Beth:

The Amtrak station is right downtown. It would be about a 15 minute taxi ride 
to the airport -- probably not that expensive. Going to the airport is out of 
the way since the airport is south of Milwaukee and camp is west about 30 
miles, but that is irrelevant if you can hook up with someone at the airport. 

To anyone who might consider giving Beth a ride in a van: there are two ways to 
get to OSRUI from the airport. Most people take I94 West from the airport, to 
the I894 bypass, which rejoins I94 West, thereby bypassing downtown. However,  
you could also take I94 West through downtown. It is not any further in terms 
of distance just a different route. The train station is right off I94, only a 
slight detour. But you would have to get off the interstate and drive several 
blocks to the train station. 

Hope this helps.

  I am travelling to Hava Nashira as a first-time attendee. I will be arriving 
by train (for too many reasons to list here) on May 28, around 2:30 pm. I have 
scanned a map but am unable to determine the distance from the Amtrak station 
to the Mailwaukke airport. I also have no idea where the camp real;ly is in 
relation to all this (except I know it's about 30+ mils outta town).

  I do not drive a car, so renting one is out. I need to find a way to hook up 
with those folks who are attending HN but will be arriving later in the 
afternoon. I fugure the only way I can share a ride out there is to find a way 
from the train station to the airport (how long that will take I'm unsure -- I 
am SO unfamiliar with anything off the West Coast!)

  I have had little luck in hooking up with anyone. Several of you have 
suggested that I find a way to get to the airport from the train station but 
I'm not sure where to begin with that option, either. Seems like going very far 
out of my to get to another place.

  I really welcome some ideas here. Offers of a shared ride would be even 
better. Of course, I am willing to share costs, though I cannot share driving.

  Thanks for your help --Beth Hamon
