More en route info

Alright folks, sorry for the lengthy repose.  We're back.  Turns out a lot of people are looking at going through Chicago, which is well and fine.  Here are two options for trains out of Chicago, closer to us and the venue:  

Union Station to St. Joseph:  Under 2 hours, costs $17.  There aren't that many time options, but it gets you right where you want to go.

Union Station to South Bend, IN:  1.5 hours, more expensive.  There are quite a few options for the train ride, but you might have to hang out in South Bend until we can arrange pick ups/drop offs (this is about 40 minutes from St. Joseph)

Here's the link to Amtrak, if this option sounds interesting to you:
