[Lnc-business] Inexpensive ground transportation - LNC Session in Phoenix

[Roland Riemers]

For those who dislike mingling with the common peons,  there is a AAA Shuttle that takes us to the resort for $25 for 4 passengers.    Me and wife get into airport via Delta at 11:37 a.m. Friday.  And will return to the airport Sunday to pick up a rental car.   If anyone wants to share a shuttle feel free to give me a call at 701-317-1803.
In regards to a rental car, if you rent one Friday, it is going cost you much more then on Sunday,  which we are doing so we can do some sight seeing for a few days.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Directions:


1.  When you arrive at the airport in Phoenix, follow the signs to the Sky Train station.

2.  Sky Train is free.  Look for a train that is heading towards 44th Street.  Take that train to the 44th Street/Washington station.

3.  After you get to that station, take the pedestrian bridge to the Valley Metro Rail station (44th St./ Washington station).

4.  Find the ticket vending machine.  Purchase an "All-Day Pass" for $4.  Having 4 one-dollar bills will help.

5.  Board a train that says "Mesa Drive" or "Sycamore".   Get off at the very next stop  ("Priest Drive").

6.  Find the bus platforms.  Look for Route 56.  Get on a bus heading towards "Ray and 46th"  (might be "Ray and 48th")

      Schedule:  http://routes.valleymetro.org/timetables/transit_route/615?type=2


7.  In about 13 minutes you will see a large mall on the right hand side of the road (Arizona Mills).  When the bus reaches about the "3/4 mark" of that mall, make a stop request.

8.  Get off at the stop that is about 20 feet past Baseline Road.  Walk back to Baseline Road, and turn left.  You are only about a half mile from the hotel at this point.

9.  Walk under the overpass for the Interstate.  You should start seeing the Arizona Grand Resort on your left.  Make a left onto the main driveway, and go to the left when you get to the "traffic circle."  The lobby is maybe 500 feet down that driveway (technically it is Arizona Grand Parkway).

On your way back to the airport you might have to buy your All Day Pass on the bus, which costs an extra $2.  Also, the bus stop on Priest Drive for Northbound buses is probably not exactly across the street from the stop you used on Friday, but I am sure you can find it.  The light rail train should say "Montebello".
