Jeanine! 4 of us are now taking the Amtrak from Holland! (that would be really close to Saugatuck to the original poster)We usually drive to Mich City and take the Commuter train, but the cost for round trip on the Amtrak is only $54, and it's a MUCH easier ride! Maybe we can meet up with you? Are you on the Pere Marquette? If not, when are you getting in to Union Station? Where are you staying?SO FUNNY that we had the same reasoning for doing the Amtrak instead of the Commuter!chefjeanine said:

However, like I excitedly posted to Jeanine, Several of us are taking the Amtrak from Holland - $54 round trip. You could meet up with us for the ride (it leaves at 8:21 Monday morning) or the train also stops in St. Joseph/Benton Harbor. That's a bit South of Saugatuck.
