Need Help
Hey,
Sorry if this isn't an appropriate place; I'm a little new to all this. I'm flying in on Thursday, and since it took me a while to get enough funds my hotel is about 22 minutes from the convention center. I figure someone else has to be out there in the middle of nowhere with me, and I was wondering if anyone had transportation figured out?
I could chip in for gas, or go dutch on a taxi; I just can't afford to take a taxi everyday, and I don't know Philadelphia well enough to take the public transportation. Please let me know if anyone can help.

Hi Meghan,
I'm in the same boat. I'm right by the airport and I'm going to call the hotel today to find out about the trains. I've been told that the train is the best bet.
Take care,
Terri

Hi, Meghan.
Ask at your hotel where the nearest train station is. The convention center and Marriott Hotel are right at the Reading train station. Hope you have a wonderful time at the conference. The program is bursting with speakers and sessions.
Best/ Carol
