Situational awareness and Intel gathering.I work in Chicago, I suggest you contact the hotel and every single place you are thinking about going as to what their policies are. There may be places that are not under the vax card mandate that will still require one. Don't expect that you can talk your way into places without the card. Expect people to move away from you and give you dirty looks when outside if you are unmasked. Expect to wear a mask every place you go indoors. Be very careful after dark. Do not take public transportation.
I din't understand why anyone would enter the city and spend money there that does not have to. Good Luck and ....well....I hope the wife gets it out of her system.
Reminder to all, see post #28.
