HOPE will have activities in two locations according to the following agenda. It is suggested that you can taxi (sharing a ride with others is very cost effective and easy) from your hotel to one of the locations and (perhaps) be within walking distance of the other. They are about a 15 minute drive apart.

________I have found it cost-effective to check Priceline, Expedia, or Hotwire using the address of the location you'd like to be near. Likely there is a hotel in convenient proximity with rooms for a reasonable price -- especially if you arrange to share a room. Be sure to post a comment to let others know what you have found!
