Join me as I drive almost the entire length of the Pacific Coast, from San Diego to Seattle, and hit some highlights in between. Things didn't start out so well last night.

Chicago Architecture Highlights: 5 Must-Dos

Several American cities hold a special place in my heart, but when it comes to indulging my appreciation for great architecture, Chicago stands head and shoulder above its peers.

The Best Time to Book a Flight
