ground stop at O'Hare due to thunderstorms. That threw her complex set of connections off and then through some very bad customer service on United's part, she was unable to complete her journey to Ottawa so she returned to O'Hare and I just came back from picking her up.
Today the temperature reached 40C (103F) and that is expected for tomorrow as well but Saturday it should start getting cooler. We will stay here tomorrow and will continue the ride again on Saturday.
