Brittany,
I have a straight flight from Chicago to Milan and the Milan to Bilbao (Spain)which is a short flight. Chicago to Milan is 9 hours there and 10 hours on the way back. Against the current on the way back?? 
I haven't tried the Sudoku thing yet but my husband loves it. I'll have to give it a go. I'll be bringing a deck of cards to play solitaire, too.

Khyricat,
I know you're packing knitting needles and they're getting a little more slack but I don't know if they'll let me take my Punchneedle needles. I'm thinking about driving to my local airport to show someone and ask. I'd hate to have to mail them home. Can't leave them behind as they're too expensive!

I only travel with wooden/plastic needles on planes- since I use almost entirely wood anyway its not a big deal.. I'd think of something that doesn't involve sharp stuff!

Just ask as you are checking your bags. If you're not allowed to carry them on, you can put them in your checked luggage.

there should be a website for that, stuff youre allowed to carry onto planes.. the security here is called TSA so maybe look up http://www.tsa.gov/public/ and i know they have a section on there somewhere..hope that helps..

I'm gonna ask anyway. Now that they're letting people take scissors on board, there's always a possibility. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed.

I liked it a lot! For me, that's really saying a lot, because I am NOT a city person at all... and mind you, I still didn't like it enough to ever want to live in a place so busy and rushed, but it was still a wonderful time.
We didn't get to see nearly as much as I would have liked - we only had 3 days to sightsee, and my stepfather (who lives there) wanted to give us the walking tour of downtown, which ended up burning the entire first day of the trip. All I really remember from the first day is that really cool double fountain thing with the faces that change and "spit" - I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, haha. The rest was just buildings to me. Friday we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo, and Saturday the Art Institute. Loved them both, but the Institute was just AWESOME. It's probably been at least 10 years since I've been in a good art museum, so I was in my glory. All that wonderful Picasso!
And we ate a lot.  Dinner one night was Italian Village, and the next night was Bandera. Great food both times, I was thoroughly impressed.
Didn't get to do any of the nightlife - I was hoping to get out Saturday night and see some blues, but all the walking in the sun wore me out! (I must be getting old! LOL!)
