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

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!
