Our 40th wedding anniversary trip to Alaska officially begins in this video! Join us as we travel from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, through Chicago O’Hare International Airport, kicking off a once-in-a-lifetime anniversary adventure. This travel day is all about turning airports, flights, and layovers into part of the experience—and starting our Alaska journey the right way.
We begin at the brand-new Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, exploring the modern terminal before boarding a small regional jet for our flight to Chicago. We share an honest review of what it’s like flying on a tiny plane, from comfort and views to in-flight service—yes, including a favorite snack. After arriving at O’Hare Airport, we settle in for the night at the ultra-convenient Hilton Chicago O’Hare Airport, complete with a room tour, runway views, and our thoughts on why convenience really matters during long travel days.
Dinner takes us somewhere special—the iconic Gaslight Club, a 1920s-themed speakeasy and one of O’Hare’s hidden gems. As the night winds down, we end the day with a beautiful timelapse of planes taking off, trains passing by, and city lights glowing outside our hotel window. It’s the perfect pause before the next leg of our Alaska adventure.
If you’re planning a trip to Alaska, flying through Chicago O’Hare, or looking for ways to make a layover feel memorable, this video is full of inspiration, honest reviews, and travel tips.
✨ Convenience wins. Views steal the show.
