Need help getting to ORD early in the morning. Have a 0600 international flight out and don't really want t o go and spend the night at the airport or get a hotel for a few hours. Van Galder's last ride is around 7PM getting into ORD about 9PM. Long before my flight. Next one in the morn is around 3am but not soon enough for my checkin and flight. I would need to leave MSN around 0200 to make it, maybe even 0130. Any ideas? I thought there was a different bus company besides van Glader, but their schedule maynot be any better. Thanks travelers
