Make sure it doesn't rain the day you do to disneyland. We were
assured ahead of time that if we got rained out, we could get a rain
check for the next day. After we went in, the monsoons started, and
we found a gate and asked for the raincheck and they looked at us
like we were zombies form another planet. NO RAINCHECKS. Just shell
out another $100 and shut up. it was no fun to be wet and cold all
day. It was not enjoyable and we never went back. The kids had
looked forward to it for almost a year. In 20 years neither has gone
back there or to Dizyworld.
Not sure was going to look at one or two day passes I believe can be
purchased, is one day enough?
Would like to go to Universal Studios as well.

Definitely doing Disney - our 9 year old son is really looking forward to
that. Our 14 year old daughter is not interested at all she'd rather go to
the Getty Museum!
We will be in LA from 1 June - staying at Holiday Inn Buena Park - flying
to Chicago 5 June.
We are slowing informing ourselves about distances in LA, I have been told
there a more people in LA then Australia - our population is around
20million.
Train fare from Milwaukee to La Crosse for 2 adults, 1 child USD$110.00 one
way been on Amtrak website.
Travel agent reckoned Chicago to La Crosse one way is USD$600 per person!
Don't know what airline didn't bother asking.
We have a love of train travel: 12 years ago we did 2 month round Europe on
the trains with a two year old in tow & 3 year ago we did the length of
Vietnam by train.
Thanks to all your responses maybe driving is the way to go, it's Hendrik's
choice as he will be doing most of the driving

Anaheim?
So you'll be doing Disney I suppose. I went 2 years ago and surprised
myself by enjoying it. I usually spend 2 weeks in LA in June, we'll have to
see if our trips overlap. Maybe I can get you tickets to see Leno or
something, I've got contacts "In the biz" as they say.
A warning, it'll take about an hour to drive from Anaheim to Hollywood.
I'm not kidding. Yes I realize its like 15 miles... At rush hour it'll take
2 hours at least.
How much does it cost to take the train to LaCrosse? How much to fly? It
might be cheaper/easier to fly and then drive around. A quote
from "Greg The
Bunny" (one of my favorite largely unknown Fox sitcoms) might entice you =
"Nobody likes train travel, all you see is poor people's
backyards". I agree
and I LIKE rail travel.
How long is this trip? It sounds like theres going to be a helluva lot of
riding in trains...

Hi All
Hendrik's wife - name is Fay - here. Thanks for all the responses, greatly
appreciated.
We have our LA 4 day stay sorted. We have allowed 2 hours to get through
customs at LAX - is that enough time?- and have booked a shuttle service to
Anaheim as we are staying there for 4 nights.
I got cheap flights with American Airlines to Chicago & have found that it
is a ninety minute train ride to Milwaukee from there.
Have been on Amtrak website & we can go from Milwaukee to La Crosse by
train - 3 hour ride.
The main reason for train travel was to go from Chicago to New York - but
that means we have to go back to Chicago from La Crosse.
From New York I have looked at traveling by train to San Francisco. Then
driving to Las Vegas & then back to LA.
If anyone has any better suggestions please let us know - Hendrik would
prefer to drive & would love to do part of Route 66 from Chicago to Las
Vegas - however this would mean backtracking twice.
Our daughter & her team buddies are having a home stay in Decorah Iowa
before the conference in La Crosse.
They are all flying to Minneapolis/St.Paul as the Decorah people have
offered to pick them up from there.
As a back up if anything goes wrong I am trying to find a bus service for
them & am having trouble.
Is it Rochester buses that service that area?
Your smoking laws seem to be as strict as they are here in South
Australia, doesn't vary much from state to state here.
Rail travel is also really expensive here, depending where you want to go
it can be unaffordable for the average person.
Thanks all
Fay
