travel to the Siouan Conference

[Kathleen D. Shea]

I have to get caught up on reading the Siouan list postings, but I noticed
some people might need rides from the airport or other places.  I've already
told Dave that I'll be happy to help out with rides if you'll let him know.
I live in Lawrence, so it will be convenient for me to do so.

If all of you who are flying in to KCI (that's MCI on your baggage tag) will
just let Dave know your arrival time, he and I will get together on the
drives over and organize things.

Hi all,

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.

All,

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.

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