what about the train?

did you try flights to Midway? that airport is about same distance to St. charles

if you volunteer 2 hours you could get comped registration

train doesn't work, I'll look at midway thx, but I have missed several days due to illness, and not sure I can convince my principal

I also spent my next egg on some medical things....drat

Bummer...was hoping to meet you.

lol, sorry not next egg, nest egg- that sounded wierd

when ru flying in Jen? Colleen?

I'm arriving Wed the 25th in the am.

It's ONLY about a 5 hour drive - still in reason IMHO. Try Kayak.com for the flights. Maybe you can share hotel?

awww man..you guys are making it hard need to pray about it
