The 5 A's of Travel and Tourism

Attractions-Biophysical: Within Chicago and surrounding cities, there are a variety of biophysical attractions. One of which would be Lincoln Park. This park spans across 6 miles of the coast line of lake michigan and contains beaches, biking and hiking trails as well as horseback riding trails. Another biophysical attraction within Chicago would be Foster Avenue Beach which also spans along the coast of lake michigan.
Cultural: As well as having biophysical attractions, Chicago and neighbouring cities contain a lot of cultural attractions. One of which that I plan on visiting would be the Field Museum of Natural History. This museum was founded in 1893 and contains over 20 million artifacts. Another Cultural Attraction would be Willis Tower (used to be Sears Tower). This tower became open to the public 1974 and is 1453ft (452m) tall. On a clear day, you can see up to 50 miles (64km) over four different states.
Access- When in Chicago, Taxi's and public transit are popular methods of transportation. For my trip however, I have chosen to rent a car to help save some money and make more different destinations easily accessible for myself.
Accommodation- Within Chicago, there are many forms of accommodations ranging from very cheap motels to very high end hotels that cost hundreds of dollars to stay at nightly. For my trip I have chosen to stay at hotels that are reasonably cheap.
Activities- Throughout my trip, I will be engaging in a variety of activities. The main one being paintball tournaments. When not participating in large tournaments, I have chosen to spend much of my free time exploring different areas of chicago, visiting museums such as the Field Museum of Natural History, visiting beaches, roaming around the city experiencing every day life of someone living in Chicago. I have also chosen to play in some recreational games of paintball at some of the more local fields to witness the variety of fields.
Amenities- Some amenities that I will require during my trip is a cell phonoe capable of constant communication with home. Being in a new plave to me for so long, I would like to have methods of communication to my family. I would also like to always have a map or GPS. In somewhere as crowded as Chicago, I would like to have some kind of navigation so I always know where I am compared to where I should be
