My thoughts exactly......Bruce beat me to it.

Last time I flew into Madison it was in a turbo prop.....10ish years ago.....

That some expensive air fare... Plus car rental and cabin rental...

Roy - For me it would be 2 adults / 2 Children and how many nights are we planning for the GTG?

Also need to know what the cancellation policy is, just in case we can't go.

Thanks for getting all the information. Tough to do when you work midnights. I don't think they would like a 2am phone call.

I can pick up anyone from Milwaukee, O'Hare or Midway. I'm 90 minutes from Milwaukee and 3 hours from O'Hare/Midway. Flights going into Milwaukee are going to be much cheaper than Madison.

I will be able to come, but not bring the fiver. I'll be driving back and forth. The week before is Boy Scout Summer Camp and I'm going to have to work a lot the week after. I'll still hang out a lot. I just can't disappear for a couple of days after being gone a week straight. It's only 90 minutes to Madison from my house. The fiver will be down in Mississippi with my mother. She will be using it to stay at my sisters for a few weeks in the summer.

We are usually in the Dells (we stay in Baraboo) around that week with the Toy hauler and motorcycles. I might have to join the fun. Jellystone will be a ZOO that week.

I will be driving right past o hare, most likely the 2nd if I'm towing the fiver, but will only have two seats available in the truck (wife and dog at least will be with me).

1100 miles / 16.5 hours. Hmmmm. I got an iron but but man... I'd have to break that one into two days each way. Doubt the Mrs. would be loving the idea. Will consider it though Roy...

Fridge isn't big enough for that......beer goes in the 100 quart cooler in the garage.
