Update: NSCSS Annual Meeting in San Antonio

For those attending the NSCSS Annual Meeting in San Antonio:

I just wanted to communicate one last time before meeting in San Antonio to let you know details airport shuttle/taxi and parking (for those of you bringing/renting cars).

For those who are flying in, the hotel has informed me that taking a taxi (Yellow Cab) from the airport to the Menger is cheaper than taking an airport shuttle because you can share the cost with another rider, if you are not traveling alone. If you have 4, you can ride for the price of 1. Yellow Cab phone # is: (210) 222-2222. If you are traveling alone, then the cost of taking a random airport shuttle or taxi are approximately the same (expect $20 to $22 one way).

For those who are driving in and/or renting a car, here’s info about parking: Valet parking at the Menger is $25 per day, with “In & Out” privileges. As an alternative, you can park at Central Parking at the Rivercenter Mall (< ½ block away from the Menger and very easy to find). At the Rivercenter Mall (Central Parking) you will find covered overnight parking for $18, and also uncovered parking across the street from 4am-4am for $10.00, but there are no “In & Out privileges” at the Rivercenter Mall. In other words, once you park, your car remains there or you loose your spot and have to pay to get back in. Also, please bring some local/regional (your region) artifact or trinket (or something interesting off your shelves collecting dust) for the silent auction. I will be arriving at the Menger on Wednesday. Please call me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you and see you later this week!
