Transportation
To/From Dayton
Generally each participant needs to come up with their own travel arrangements to the Dayton area. Last year, Will and I flew together, Ken flew into Cleveland on a dirt cheap ticket and rented a car and drove, Max and Bob flew on their own, and James drove there as part of a family vacation. And it all worked out quite nicely.
I'll make my own fly/drive decision come late February or March, as their is usually someone else interested in renting a trailer and driving up and maybe getting a flea market spot, and most of the time we decide not to. If I decide to drive, you're welcome to ride/drive along and just share the gas. If I decide to fly I'm willing to make the reservations, you'll save on checked bag fees if you fly with me.
Rental Car
Usually split among those who share a car. I usually rent one and donate a few free days, if we have more than a few people we will need two vehicles.
Hotel Arrangements
I have four rooms booked at Holiday Inn Express-Dayton North - Tipp City, 1100 West Main Street, Tipp City, Ohio. Each room has two queen beds. I'm assuming two people sharing a room, unless your really friendly, which I'm not.
Each room, including taxes, is $600 for the weekend, $300/each for double occupancy.
I continuously look for better deals, or similar pricing at extended-stay locations for Holiday Inn and Marriott properties. A few years ago I was able to get two bedroom suites at a Marriott Residence Inn near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, but I haven't been able to grab any availability there in four years.
Hamvention Parking
Don't bother buying the bus pass! Nearby parking is $20/vehicle in a private yard that I have used for the past 11 years. It's nice and close!
