Since we’ve passed the point of no return for France we’re starting to consider what it takes to get out to Chicago to get our flight and then get back from Chicago to Kalamazoo. As it turns out we can catch the train into Chicago on the 13th, have lunch there, then get on the plane to Paris at 5:30. Getting back is a whole ‘nother thing. On the 18th the only train leaving Chicago does so at 6pm. I’m not willing to land at 4:45 to catch a train at 6:00 when you’re talking about Chicago. So factoring in travel I have to take another day off from work – all in all it’s no big problem it’s just a wee pirahna nibbling away…
