Local Information:

Accommodations: Reservations will be made for all participants at Quality Hotel Harbourview.

Airport Transportation: A taxi to the hotel should cost anywhere from $15 to $25. On arrival you can go to Ground Transportation Desk and ask for Coop Taxi (this company will help us with daily transportation). You may also call 709-753-5100. Then wait outside for taxi and when the taxi arrives request a ride to Quality Inn. One can also go by City Wide Taxi but those charge much more ($20 per person +$2.50 for additional passenger).

Local transportation: We will organize the delivery of people from the hotel to MUN. The price of taxi from Quality Inn to Math Building on Elizabeth Avenue (you may also say Arts and Administration building on Elizabeth avenue) is $11 - 12. One may also use metrobus, but the buses are rare, the routs are long and you do not save much, especially if 2 - 4 people travel together. The web site of metrobus is here.

The arranged minivans for the conference will depart from Quality Hotel at 2:30 p.m., Friday, January 16, 2009. The map of St. John's campus of MUN is available here.

Conference Dinner & Restaurants: Conference dinner will be on Saturday at 6:30 - 7 p.m. We will meet in the lobby of Quality Hotel. There will be a contribution from the Organizing Committee towards the cost of this dinner. Most restaurants are on Water Street and Duckworth Street (both start near Quality in and go westwards, for details see the guide. A nice place to go on Friday night is a rather new museum The Rooms with a great St. John's Harbour view. It has an art gallery and a restaurant.
