Hey guys I will be flying into ORD. (Forgot to ask if another airport was closer.)
My flight details for this part of the trip are as follows:
Depart: AA3991 BWI Baltimore Feb 19, 2010 11:30 AM
Arrive: ORD Chicago Feb 19, 2010 12:45 PM
Depart: AA303 ORD Chicago Feb 22, 2010 09:05 AM
Arrive: DFW Feb 22, 2010 11:35 AM
I have only flown thru Chicago so never really spent any time there. The show is costing a lot of money with the booth and the ticket to get there so if I can save on taxi/rental car and hotel expenses that would help tremendously!
If we can work out an airport pickup and dropoff (waiting time does not matter as I live in airports anyway) that would be great. (Seriously I can be dropped off super early on Monday if needed and I can be picked up late on Friday if needed. Just need to have about 1.5 hrs to set up the booth before the show opens.) If I can manage to stay with someone(s) and get to the show before it starts each day that would be perfect. I can pack light so I can stay different places if needed. (Of course I travel with our tradeshow stuff so that is not light but I only need 3 sets of clothes and coat and I'm covered!)
I am excited to join you all, see my good friends from SD locally and FINALLY do this part of the country! :coo1:
Hi Kamala: some answers to your question.
1) "Forgot to ask if another airport was closer". You can't find anything that is closer
. The convention center is right next to the airport exit. From the terminal to the convention center is about 2 miles, so even you have to take a taxi, it shouldn't be too expensive.
2) "I can be picked up late on Friday if needed". Your flight into Chicago is around 1 pm. Once you are landed, you probably want to go directly to the convention center to set up, since the exhibition starts at 5 pm Friday. (OK, you may want to eat lunch first.
)
3) I did not see "singledivers" on the exhibitor list. Which booth did you get?

I maybe able to take Friday PM off, so I may help a few hours on Friday too. I will send my contact info to your email address in a few minute.
Once again, looking forward to the show and the HH. (We need a good HH since we have been suffering the winter blue for the last 2 months).
