Amtrak is expensive.  Don't take the bus or you'll wind up on a rolling Wal-Mart like I did on my trip to Huntsville.

You could always fly into Nashville and catch a ride with me.  I'm leaving Thursday afternoon.  I think St. Louis has a decent airport too.
I thought you were flying...

hmmmm.....sounds tempting.  Got some shenanigans going on on the work front, can't plan for that month just yet.  We shall see.

Same here. Waiting to see if I'm going to get promoted and transferred before I can plan anything.

No, the ticket for the Baconfest.  Better get yours before they sell out.

There's a $10 discount if you buy it online and the price goes up another $10 in August.

Eight hours, but I was going to stop in Paducah or St. Louis overnight.  I'm leaving Thursday after work (my office is only five minutes from the airport).

I've heard airfare is cheaper at certain airports.  I guess you have some options.

Shell Knob is about 45 minutes from Branson, and about 3 hours from KC. If anybody wants to fly into Branson, I can pick them up and take them along to the 'fest.......

If I can drive to Nashville from where I live in 7 hours, so can you (going the other direction, natcherly). (Well, I drive a car. I'm not sure what you're driving these days.  :lmao: )

Stay at my house. Lotsa room. Rent's cheap.

I'll be there, but Mrs. marv has to tend our 4 pup "animal farm".

We have to select a meetup place. I'll wear my brand-new, store-bought, yellow "Don't Tread On Me" tee. And I'll try to remember to bring my camera.

I'm 50/50 right now. Waiting to hear if I either get the promotion and transfer at work or if I get an actual job offer from the railroad. First one makes it more likely I'll make it since I'll be working normal hours again. Second one would make it iffy.
