Cohousing-L Mailing List: cheap conference nonstops from Sacramento,Salt Lake

[Raines Cohen (rc2-coho-L]

I just spotted a couple of deals that might make it easier for people to 
attend the National Cohousing conference in Boulder next month: A 2-day 
sale on Frontier Airlines, with nonstops from Sacramento and Salt Lake 
City to Denver, priced at $109 and $99 respectively.

Combine this with the member discount and inexpensive dorm or youth 
hostel accomodations in Boulder, and you've got big savings! When I was 
fare-shopping last week, $150 each way was the best I found from SF and 
nearby airports.

It's worth coming early for the pre-conference (Friday) workshops alone: 
some of these would cost you far more per person to get these top-notch 
community and development professionals out to your area.

The conference brochure and web page...

... recommends Denver SuperShuttle:

however I got there a couple of years ago quite inexpensively on comfy 
SkyRide bus (route AB) from DIA, operated by RTD:

Fare $10, travel time a little more than an hour. Departures about 
hourly, usually 20 to 35 past the hour. Schedule (scroll down to see FROM 
the airport)

Please pass the word to anyone in communities in the Salt Lake/Sacramento 
extended areas... it would be great to see more folks from new 
communities like Pleasant Hill and the nearing-move-in Cotati Coho.

(who might fly there, thanks to this deal, and take Amtrak coming back - 
it's a beautiful ride, and, if you book online at tickets.amtrak.com and 
use discount code H315, it's even cheaper, just $60.75, without all the 
hassles of airports, and a connecting bus from Boulder if you want it)
