O'Hare airport in Chicago

Happy 25th anniversary to Girls Weekend! In honor of our quarter century of consecutive years of this amazing tradition, Lori and I have decided it’s time to add another day to our weekend (and in case you are one of those people who count how many days are in our “weekend”, just stop it! It. Is. A. WEEKEND.)
Today was mostly about getting to Wilmington, finding our Airbnb, and settling in. After a bit of a break last year, Lori was again forced to fly all the way across the country, making for a long travel day for her. We flew in to Philadelphia; I arrived at 2:30 pm and went to find the car in the parking garage. We have started using Turo rather than commercial car rental companies. I am a complete convert and have now done this four times. The cars are clean, in great condition, and the owners have been communicative and wonderful. All those stupid rental car fees are missing, and all I have to do is make sure the car is clean when returned. $15 at a car wash is a heck of a lot cheaper than an extra $150 in stupid fees.
Lori arrived around 5:00pm and we set off for our Airbnb in Wilmington, Delaware. After going about 40 minutes in the wrong direction (it was NOT us, it was the stupid GPS and some false detour signs!) we got ourselves on the right track and arrived at our Airbnb just after dark. It’s a beautiful old house in Wilmington, and we have the entire second floor. We dropped off our stuff, then went to the grocery. Back in our home for the next several days, we settled in, unpacked, made sandwiches, and watched some television before turning in. Girls Weekend has begun!
