Sadly, I doubt we'll be able to get the Mustang.

We were watching Kochak: The Night Stalker after doing some demolition of the living room section of Offhand Manor. We don't actually have a living room, but we've sectioned off about half the front room with the futon. The area with kshandra's computer, the TV, and all our bookshelves is the living room. It works for us.

Anyway, I love Kolchak. While watching this episode - Firefall - when I remembered the Chicago, where the show is set, is soon to host a World Science Fiction Convention. Thus, a plan was hatched.

We're going to Chicon 8. And for at least part of the con, I will be dressed as Carl Kolchak. I might even volunteer to work for Publications. Which would be pretty awesome.

My wild-eyed plan is to take the California Zephyr out; and I'm sure kevin_standlee will be organizing a group excursion on the train. Then fly back.

2022 is close enough to our 30th anniversary for it to count as that big trip. Saving now!

With the caveat that the current Amtrak web site assumes that they'll still be running only 3x/week -- I hope that will go back to daily by 2022 -- booking a trip from EMY to CHI for comparable dates in 2021 yields a price for two adults in a roomette of $1028. That includes train fare, accommodation, and all meals.
