Although I had my doubts, it turns out that on the train you CAN get up and walk around.

And they have big seats.

And food at a reasonable price (compared to airlines).

AND POWER OUTLETS!

And it costs $43 round trip from Chicago to Kalamazoo, which is approximately $300 less than flying, and about 40$ less than driving.

The real question is how it compares going to Mpls.:)

Maybe you should test it out. I hope you have better luck with the train then me. Mine always end up with wheels.

I wanna come see you. You must miss me by now :)

Maybe after his sister is here I could come there for like 3 whole days plus two travel days. I think this time I want to try my luck with driving, maybe. though flying in theory should go better now.
Whens good for you guys? and what days of the week would be best?

Round trip cost for two people and one infant about $386. Trip duration in excess of 8 hours, one way.

Price may vary based upon time of year and potential discounts (they used to, and may still, offer discounts to AAA members)

Maybe we should try in a couple of weeks if our car's in trouble ...

Your car is going to get into trouble? Define a couple of weeks cause I think of that as two.

For the Minnehaha's party.:) Settle down.

When do you want to come and visit? There's only three weeks between now and the party weekend.:)

Hooray! Are you coming for sure? Are you still then coming when was it the end of June or July? So confused.

Well I just found these things out I was thinking around that time. So maybe after.

I've done Chicago - St. Paul once, and it is quite comfortable. The only downside is that it is not a direct route - it goes through Milwaukee before turning leftwards.

On the other hand, there's an honest-to-goodness dining car, and the food was good.
