On the flight into O'Hare, we could see the lightening clouds exploding in the sky and heavens over Illinois east of Chicago. The forecast was for thunderstorms all day the 5th in Chicago, a temperature of 85 and a humidity of 75%. After announcing our descent on the PA system, due to the lightening, they put us into a holding pattern for 45 minutes as O'Hare shut down refusing to accept aircraft.
We finally got down. Even with the delay, within 5 minutes of our scheduled arrival. The airport taxi experience was discouraging. Never fly into O'Hare expecting to hire a cab off the curb. Call in advance and make a reservation. A 5 mile cab ride cost us $18!
We spent the night of September 4th at a hotel close to the airport finally arriving at our room at 1:30 am. Kind of a dump and I had a fitful night's sleep wondering how our room would fare on Gordon Ramsey's black light test.
