I don't know how many of you might have received this via email but, for any of you that have not here is what has been arranged: The Grand Rapids Convention Bureau has made arrangements for shuttle service between the Gerald R. Ford International Airport and the Amway Grand Hotel. Shuttle days and hours are: Tuesday, July 14 from 9 a.m. - Midnight Sunday, July 19 from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. The cost is $25 round trip or $15 one way payable when you board the bus. Upon your arrival at the airport, please go to the airport Information Desk in the baggage claim area for directions to the shuttle. A sign will be posted for PTG convention attendees. To make a reservation, please email your name, cell number, airline and flight number to: Tim Nelson at TNelson at meetgrandrapids.com. (Reservations are not necessary but will help in making sure that a shuttle is available.) Please Note: The shuttle drivers will ask about return trip times. If necessary, the CVB may extend return shuttle times and that information will be posted at the PTG Registration Desk. The best way to get this changed is for everyone to reserve a ride ahead of time. Thank you. For those of you arriving at other times.
