You could take the red line, that drops you off right by depaul. It'll be about $2.00 for one way, and if you think you might need to transfer that's another .25

You can use this tool to find out which bus would take you where you want to go.

The 151 bus should work.

I got 2 bags of Luggage - it wont be a problem right?? I am really Naive about travelling so I apologize for the dumb questions

Luggage is no problem on the trains. A pain on the bus. You could always take train then taxi.

Thanks for the help

Taxi will be pretty expensive, but the most convenient. Depending on what time of day you arrive, the luggage shouldn't be too problematic on the bus if you don't mind the dirty looks, but I'd stick with the redline train (the el). It's faster and easier to take luggage on.
