Yeah, never doing Amtrak for Convention again. Schlepping that luggage gave me huge bruises on my shoulders (garment bag) and messed up an elbow. It doesn't help much if the luggage is on wheels because you have to get it up stairs to the boarding platform at the local stop PLUS up the steps to the train itself. That was a nightmare. Business casual clothes for four days plus formal dresses for night time= heavy luggage. But, I'm probably going to have to fly right into St. Louis due to the time element this time (agzg and I talked about me flying to Chicago and us driving from there originally). It's an extra day of travel each way that way and time is more valuable than money for me at the moment, I'm afraid. I had a huge loss of vacation time when I changed jobs. Hypoallergenic originally expressed some interest in coming along and exploring St. Louis while I am at Convention but I'm not sure if she still wants to do that. She loves St. Louis though.
