Why bother to book a hotel at downtown Chicago? There is a lot hotels (Schamburg) around 10min away from Deaf Expo.

Sound good. not so far to O'Hara International Airport
 
Usually you can find great hotel deals on Friday and Saturday night downtown. They have so many hotels due to business and conventions that usually half the rooms downtown are empty.

No need for a car downtown either. Trains are safe and the city is very walkable. Plus bars downtown stay open til 5 am on weekends. :)

For people who take airplane then O'hare to downtown Chicago for hotel should be okay.

I can take to rent a car. not needing to take cab.
 
I don't mind going to Chicago for Deaf Expo and AD all meet-up. I would take Amtrak ride from here to there...it's only 10 hours and 45 minutes ride. I've been to the Windy City twice before. I have a numerous of deaf friends outside of the city. If I decide to go there, I'd like to meet Kris (aka Neo) and Galen.

:lol: The Highlander and I have so much in common! We love Subaru, both live in the same state, moved to the same state for gf's sake and many other things! I will be bringing along my gf, I hope we can make it to Chicago in Nov. I have never been to a major Alldeaf meet, but have been to a minor one in Seattle with Jiro, Celicity and Missywinks.

why train? it's nearly the same cost as plane fare.

Awesome that she rode your old subaru. :lol:

We might leave on Friday and stay there for 2 nights and return on Sunday, possiblity. We'll have to plan ahead in October, I think.
 
Not always. I'm kind of frequent Amtrak rider. I sometimes get cheaper fare compared to flight fare for the same desination. Another thing is, I don't like to rely on credit card too much.

how cheap?
 
It is possibility cheaper to ride on the train than on the plane if you have kids coming along. I will rather drive because it's only 4-5 hour drive to there. I pray the weather won't be too icey. We aren't going to bring 2 boys and a gal to Chicago due to distraction and all.
