TRANSPORTATION TO/FROM THE AIRPORT
Due to various logistical and legal reasons, we cannot have volunteers pick people up at the airport, bus stations, or train depots. Instead, we have opted to adopt the system used by AmberCon Northwest. Under this system, if you want to share a ride to or from the hotel with other attendees, e-mail your mode of transportation (air, train, bus), your airline (if flying) and your arrival/departure time to rides@ambercon.com by April 9, 2009. Shortly before the Con, you will be given the names and e-mail addresses of those attendees (if any) who are arriving or departing close to the same time as you are. You can then coordinate with each other where you want to meet and which transportation option you will share.
