It would definitely be nice to save money. This is going to be my one splurge for the year. Since my birthday is in early November, I'll probably get some money from relatives that I can put toward the convention, but it's still going to add up.
I was just trying to figure out travel schedules. They're giving me a headache. I could get the Greyhound to Milwaukee and then take Megabus from there to Chicago, except the online Greyhound scheduler sucks and doesn't say where exactly in Milwaukee the Greyhound stops. I have to phone to find out. Once I know that, I can figure out if it's feasible, time-wise, for me to get to the Megabus station for the rest of the ride to Chicago.
No matter how I get to Chicago, once I'm there I somehow have to reach the hotel. Did you take the Megabus to Chicago last year? And is the convention hotel the same as last year (Westin Lombard Yorktown Center)? If so, how did you get from the Megabus stop in Chicago to the hotel?
