To receive the special conference rate of $119 plus tax (single or double occupancy, including continental breakfast), the hotel must have your reservation by March 1, 2007. It is advisable to make a reservation as soon as possible in order to receive the special rate, which is limited to the first 45 conference guests.

Travel
Easton is reached via Interstate 78 or U.S. Hwy 22. The Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Airport, also known as the Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) is serviced by several major airlines (visit http://www.lvia.org). Trans-Bridge Bus Lines ( http://www.transbridgebus.com/daily.htm) offer service to and from New York City, Newark Airport and New York's JFK Airport. The Greyhound Bus Company provides service to and from Philadelphia (http://www.greyhound.com). Both major cities are about 1½ to 2 hours away by car or bus. For those participants flying in from Europe or other international sites, we recommend Newark Airport, which is much more conveniently located than either JFK New York or Philadelphia. The bus ride from there to downtown Easton takes about an hour and fifteen minutes. For Tourist Information please visit http://www.visitpa.com/visitpa/home.pa or http://www.easton-pa.worldweb.com.
