We’ve decided to leave for Chicago tomorrow (Monday) afternoon, since chances are I won’t have to work a full day. We’ll be spending the night in Texarkana, which is closer to Austin than Little Rock (since we’re getting a later start). Then, on Tuesday we put in the 12 hour drive up to Chicago.

So, we’ll be in Chicago on late Tuesday night (the 19th). Our likely departure date back to Austin will be 12/30.
