USA on business

Dashed out of Jhb on Sat for a marathone flight to Washington DC via Dakar. Then on to Chicago. Managed to get an earlier connection thanks to going waitlisted. Travel to the US is a real breeze if you have hand luggage only! From landing till I passed customs & immigration: 35mins!

Spent Sun in Chicago. Nice. Did the non-typical tourist wanna-be local thing of not buying a sightseeing tour & just soaking up the city using normal cta public transport and walking. Amazing.

Some pics...

Q-Center at St.Charles is great. Having a blast. I'm one of 289 participants from 30+ countries at Strategy College. Went for a gr8 little run along the Fox River bank this morning!
