Rick Thanks for the info. No latent ground-sweller here, but a tried and true go-with-the-flow-er. Rhonda Schuller >>> [log in to unmask] 03/12/00 06:47pm >>> Hi, You are all being very calmly patient. Thank you for your kind indulgence. The party boat will leave Granville Island for Bowen Island at 4:30 p.m. If you book a flight scheduled to arrive in Vancouver airport by 2 p.m., you should be able to arrive at the dock relaxed and unworried. SFU Conference Services has found several moderately priced hotels for those of you who want to arrive a day or more early (or leave a day or more late). Granville Island Hotel is quoting is $120 a night. In the downtown core the Barclay on Robson quoting $75/night. And, of course, there is always the Sylvia (on English Bay near Stanley Park), the Coast Plaza (also in the West End), and the YWCA (downtown). On the way back, we are leaning toward a relaxed schedule that would include lunch at Bowen Island and get you back to downtown Vancouver (where you can get a shuttle to the airport) also by 4:30 p.m. Which means your flight should depart at or after 6:30 p.m. Option B, which we will check out if there is a groundswell, would end the conference with an 11 a.m. brunch and get you to downtown Vancouver by 1:30 p.m. Groundswellers, if you're out there, please speak up now.
