Amtrak to Michigan

I am considering taking the Amtrak train from Dallas to Grand Rapids, Michigan in May 2009 with my 11 month old son. has anyone ever taken an extended train trip like this that would like to share their thoughts? I figure it will be much easier than flying since he's never flown and will still be breastfeeding. I am finding that taking the train would mean we'll be traveling throughout the night so I'll need a cabin for sleeping. any thoughts on how to save money on the train ticket? a flight is about $400 and the train is $600.

Baby Carrier, Sling or Ergo?

I have a very active 2.5 year old son and am expecting baby #2 in mid-October. I'm thinking that I will need and make good use of a baby carrier, sling or Ergo carrier. Can anyone give me their feedback with which type(s) of gear they used: did you prefer a carrier vs. sling, for example? Any advice on what types to look for or what to avoid?
