Where are you taking Caltrain from? SF? If so it is easier to take SamTrans. From downtown SF take the Route 292 or 397. It should stop right in front of the hotel on S Airport Blvd. You can check schedules at http://www.samtrans.org

340 Lover,
I'd pick you up-but I help set and run the show,,so I'm trapped inside-what about putting your own thread on the correct forum here-towards people going to the show- and maybe you could find a quick ride from someone going to the show..just a thought

OK Patrick, here is how you do it. Take CalTrain to Millbrae station. Walk one block up to Murchison and El Camino and catch the SamTrans 397 bus. It will take you right to the hotel.

Oops, that is a new route, and did not realize that it was a night only bus, OK now this one should work. Take Caltrain to Broadway in Burlingame (the stop before Milbrae) and transfer to the 292 bus. It runs every 30 minutes during the DAY on Saturday.

Oh and speaking of diecast, look for the new just released Herpa Aloha B737-700. It has my photo on the box! If you purchase one, bring it to my table and I will autograph it for you, free of charge!

That's right- FlyGGA has his Aloha 737 photo on the box cover----!!
I'll be sure and announce it on the PA system after the room fills up........
Yes---there are usually plenty of Diecast modelers.
Get there early- anybody who looks me up at the door before the show(9am) and asks for the 'SJC Alien" will get a special prize. YOU MUST MENTION you saw this on Airliners.net
