[PRCo] Airports

[Bob Rathke]

I drive or taxi to O'Hare 2-4 times a month - it's 18 miles and only 25 
minutes from our house.  The trick is to live or work on the north side of 
Chicago.  Going through the city of Chicago to points south and east is 
asking for travel delays.

O'Hare is my airport of choice because I can get a plane from there to any 
place in the U.S. - and much of the world - without connections.
