Vance, if the timing works out for a ride from PBI, that would be great. I would owe you dinner at a minimum. If it doesn't fit your schedule, I still appreciate your willingness. Steve McQueen and I are trying to coordinate our arrival times. At the moment I expect to land at 3:30 p.m.

I would tell you about alligators from my days in Kansas, but if I did, you'd never believe anything I say again.

I can look into limo services if you like. I could also make the run to PBIA if everyone is getting in at some similar time. Probably stuff four guys into the Explorer and if need be, could bring a second car and driver for more. Then some of the group would only need a local car. In fact, there would be no problem for Jon or someone to use one of my cars (the Explorer, I suppose, would make the most sense). I can arrange other transport for myself during the conference without problem and that would save some bucks for a few who might be on a tight budget.

Vance, thanks for the info. It's handy to have someone who's familiar with the local area.

I'm finding car rental rates about double what I'm used to. Do you know of any good alternatives for transportation to and from the airport? I checked with the hotel and they aren't aware of any ground shuttle services?

I'm about to be unavailable for several hours, but will check back.

Thanks again,

Jim

Mapquest is pretty close and you DO have to get all the way to the beach on the Ft. Pierce end. If the rental charges don't eat up the $100, I'd take advantage of it. If it comes out even, PBIA is best as it has direct access from the parking lot to I-95 north, which you will be taking to St. Lucie County. It isn't bad either way.

Truthfully, you'll get a little more of that Africa veldt view coming south from Orlando and not so much coming north from PBIA. I'm used to it, but if you don't get down here much, then the scenic route might tickle your fancy. Most everyone likes to peer around and say, "Wow, it's so flat!!!!" And it isn't Kansas, for sure. I mean, they don't have too many Alligator Crossing signs in Kansas, do they?

Thanks, Vance. I had PB as 1 hour 10 minutes per Mapquest and ORL as 1 hr 55 min, but the airfare is about $100 cheaper into Orlando. Still researching it.

Orlando is 2 hours away from Ft. Pierce. PBIA is about 45 minutes.

Steve, I had planned to fly into Orlando and rent a car. I had hoped to find several people to share the rental car. I'd be interested in sharing a room to cut costs.

I'll check Palm Beach again to see if that would work as well. Previous checks had shown much cheaper fares into Orlando.

Happy Father’s Day!

I am looking at getting my airline tickets taken care of for the convention. It looks to me that the Palm Beach airport might be the most convenient. I was curious to hear from others flying in as to which airport they chose? I was also curious to see if someone wants to share a room to save money.

Thanks,

Steve McQueen
