Location: Pewaukee, WI | I just read the Announcement, and have a question for those who've gone before: can I get by without a rental car? Is transportation to the factory tour provided/available? If I don't need a rental I can save $$$.
Thanks!

You can take the Hotel Shuttle to the hotel,
and the Ovation Shuttle(s) will get you to/from the Factory/Jam and back. |

Figures. It's cheaper to fly 3000 miles from PDX to Boston than it is to fly 120 miles from Boston to New Hartford. Here's an even sadder example... it's cheaper to fly Delta from PDX via JFK to Boston than it is to fly the same first leg from PDX to JFK!
I bit the bullet and went with the United redeye, arriving in BDL at 9-something AM Thursday and departing at 5-something Saturday PM. Anybody got anything fun to do all day Thursday?
Prof, I won't need a ride from Boston afterall, thanks again for the offer! |

Flying is easy!
It's the Takeoff and the Landings that are critical!
Last Tour I took Red Eyes and had cool interesting people to sit by and talk to. Saw the Northern Lights and met a Dance Troop of butch young ladies from Canada.
Life is an adventure! |

Location: Upper Left USA | I suggest y'all do what I did last year.
Red Eye Wed. night arrive in CT Thur morning. Go to Homewood Suites and get room, greet play with the early crowd.
Thur night jam, greet, shower and bed at 2 a.m.
Fri B'fast, Tour, Jam, etc - sleep at 2 a.m.
Sat jam in Lobby - Al planned some cool stuff - jam - get taken to a party where Ed has a PHENOMENAL collection of O's, A's and H's!
Sunday a.m. take plane out of Dodge. Pick up souvenirs at Airport. Come home, take out the trash, etc.
BTW - The best sounding Adamas of the whole tour would surprise all of you. It's a roughed in Proto in CT. |
