ORD to JFK

After a short night, an early morning, and a long drive to Chicago O'Hare, Carrie and I got to the airport without any troubles. After checking in it was time to say goodbye and be x-rayed. I found my gate and began long wait until my flight. A few hours later and we boarded the small Embraer RJ145. Coming down the ramp and literally stepping down in to the plane, I was met with a short ceiling--about 5'5". We taxided for a while then it was our turn. I could see Chicago's skyline far away on the horizon out of my window. With the enginees thrusting foward we took a steep turn to head east, directly over downtown Chicago. I waved and said 'hi' to Carrie, but she probably wasn't looking. A few minutes later we were alerady over Lake Michigan. It wasn't too much longer and I was alread over the big hand state. About the time we were crossing over into the pensulia of ONtario, the captain announced we had reached our crusing altitude of 3700 feet. It was nothing but blue skies ahead and an 80 degree F New York.
