National Latin Convention 2008 Information
We will be flying in and out of Chicago. The air fares I looked up for Cincinati were ghastly. Out of Chicago, however, I found an American Airlines flight to LAX on Saturday, August 2 for $192.00 ($202 with taxes). For those who fly both ways, American just doubles the price.
For those taking the train. The price of a Superliner Roomette begins at $396 for each person from Los Angeles to Chicago on the Southwest Chief. We would leave at 6:45 p.m. from Los Angeles or 7:20 p.m. from Fullerton. The bedrooms include six meals. We would arrive in Chicago around 3:30 p.m. Friday, July 25.
I am still checking out hotels, but we will probably spend two nights at the Embassy Suites, 511 North Columbus Drive.
Since we will be flying home out of Chicago, we will not visit the Cincinati Zoo, but will leave early to get to Chicago on time for flights no earlier than 6:00 p.m. I have booked an 8:00 p.m. flight. I am working on where we might stop on that leg of our trip.
Hope this update helps. With gas prices soaring, those of us going to Convention need to move quickly, flying or training/flying. Just in making my reservations, I was astonished as both the rail fare and the air fare changed in a matter of hours.
FESTINA NON LENTE!!!
