Week 7

20 days until we leave. Yes I am counting down. Today Mitch and I decided to rent a car to get home from Chicago O'Hare when we return. It was the only way to get home at a decent hour. We took the train here, but will miss the train on the way back.

Our flight arrives at 12:45 pm then we will need to go through customs. Next train for South Bend leaves at 1:35 pm from Millennium station, and it takes around an hour or so to take the metro lines to Millennium station so therefore we will miss the train. The next train doesn't leave until 4:43 pm and we would not arrive until 8:14 pm and then still need to take a taxi to get from the South Bend airport to home. I really do not want to get home at 9 pm and have to teach the next morning. So we are renting a car instead.

The other option is to take the Coach USA bus from the airport to Notre Dame but that will cost $82 total and we would not get to South Bend until 7:20 pm. Again not a preferable option.

Here is this weeks forecast.
