GIRLS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO!

Hey Girls!
 
This years’ Girls’ Weekend in Chicago November 7-9, 2023!  This year's show is "Beetlejuice”.
 
Here’s the plan:
 
Friday, November 7th
3:00     Meet in the Goody's parking lot to carpool to Effingham.
5:52     Board Amtrak (you will receive your Goody Bags and boxed dinners)
9:45     Arrive in Chicago
11:30  Check in to hotel – The Congress Plaza
 
Saturday, November 8th
Everyone can do what they want – site-see, shop, etc.
6:00     Dinner
8:00     “Beetlejuice” at Auditorium Theatre
 
Sunday, November 5th
Everyone can do what they want – site-see, shop, etc.
11:00   **Hotel Check-out (the hotel will hold our luggage until our train departs)
4:05     Board Amtrak
7:19     Arrive in Effingham (the train usually runs a little late on the return)
10:00  Arrive back in Princeton
 
There is a TON of stuff to do in Chicago – Lots of shopping, museums, Shedd Aquarium, Art Institute, The Navy Pier, Skydeck Chicago, John Handcock Observatory, the Magnificent Mie and much more!
 
Our hotel will be within a mile or so of the train station and the theatre.  Walking is easy and safe.  Cabs/Ubers are also readily available anytime at a low cost.
 
The cost will not exceed $325.00 per person, though my goal is to keep it at $300.00 or less (this will depend on the group size and what deals I can get).  The trip cost includes: Amtrak round-trip, 2 nights in a downtown Chicago hotel, Musical ticket, Official Girls’ Weekend T-shirt, and a packed dinner for the train Friday evening.  You can also count on some other goodies as well!
 
The registration deadline is June 15th.  I need to book ASAP to get the best prices!
 
If you are interested, I need the following:
 
#1 – Who is coming and their t-shirt size
#2 – Who will be rooming together.  There are between 1-4 people per room.  The more people you have in your room, the lower your individual cost.
#3 - $100.00 deposit per traveler by June 15th. Final payment is due by September 1st.
 
This trip is open to everyone – the more the merrier!  Feel free to forward this on to all your girlfriends!  There is time for us all to be together in a large group, but also plenty of time for individuals and small groups to explore the city on their own.
 
 
I look forward to hearing from you!
