Guitar man - ready to travel

We went back to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the second day and had another great day of fun and frivolity amongst the exhibitions. We paid for an upgrade to the two day ticket price but when we got to the entrance door the staff recognized us as the "two Australians who loved Rock and Roll" and they were really chuffed that we had come back. As a result they refunded our money and told us that we shouldn't have to pay. We had a long talk to many of the staff and got a lot of "inside information" which made it even more special. Again we spent the whole day at the Museum and finished off by buying a couple of things from the gift shop. The next day we headed back to Chicago and decided to stay at a hotel near the airport since the GPS in our car was a bit dicey. Amongst other things it had tried to send us the wrong way up a couple of one way streets, it had taken us to a Kmart which didn't exist and it had almost taken us across the Canadian border. Today and most of tomorrow are "rest days" while we prepare to catch the plane to London tomorrow night for the start of the European leg of our journey. Hope my new guitar (see picture) will pass through customs so that I can use it to busk in London to help pay for the trip.
