Duke Bus to SIGCSE from Atlanta

If you want to take up Owen's offer on this, please contact him directly:

The Duke Computer Science Education Group has chartered a bus to travel
between the Atlanta airport and the SIGCSE Marriott hotel. The bus will
leave the Atlanta airport on Tuesday, March 3 at 7:00 pm. The return
trip from Chattanooga will leave at 7:00 am Sunday morning.

The bus can accommodate about 50 people, it has wireless Internet
access. Travel guides put the trip at about two hours, but traffic can
have an impact.

We're doing this because there are more options flying in/out of Atlanta
than through to Chattanooga and to share the joy and passion of SIGCSE,
of course.

There will be a SIGCSE greeter at the airport for the bus at about 6:00
pm. If you get in earlier you can hang out until then. I'll be getting
in a little after 5:00 on Sunday.

We will defray the cost, but will charge each person $40/round trip. If
you want the bus in one direction let me know, but we'll still charge
$40. We should have an online credit card setup later this week, but
for now you can 'reserve' a spot by committing via email to me. The bus
will leave at 7:00 pm, we cannot wait around for really late flights.
I'll send my contact information to everyone coming.

Hope to see lots of folks at SIGCSE and a subset on the bus.
===== Later Post ===
The Duke Computer Science Education Group is helping to sponsor and
charter a bus traveling from the Atlanta airport on Tuesday March 3,
7:00 pm to the Chattanooga Marriott. Return to the airport leaves at
7:00 am on Sunday, March 8.

There are other buses from the airport to Chattanooga, but the charge
runs about $37 one way. This bus is $40 round-trip, is just for SIGCSE
attendees, and promises wireless access for the roughly 2 hour trip.
There are rumors that we'll have entertainment on board as well.
