Ralf -
The bus is NOT the way to go. It is dirty, smelly, and full of scary people, at least here in Indy. The train is nice, but with Amtrak's financial woes, service is spotty. When I took the train from Indy to LaCrosse, there were so many delays getting to Chicago, that I missed my connecting train, and I had a three-hour layover time.
If you can't get in with ANYONE coming this way, I will check my schedule and see if I can arrange to come and pick you up and bring you to Indy. I also know a guy that makes frequent trips to Cincinnati, and might be able to talk him into driving you here, but I haven't talked to him yet about it, so don't hold me to that.
