Well....it's $250 to fly on American Airlines roundtrip to Columbus.
What is the nearest Amtrak Station to Mansfield?

It seems like there will be driving involved no matter what.
hmmmm

any ideas?
I won't take Greyhound unless there is a nuclear war and it's the only mode of transportation left. LOL

From what I could find there are two Amtrak stations close to Mansfield ( it said within 30 miles)
Sandusky, OH and Elyria, OH

thank you for hashing that out for me!
I like to take the train when I can, but it looks like it gets me just about as close as flying does.
Guess no matter how I go (if I don't just drive a car the whole way) I'll have to rent a car or take a short bus ride.

Thanks again for looking that up!

dunno if my first King Con is gonna be this year...
one co-worker already is out on a vacation day that Friday and the other is out on maternity leave
basically if I take the train to Sandusky and then rent a car I could have all day Friday and all day Saturday leaving early Sunday morning...but I'd arrive in Sandusky at 4:15 a.m. Friday morning LOL
the good news is that only costs $92 round trip, which leaves plenty for renting a car

if I wasn't able to take Friday off it wouldn't really work too well since I'd only have from 5 a.m. Saturday til 5 a.m Sunday and that doesn't include getting back and forth from Sandusky to Mansfield

gonna see if the woman on maternity leave will be back and working that Friday and then I'll know for sure if it's just not realistic
