10. Unpack at your leisure,
explore the Chicago Hilton and Towers and its magnificent environs,
swim in the indoor pool, try out the fitness center.
9. Take a one block walk
to view the kaleidoscope of colors displayed nightly at the legendary
Buckingham Fountain located in Grant Park.
8. Delight your palate at
one of Navy Pier's many fine restaurants or whirl around the gigantic
Ferris Wheel.
7. Dab on suntan lotion and
explore one of the many Lake Michigan beaches or just sit outside the
Planetarium and watch the sailboats glide by.
6. Discover the area around
the hotel: you can attend a theater production, listen to a major symphony,
view paintings by the world's greatest artists, delight at dolphins
romping in the water, watch baby chicks hatch, or watch the stars dance
across the ceiling of a room. *
5. Windowshop down the Magnificent
Mile of Michigan Avenue or take the courtesy bus to major department
stores downtown.
4. Zoom up the elevator of
the Sears Tower and enjoy a panoramic, breath- taking view of the city
by the lake.
3. Browse the Exhibit Hall
before the crowds are there. You'll meet interesting people and explore
new ideas. While you're there, leaf through the latest books on parenting,
nutrition, and other topics of interest at the LLL bookstore. Prepare
to be impressed by the inspiring displays in the poster session area.
2. Sail away on the Alumnae
Cruise, and enjoy a delicious dinner, listen to a delightful musical
review, and marvel at the magnificent view of the Chicago skyline.
1. Come early to renew old
friendships, welcome the new, and relax in the cocoon of an LLL world,
before, during, and after the LLLI Conference, July 7-10, 2001, Chicago
Hilton and Towers, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
*The Auditorium Theater,
the Goodman Theater, the Shubert Theater Orchestra Hall, the Art Institute,

Who
Is Sue?
Mary Hurt
Come to Chicago to meet Sue.
She is 42 feet (12.8 meters) long and is 13 feet (4 meters) tall at
her hips. She has 58 teeth. Her skull is 5 feet (1.5 meters) long, but
her brain cavity would barely hold a quart (1.1 liters) of liquid. Sue
is the largest, most complete, and best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex
on display anywhere in the world. When she was alive, her home was near
Faith, South Dakota, USA.
Her home is now the Field
Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Visit Sue at the
museum's web site, www.fieldmuseum.org or better yet visit Sue when
you come to Chicago, Illinois, USA to attend LLLI's 17th Breastfeeding
Conference: A Kaleidoscope of Families, Friends and Cultures, July 7
- 10, 2001 at the Chicago Hilton and Towers.
