Plans are afoot!
During a lull in today's activities (my truck is getting a scheduled maintenance, we got my new watch resized, Barnum got an oil change, and right now Kiri is having her hair redone) I'm starting to do some research on flights for Anticipation.
The current plan is to fly into New York City (possibly getting together with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fimbrethil et al for a quick visit), take the train up to Albany, where we would meet up with jarlsberg71 and drive the rest of the way. The con itself is August 6th - 10th, so I want to leave on the 3rd (morning flight) with the plan being to overnight in Albany, then not have to race up to The Great White North. Coming back would be a reverse of the previous trip. Car, train, the fly out of NYC on the 13th.
Alternately, I've found that we can fly to Montreal's Trudeau International Airport with a layover in Detroit for about the same price as going through NYC. The layover going back is 3.5 hours.
On the gripping hand, we could fly into Albany, meet up with John and then do the drive.
No matter what option we choose, airfare alone is going to be about a grand.
I'm doing this all through Orbitz. Anyone have a site they prefer?

The delay at the border has ranged from a couple of minutes to close to an hour.

For two people, the rail fare is not bad (about $500/person total), but the accommodations charge (for the bedroom on the train) is about $1000/person total -- that is, around $3000 round-trip for two people. That includes all meals on the trains, but doesn't include meals and hotel nights at Chicago and Albany each direction.
