If you're going to fly, then fly into Dayton International.

Philadelphia (PHL) to Columbus (CMH) is a better Southwest route. I got it down to $140 round trip.

Window shopping trips is a favorite activity of mine. I haven't been on a trip in quite a while though. 8 years.

That's because Cleveland is nowhere. Only the rock and roll hall of fame is there....

:ducks:

Shawnee123 · 01-18-2011, 03:11 PM

Actually, I noted when I was there for a seminar last year, they've really made Cleveland look NICCCCEEEE.

I stayed here (these ritzy places will actually GIVE you a smoking room, and I could have set up a volleyball tournament in this amazing room in this beautiful hotel.)

Right across the street was an upscale bowling alley/restaurant (where I drank my dinner and watched the bowlers) and down the street is the Hall O' Fame, and a thousand other things around there. A lot of live music.

It's the awesome!

bah, if it's so good, how come their squirt hockey team had to travel all the way up here for a game and still lost?

Shawnee123 · 01-18-2011, 03:24 PM

Oh hell, what do Ohioans know from hockey? Football, maybe, but even in Cleveland they're not far enough north to have the real hockey bug that trickles down from Canada!

Yes, Amtrak is notoriously late and or delayed.

Shawnee123 · 01-19-2011, 12:01 PM

I hate it when it's just delayed, or just late. But when it's delayed and or late I lose all my marbles.

monster · 01-19-2011, 03:25 PM

The only two Amtrak trains I've been on were bang on time. Main problem is, they hardly go anywhere useful. This was a school field trip, one of the main points of which was to experience train travel -we still had a half hour bus ride to camp when we "got there" and the bus cost more than the train.

Marbles on the track is one of the primary causes of late and or delayed trains. People like you should just be pushed under the wheels and your marbles should be shared out among the urchins begging on the platform

Shawnee123 · 01-19-2011, 03:35 PM

Well, sometimes I am late but other times I am delayed and or held back.

Actually, in college we would run across campus at 10:45 to watch the 11:05 Amtrak come through, laying right next to the tracks, 6 or seven cars passing before the wind even caught our hair then blew it straight back.

Sometimes we were to late and or delayed and we had to get use to it, though.

We never put anything on the track. Even we were smart enough to not want quarters or marbles put INTO our heads.

Her point was Amtrak has scenery.

Wait, I saw the to, and the use, but not the marbles. Where are all the marbles?
