Hi,
   My name is Eric, and I'm new to tubenet.  I'm a 23 year-old tubist....I have a couple of lessons lined w/ Gene Pokorny and have never been to ravinia(or ANYWHERE in IL at all for that matter).  Anyhow, I was wondering if there was some cheap lodging available somewhere close to Highland Park, or (even around the airport)?  I'm also a veteran of the Marine Corps...i know some hotels have special rates for veterans.  I would be staying for a little more than a week, so I'm looking for a cheap week-long package.  Thanx and may God bless to whoever answers this!
