whirlwind tour

I was able to attend the American Burn Association's annual convention this year in Chicago and wow, what an awesome opportunity. Although I learned alot about caring for burns, I picked up a few other tips along the way. My favorite things I learned in Chicago:


1. Always choose a roommate that is extremely lucky (lucky enough to win 2 front-row tickets to Wicked) and kind enough to share the wealth.

2. If you include the satellite towers on top, the Sears Tower is still the world's tallest building!

3. Traveling with co-workers can be fun, especially when crusing the city in a Hummer limo.

4. And finally, Chicago is called "The Windy City" for a reason- jackets and umbrellas are always needed.
