Laura, were you able to make definite travel arrangements for this weekend?

[londo954]

Laura...you can get an amtrak from the station in Porthope it will take you to the station in Toronto and from there yuou can get one to the border and beyond.
Its VIA RAIL in Canada and AMTRAK when it hits the border

Hey Helen & Londo954,

I've been trying to make plans for a while via VIA rail and Amtrak. It seems that they love to make me frusterated.
First I tried to book a train from TO, to Cincinnati and that was a no go. So then I tried to book a seat from TO, to Buffalo but apparently there is no train that day. I just got my Truck running (P.O.S F-150) since my VW Fox is still not running.  Whenever I try and see how to get from Buffalo to Cincinnati I get this error :

Problem Finding Service: Sorry, We cannot find any trains for the stations and/or time(s) you requested. Please try an earlier time, a different travel date, or alternate stations/cities. [Error ID: 108A]

Hmm... I might just drive the truck down. It'll cost me a small fortune in gas since it guzzels it down like no tomorrow. But at least I'll get there.  

SO much grief.. If I had the money I would book a plane.
But so far.. this friday is a go..  

Thanks for all your help guys! Really.. it means a lot to me!  

[londo954]

It takes longer but you could try Greyhound bus. You are supposed to go anywhere in teh continental North America for 99.00

[Laura Mabee]

Wow! Thanks Londo954!
*looks into it*

Laura,

Good luck, I hope you can get there.  I am going on April 30.  I can't drive because I had knee surgery recently but I managed to talk my DH into driving me down from Michigan to see it.  It is a 6 hour drive for us.

Hey Holly!
I hope you get to see it as well! It's unfortunatly that such an amazing exhibition such as this is coming to a close. So far, my plans are to see it this Friday.. but if all else fails, I'll be going down probably the 28th - 30th.

If my luck fails me, I'll see you there  

[HollyMI]

Laura,

Let me know if you do end up going on 4/30, I would love to say hi.

Holly

[Laura Mabee]

Will do  
I would love to meet up with memebers here

I saw the exhibit last week---on Wednesday.  It was well worth the trip from Kansas City!  I spent 4 hours going through the entire exhibit several times, finding something different that was especially moving or interesting each time.  The whole experience was much more personally moving than I had expected.  So I'd definitely recommend going to anyone who hasn't yet.  I asked about the little poster that I saw displayed, but the docent said that they'd given them all away...  It wasn't big or on expensive paper, but would've made a great souvenir.

I also visited the Taft Art Museum on my very short trip----a very distinguished collection in a beautiful setting----and they had a Faberge box!
