Chicago Packing List Tips by Marisola

Luggage and bags: I like luggage with many pockets, but you can use about anything. When I get to a new place, I usually buy a bag from that place to carry around and put in all the miscellaneous maps, brochures and postcards inside.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: In Summer, it's generally warm, so I would suggest some light clothing and swimsuit for the beach, but beware! In Chicago, you never know when the weather might change! Make sure you also have some warmer clothing, too! Sweaters and sweatshirts are good to have just in case! Our weather is crazy here! It will also be air-conditioned inside most shops and restaurants, and sometimes very cold on a summer day!
In Winter, it's generally freezing, freezing, and more freezing, so pack layers! When you get inside, you might be too hot. Also, when we're very lucky, we have some warm days in winter. Like I said, you never know!

Photo Equipment: Of course, bring a camera and take lots of photos! Photos bring back your memories of your trip.

Miscellaneous: If you're coming to meet me, bring some music! I love hearing new music!
