Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Convention Question

Hi James,

The big airport in the region is Portland International Airport (PDX).

The closest air port is Hillsboro Airport but it isn't much more then
a private airport with a few comercial flights.

If you are planning to stay at the Merriot where the convention is going
to be you will have to take MAX from PDX to a local station. Then the 
Merriot van will pick you up. 

The Merriot van will pick you up from the Hillsboro airport. However expect the
Hillsboro airport to be VERY busy on that weekend. The Rose
Festival Air Show will be going on that weekend. Thunderbirds will
be flying on Saturday. See http://www.rosefestival.org/airshow.htm for
more info.

Regards,
Ray
