Sweet, I'll see you there. I didn't see you at RAP though? Maybe next year?

Jaime and I (Chris) will be flying from New Orleans to Pittsburgh early Friday morning to arrive around noon. We will be staying at the Holiday Inn suggested on the Macna site, as we were late to plan and didn't get in in time to get a Raddison room. This will be our second Macna. I can't wait! The only part I am worried about is not having a car and having to rely on the shuttles to and from Macna and the Airport.

A group of four are renting a car for the weekend, and dividing that equally.

I will be there, my first. I bought a ticket when they first came available, told the wife we are going to Pittsburgh Sept 14 to visit the kids (we have two at Pitt) I am so broke! Should be a good time any way.

Marc,

You're such a tease. I am proud.

 

[melev]

Tease or no tease - it doesn't make a difference to me as long as you show up. I've been promoting MACNA every year since 2002 because it is such a blast. And once people go, they finally understand why it is so much fun and make plans not to miss the next one.

Just a heads up, the shuttle to and from the airport is not free. It is a third party fee based service. Since parking is free at all the hotels and because you can generally get good car rental rates from the many companies that are out by the airport, it could very well be cheaper and more convenient to rent a car while you are here.

Yea, I figured as much on the shuttle to and from the airport. I guess I will check on rental cars.

BUMP

OK, for another place to visit, this is a pic of one of the few inclines left in the world. Called the Duquesne Incline it goes from the south side by Station Square to the top of Mount Washington. At the top there are overlooks for one of the best views of the city available.

 

[Jeffrey Porter]

I guess i'll be the only crazy person coming from Bermuda then.

 

[melev]

Jesse, I rode one of those when I was in Switzerland. It really is a neat experience. Only trouble for me is that no matter what neat things the city has to offer, I'm too busy hanging out at the conference to see anything more than daylight when glancing out some windows.

 

[Misled]

Yea Marc, I figured that. I know a few are bringing family, and some of the loungers don't have the attention span to stay in one place for too long!
