General Mitchell airport
is about 15 mins from downtown, across the bay. Really convenient.

Remember to take Midwest
Express airlines. All seats are first class and they usually serve
chocolate chip cookies
on the way.
If you're coming from Chicago, don't drive unless you absolutely
must. Take an Amtrak train. You'll
be here in 1.5 hours from Union Station and it's a lovely ride.
Convenient hotels downtown are: Hotel
Metro (Modern, art deco), Wyndham
Milwaukee Center on Wells Street, or the
Pfister (beautiful historic hotel).
Our espionage theme nightclub is called The
Safe House. and it's located a few blocks from these hotels.
