As part of the internship I’m doing this summer, my store is paying for me to attend a conference at the home office in IL. (I’m in the Dallas, TX area). I’ve flown about a billion times before, so I don’t have any worries about the actual flight, but I’ve never traveled for business before, so I have some questions:
1. What should I wear on the plane?
2. If I want to take my laptop with me, can I still carry-on a small suitcase, or will I have to check it?
3. What’s the weather like in Chicago? (I’ve never been further north than Oklahoma… I really don’t know what the weather is like north of here during the summer.)
4. My itenerary says "limo" for my transportation from the airport to the hotel. Am I going to be expected to tip the driver?
5. My reservation is at a Hilton Gardens Inn hotel… has anyone ever stayed at one, and if so, what was your impression of it?
