<p>Seriously, now is a good time to start learning about how to do cheap travel, if you come from a family that cares about expenditures. You need to learn what websites really have, and how travelocity is not always the cheapest.

There is no direct cheap public transit from O'hare. Cheap or direct, not both.)</p>
