Heck yes? I'm all about the Amtrak Empire Builder. It's an amazingly beautiful ride, and I think the tickets are around $275 round trip. There's probably a group discount available if we get enough people together. The ride takes about two days, and beats the heck out of riding in a bus: quieter, you get to move around, and there are plenty of power outlets. ;)
Besides. It's a train. What better way to ride to RailsConf? -peat On 11/29/05, Robby Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The PLANET ARGON team has been talking recently about RailsConf 2006. > > We're curious... if we were to help sponsor some of the bigger costs... > and managed all the logistics... who would be interested in a > cross-country (portland to chicago) bus trip... or train trip to and > from RailsConf?
