I don't find San Francisco any more expensive than any of the above, in fact I think I usually pay less in San Fran. I usually use Expedia or Hotels.com or some other discount broker, and don't stay at the conference hotels ... ---- Ron Huizen BittWare

One option is to find a hotel near CalTrain or Bart. These are the commuter rail services. You can walk from either to the convention center. I stay with family and do this several times a year. Don't rent a car, parking will kill you. Air tickets are usually available at discount rates if you plan ahead. I pay from $200-$250 from Minneapolis. If I wanted to go, I would predetermine hotels and travel options, and then talk to the powers that be. -- Al Clark Danville Signal Processing, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Purveyors of Fine DSP Hardware and other Cool Stuff Available at http://www.danvillesignal.com
