You're welcome, @kaerpediem! So glad to help.

OK - so fly IN and train/bus BACK. The flight in is way cheaper than coming back for some reason. And then you can take a bunch of stuff back without having to check it at the airport. for big $$$.

So funny we will probably meet first up there! If you want to work it out, I will be glad to train/bus back with you. It is a beautiful trip I look forward to already. I'm thinking of leaving a day or two after the fest. 6 days is a l-o-n-g conference. and I feel like I might want to chill a bit before traveling.
