I waited too long to book in Oregon, so I am taking a different route - fly to New Orleans on the 19th, hop on Amtrak "City of New Orleans" to Carbondale, IL. In town from 0311 to 1615, then hop on Amtrak "Saluki" to Chicago, fly home the next morning
That's an interesting idea. Shouldn't have the traffic issues that driving will have if you can get into the middle of it, though you'd likely want a car to be flexible. I could catch the Crescent on Sunday night, arrive in Greenville SC in the morning, and catch the train back that evening. I'll have to think about that. If it was just me I'd probably book it since it can be cancelled, but my son is going to try to go too, and the overnight Monday night may not work for him.
