  1. Thanks for that, Bob! Absolutely. I admire folks like him who accept such large challenges as heading a major convention! Gene K
  2. Thanks Eric and Dick. I did carefully check the Convention website, and also searched for threads/posts about transportation ... hence my frustration at not finding an answer to what should be a major topic on the Convention website. The only hotel I checked was Hampton Inn since Embassy Suites and Courtyard are sold out. They have no shuttle, but they recommended Uber, Cab or a limo service. Gene K EDIT: Scott Hackney, Convention Chairman, replied to my inquiry: "We are working on it. I'm hoping to have an airport shuttle contract in place in the next two weeks".
  3. Mark, I'm pretty frustrated ... did you find a thread about the convention? In that regard, see anything about transportation between the convention site and airport? Thanks, Gene K
  4. Thanks, Robert. Will there not be a "shipping station" on site at the Convention? It would be great to have on-site FEDEX/ USPS/ UPS package pickups. In that regard, if packaging materials were on hand, and online access available to get postage, it would be possible to mail packages home. Gene K
  5. Too many things to take care of at home, unfortunately. Gene K
  6. I have a rental car from Norfolk International (ORF), pick up on Wednesday 6 Aug at 1100 and return by 1500 on Friday 8 Aug, costing $130. Anyone want to share the ride/cost, either or both ways? Gene K
  7. Thanks - I should have done my homework! Surely someone must have posted something about this before! Gene K
  8. Thanks, Tom, but I would think that most arrivals, by far, would/will be to Norfolk (ORF). Understandable - that would have been over and above. I was just hopeful there was a reasonable way, but it appears not. Close to $60 one way is ... well, over-the-top, and something I hadn't considered in my planning. If I could cancel my airline ticket without penalty, I would (and drive). In that regard, I think it would be helpful to include a note to potential attendees up front, -- and that should a notice be a recommendation for future Nationals! Gene K
  9. There appear to be no hotel shuttles to/from the Norfolk Airport. The Embassy Suites front desk recommended Yellow Cab (?), and looking up shuttle services brings up the cheapest cost of $56 - ONE WAY!!! Is there a reasonable alternative? Gene K
