No room at the inn

[Matt Lawrence]

I just called the conference hotel and was told that they are completely
booked on Thursday and Friday nights. Any suggestions?

Also, will there be wireless access at the convention? How about
recommendations for transport to and from the airport?

It's not what I know that counts, it's what I can remember in time to use.

Hi --

I just called the conference hotel and was told that they are completely
booked on Thursday and Friday nights. Any suggestions?

Here's a list of hotels near the conference facility:

http://www.dullesexpo.com/guestinfo/hotelinfo/index.htm

Of those, I was told that the Homestead and Sierra ones are the
closest. A number of us will have cars, so that we should be able to
shuttle people around pretty efficiently.

Also, will there be wireless access at the convention? How about
recommendations for transport to and from the airport?

As far as I know there is no wireless. The conference hotel has a free
airport shuttle; the estimate for taxis is $20 (as per the hotel
website).

I'll be able to transport people around as well if anyone needs it.

We've got a couple of extra WAPs at the house, if that helps. We'd
still need something to plug them in to though.

I should clarify: that's Dulles airport, not BWI.

There's also Reagan (aka National) in the area, but you can take the
metro to the Dunn-Loring stop, then take a cab from there. There are=20
also a couple of shuttles that run between Dulles and Reagan, and
between Dulles and the metro. Here's one that costs $8 one-way, and $14
round-trip:

If anyone else is coming from BWI, I posted some information to the list
earlier today, you can read it here:

Hope this helps...
