Thanks for all the input guys. I checked on a plane ticket and it looks like I can get a round trip for $207 with taxes. So, I think that is the way that I will probably go. Is anyone flying in to St. Louis on Thursday afternoon that would want to share a ride to the host hotel? I'm not positive on the exact time yet but just wanted to check and see. Also if anyone has any interest in sharing a room I'd be interested in hearing from you.
