Sex 2.0: Cheap travel tips
We are starting to get people registering for Sex 2.0 from all over the country so I wanted to offer some cheap travel ideas for those people planning a trip to D.C. on May 9th.
Air travel. BWI (Baltimore International) often has the cheapest air fares but it is not accessible (like Reagan is) via DC Metro. A great way to get to the hotel from BWI is to shuttle from BWI airport to BWI Amtrak station (free), then MARC train to Union Station ($6), and from there DC Metro to venue ($3).Thanks @DDog for this tip!
Bus NYC->Philly->Baltimore->DC
Amtrak is a great option but a touch pricey. Instead take the China Bus or my personal favorite the Bolt Bus! Bolt is clean, cheap and has FREE WIFI!
Hotels. Our hotel has a great room rate of $94 a night. If you group up with 2-4 people (2 queen beds and some snuggling) you can dramatically save. Join our google groups if you need to find some roomies!
Early Bird registration of course the quickest and easiest way to save is to take part in Early Bird registrations. Fees go up in April! Register today and save. http://sex20con.eventbrite.com
Remember, Sex 2.0 is all day Saturday but many attendees are planning their own satellite events around Sex 2.0. Events are being planned for Friday afternoon, Friday evening, Saturday evening, Saturday night and even two events on Sunday. So make a weekend of it and join us!
