Unless you just want a road trip, stay home and order online from one of the advertisers here. I would rather give my money to them, than to the oil company's.
I agree. Last year I didn't find anything that offset my trip with 1 night hotel, gas, and food but did have a good time with 4 other train minded friends. To boot a day away from the office is always a plus. We said last year we'll make this a yearly thing just to get away. Seeing everyone from Lionel and the LCCA was a bonus.
