[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1305909, member: 21194"] I drove up yesterday morning and found the Convention Center okay (with a little help from Google maps), but parking was another story. I drove around in circles and finally found a place that would let me park for $15.00. I thought that was kinda high, but didn't know what else to do, so I paid it. That was all fine and good until it got time to leave there and head to the Holiday Inn Express 10 miles away where I had a reservation. That poor lady on my phone was getting pretty frustrated with me, but after making several wrong turns and trying to check in to the wrong hotel I finally got to the right place. Then this morning I got to thinking that I needed a new plan. I had seen a shuttle van parked in front of the hotel, so I asked the young lady at the reception desk about it. She explained to me that it only goes to the airport and the hospital, and suggested I take a taxi. She even said she could call for me, and when I asked her about what it would cost she said probably less than $20.00. I had been hoping it would be less, but I couldn't face that traffic again, so when I got ready to go I asked her to go ahead and call. I was expecting a yellow cab like I've seen on TV, but a little fellow showed up with a plain white passenger van. I suspect he might be the desk clerk's uncle or something, and he didn't habla englais real well, but that's fine. Anyway, he got me where I needed to go and gave me his business card as I was getting out of the van. Told me to call him when I got ready to go back to the hotel and he'd come get me, and he charged me considerably less than $20.00 for the trip. And he's going to pick me up tomorrow at 7:00am, so it looks like I'm all taken care of. I've always heard that God takes care of fools and drunks, so I've got double coverage. And no, I didn't get a beer before the meeting, but I sure got some after it was over (which is one more reason I'm glad I didn't have to drive back to the hotel). [/QUOTE]
