Hi all,<br><br>There are no meals included with the room rates, so yes, it would be a good idea to have a few cars available for transport to and from restaurants. I'm also willing to make a trip to KCI and back (my car can hold up to three besides myself). I'm told we may have KU vans available on Sunday afternoon (I may even drive one) for airport trips, but these are provided by CoLang and it may depend on how many CoLang attendees are arriving Sunday p.m., so I can't guarantee anything yet.<br>

I'd certainly be willing to make a run to and from KCI to pick up people arriving/leaving to or from the Conference. Unfortunately, there's really only me and Dave. Perhaps he would be willing to provide some transport also if some of you would chip in and fill up his gas tank (no small expense nowadays). Otherwise, it certainly wouldn't hurt to have at least a few people with vehicles at the meeting; most of the decent restaurants for lunch and dinner are off-campus. I'm not sure how many meals are included with rent at the dorms. Dave probably knows.<br>

I am certainly interested in some kind of car pool/split taxi arrangement<br>
to get from the airport to campus, but I don't have my travel plans yet.<br>
It seems silly to rent a car only to have it sit in a parking lot for the<br>
duration of the conference.<br>
