Goodbye Chicago.....hello Jackson MI

 24th September - after having just a couple of hours sleep over the previous two nights I crashed last night and slept for 9 hours and felt good this morning. Still have a bit of pain and discomfort but am reassured by all the tests done that I'm not having a heart attack. Doctor said I did the right thing in going to the hospital but the wrong thing in waiting 24 hours :(  .
We went to the top of Sears Tower in Chicago - 103 floors - and stood out on a clear plastic ledge. Felt quite nauseated standing out there and indeed on the trip up. After a certain height the lift starts to shake - as did I. This building is the highest building in America and can be seen from 4 states. Took a nice long healthy heart caring, lung breathing, blood clot melting walk home :)
103 floors up
25 th September - Went for another healthy walk which incorporated a couple of Chicago's landmarks
Hey Adelaideans - this beats our Rundle Mall Balls - A giant bean lol
 Travelled today through Indiana to Jackson Michigan - on way to Detroit. 218.6 miles (351 miles) and yes we stopped for some breaks :) The pattern set on the road to St Louis continues. Milwaukee to Chicago has a highway speed limit of 55 mph (88 kph) but if you sit on that speed everything including the school bus will overtake you doing speeds up to 80 mph (130 kmh). It seemed I was the only one doing the right speed but no one was getting booked or chased or shot at! It was like they all knew a secret but weren't sharing it with me! Same thing today from Chicago to Jackson. I must be missing something.....weird.
