Hi,
I had called the hotel and asked about the shuttles. Was told to be sure to
"tell" the shuttle driver which hotel you're going to so that they will
drive you to the right hotel and you will be getting on the right shuttle.
Thanks for the tip about asking about the taxes at the hotel.

I was talking with a friend this week and she had just returned from a 10
day stay at the same Hyatt hotel. She said her husband had caught the
shuttle bus to the Sheraton and walked about a block to the Hyatt. I think
he was unaware of the courtesy shuttles from the bus station in Montreal.
As I understand it there is a central desk where you go for taxi and limo
rides, taxi costs about $30 and limo $50. I suggest if you are on your own,
you hover around that area and look for someone else carrying lots of
luggage, especially with lace logo's, and looking lost so you can share a
ride. She also said that the hotel can claim back your taxes on
accomodation for you and reimburse you by making a tax deduction on your
hotel bill. It is probably worth asking about it before you check out. Not
wishing to upset you all but she got a lot lower rate than we are paying!
She was on a "Friends and Family" package.
I think whichever Arachne gets there first should check out the hotel for
a reasonable luncheon spot and place a notice on the usual IOLI notice board
near convention registration. It is hard to plan without seeing a detailed
itinerary, but I assume Monday lunch will be "on your own". I am not
arriving until Sunday afternoon and have to give a report to the IOLI Board
then. I will be seeing Devon in class the next morning so I can remind her,
but I have been warned not to chat in Ulrike's class.
