Hey everyone!!

I need some help - especially from those of you familiar with Chicagoland. I'm coming into town for the conference on Thursday night and need some help with transportation. The Amtrak train I want to take gets into Joliet at 7:26 - shortly after one Metra leaves and two hours before the next one. My plan was to take the Metra to Tinley Park and then an Uber from the station to the hotel. I don't really want to sit at the station in Joliet for two hours but I've checked with a cab company and Uber and they're kind of pricey for a trip from holier to Tinley Park. I'm getting in too late for a Pace bus and the hotel doesn't have any kind of shuttle. Are there any options I've overlooked? Is there anyone who will be going that way who could give me a lift? :) Any travel advice or input would be appreciated. Feel free to email me off list. 

Thanks so much!!!
