RE: [T2committee] TRB T2 Committee Midyear Meeting Hotels
Greetings:
I
would also add that the Inn on the Square in Falmouth is quite nice as
well; however, you will definitely need a car to get around. Also, the
Fed. gov't rate is $66 for this time of year. The Red Horse Inn was booked
for our meeting nights, and the Inn on the Square would only give me a rate of
$117. Happy hunting.
Dear Friends

I would add to Barbara Harder's note -
The Sands of Time
and the Nautilus are the closest lodgings to the TRB conference center (about
5 minutes away by automobile). Both places are adequate, but fairly
old. It is an easy walk from these motels into the village of Woods Hole
(for dinner, or to take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard).
The
lodgings in Falmouth are all about 15 minutes distant (by car) from the TRB
center. Falmouth is a larger village than Woods Hole, with more
restaurant choices, etc. I recommend the Coonamessett Inn in Falmouth as
a nice place to stay (508) 548-2300. It is about four blocks from
downtown Falmouth.
The food served at the Jonsson Center is
excellent. Don't skip the breakfasts. The view of the harbor from
the main building is spectacular.
Consider staying an extra day
so you can visit Martha's Vineyard. You won't need a car on the
island. There are small tour buses available where the ferry docks that
will take you around the island. You can get off and back on the bus at
a variety of stops. Plan to have lunch in Edgartown.
To get there
by airplane you can fly either to Boston or Providence, RI. Driving time
to Woods Hole is about the same from both airports (allow an hour or two,
depending on time of day). Personally, I prefer Providence Airport,
because getting out of Boston's Logan Airport and through downtown Boston can
be a major hassle.

Hello All,
If you decide to
make reservations at the Sands of Time -- request the "Harbor House" it has
much nicer rooms than the motel units.

Barbara Harder
