You will have to
handle air transportation (if any) and the hotel rooms. We have a large block of
rooms reserved in Los Angeles. Maps to the Oakland hotel and
the Oakland Jack London Square AMTRAK
station are below. Our train cars will be at the extreme North end of
the station platform. Oakland Parking -- For locals driving to Amtrak at Jack London Square, parking is right next door to the train station. The large garage is at 255 Second Street. Parking is $15 per day. So the train trip parking will cost $45. Their phone is 510-828-4909. The Amtrak station is at 255 Second Street. You do not need an Amtrak ticket. Out of town guests will likely need to come in on Thursday, July 27, since we will be boarding the train at t 8:30 AM Friday morning. And the train doesn't return until Sunday, July 30, at 9:24 PM in the evening so it will be hard to make an air connection. And that assumes the train is ontime. Oakland Hotel -- Waterfront Hotel, 10 Washington Street, Oakland, CA -- Phone (510) 836-3800 -- Dial 1 and reach Mary Ellen from 8 AM to 3 PM on weekdays. The Waterfront Hotel is a block from Jack London Square and four blocks from the Amtrak station platform.

Out-of-towners need to fly into Oakland or SFO on Thursday, July 27, as the train boards at 8:45 AM Friday. Flying out on Sunday evening is problematic as the train's scheduled arrival in Oakland is 9:24 PM and it will take 30 minutes to get to the Oakland airport and 45 minutes to SFO. |
