Convention Countdown!!!!! The 45th Annual International AJL conference in Seattle is less than 3 weeks away!
A light jacket (not so light if you get chilled easily) and good walking shoes are recommended! Be ready for an incredible hotel experience, perfect blue skies (maybe) and an impressive array of sessions! Are you flying in? Light rail from the airport started up just last year and it's an inexpensive, easy option to get to the hotel. Public Transit- Link Light Rail $2.50 one way http://www.soundtransit.org/x11204.xml If you're willing to walk a little, there is direct link light rail from the airport to downtown. >From the terminal, walk .3 miles NE to the SeaTac/Airport Station. Get on the Central Link to Downtown and exit at the University Station. Then walk .1 miles E toward the hotel. ( The SeaTac / Airport Station is connected to the fourth floor of the Airport Garage. Trains arrive and depart on the platform level of the station. The covered, level walkway to the Airport Terminal is one level down on the mezzanine. The well-lit walkway is separated from the main area of the garage and directional signs point the way to the Main Terminal skybridge. Wheelchair service is available. The Link light rail service runs from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Monday through Saturday and 6 a.m to midnight on Sundays. Trains arrive and depart every 7 1/2 to 15 minutes, depending on the time of day." http://www.portseattle.org/seatac/ground/rail.shtml Don't like that option?? Gray Line Downtown Airporter shuttle stops at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel for $15 one way. It departs every 30 minutes from Sea-Tac. Taxis are about $40 For details, go to jewishlibraries.org, conventions 2010 tab. --- Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: hasaf...@osu.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
