Michael,
I am so glad you will be able to make the convention. I am looking forward to finally meeting.
Melissa, Liz & Rori will be better able to answer your question on the airport information, but the weather in Milwaukee in July is as follows. I had to look it up and converted it for you as I am certain you do not use Farenheight in Switzerland.
Average high in Milwaukee. 27 c
Average low 17c

It would be about a 2 hour drive from O'Hare to Waukesha. Is there a way you could fly into Milwaukee instead?

Hi Melissa
Tks. for the Info.
The Swiss flight is from Zurich non-stop to O'Hare. No direct flights to Milwaukee so will have to live with the 2h. car drive......... what looks like will be a very long day (week end)
But still looking forwards to take part in the Convention, and meet (if not all) some of this (grate) virtual (for me) family I was forced in - and so grateful I have you all.

Michael you can't get a direct flight to Milwaukee from anywhere international but you can get a flight which connects which is what I'm planning on doing? Have you tried looking into that idea? Has to be easier than facing the drive!
I'm looking forward to meeting you too

Svenn - I'm very excited about meeting you and Bente. That's such good news. It adds two more to the list of people I can't wait to meet face to face after two years of feeling like friends with them.

Michael,
There is a bus that will take you from O'Hare airport to the Milwaukee airport - cost is quite reasonable. There would definitely be someone available to pick you up from the airport in Milwaukee.

Michael,
I may be wrong about this, but I believe the only direct connections between New York and Milwaukee would come via Midwest Airlines, and they only fly into and out of La Guardia airport. Perhaps you could find a shuttle from JFK to La Guardia???

Michael,
Please stop with the "I'm too stupid" for these things.
The majority of us would be hard-pressed to navigate our way around Switzerland, or speak Swiss, or know one airport from another. You are doing just great my friend.

Michael, you need to phone the hotel to book the room.
Also, easiest thing to do is book your flight where you fly into Chicago, and then take another smaller connecting flight to Milwaukee. Whenever we fly out of Milwaukee to another country or to California, we always have a connecting flight through Chicago's O'Hare airport (due to it being an international airport).
