marinelife · 09/10/2007, 10:16 PM

I did my online check in tonight, everything is good to go, I did see that it said High Speed internet charges may apply. Is that true or is there free wireless access in the hotel.

Misled · 09/11/2007, 05:43 AM

Just so you know, you might want to bring a jacket. Saturday's high is mid 60's and the low is mid 40's.

niko5 · 09/11/2007, 05:56 AM

No, there is free wireless in the hotel. I wonder if it is not a general disclaimer put in because not all Radisson's have free wireless.

sounds great guys, I would guess that is a general statement but to cover themselves, but thanks for looking

Albright · 09/11/2007, 09:36 AM

Steven,

I submitted my two registrations yesterday after paying via paypal but I have not yet heard anything back. My paypal address differs from the address used for registration as the paypal address is no longer a valid email.

Is there someone I should contact or any further info that is needed?

Thanks!

one more question. i got a room at the holiday (sp?) inn. how far of a drive is it from there to the conference center and is there parking there. or is there a bus to take or something.

melev · 09/11/2007, 01:40 PM

I'm sure someone will correct me, but I think I heard that was 1/4 mile away. A brief walk, at that.

Andrew · 09/11/2007, 01:45 PM

According to google maps ( satalite view ) there's a lot of parking around the hotel and converence area.

SJGreene · 09/11/2007, 02:08 PM

The Holiday Inn is about 1.5 to 2 miles from the conference center, at least according to mapquest.

For parking, my understanding is that the Radisson and Expo Mart are right by a big mall, which has plenty of parking.

Oh yeah, only 2.5 more days to MACNA!!!!

There is a shuttle that will run from the Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn to the Radisson and back.

It is about a mile away and the road is pretty busy. I would not feel comfortable walking it.

Steven Pro · 09/11/2007, 02:28 PM

Parking everywhere is free!

purebullet417 · 09/11/2007, 06:32 PM

guess well eaither drive over and park or take the shuttle

Misled · 09/11/2007, 09:24 PM

Ok folks, we're getting down to the wire. People will begin trickling in starting tomorrow. I will be having my first meet with a fellow RC member from out of my area tomorrow.

Pittsburgh may never be the same!!!!!!

marinelife · 09/11/2007, 09:34 PM

So was an age limit ever set, my daughter is 4 and I did not purchase her a pass for anything. Most likely she would only be going to the trade show a few times. I figure I will buy her the Trade Show Only pass once there. Is this right or are some ages free.

original-reefland · 09/11/2007, 09:35 PM

Note to self - don't forget laptop power cord this time.

marinelife · 09/11/2007, 09:39 PM
