Hello All,
I am coming over to Portland,for Brickfest PDX .On Thursday ,the 12 of
Febuary. And I have a few Questions to ask. Sorry ,if some of them are stupid.
|
No such thing as stupid questions. :-)
| |
1- How far is it from the PDX Airport to the Portland Convention Centre ?
|
It’s 8 miles (12.8 km) from PDX to the OCC. In Joe Meno’s message, he mentions
38 minutes. Actually, when Todd Lehman came out for one of our events last
April, it took him only about 20 minutes to get there from the airport, and this
seems typical from others’ experiences. :-) This was also on a weekday, and
times range anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes commute time. Please visit
http://www.trimet.org to plan your arrvial to the Oregon Convention Center (On
the right hand side of the front page you will see a Trip Planner: Type in “PDX”
in the From field, and “Convention Center” in the To field to get an accurate
descritpion of your itenerary).

2- Is there Public transport ? Train , Bus , etc. ?
|
Absolutely. You will find that Portland has one of the best public
transportation systems in the U.S. We have TRIMET, which is the regional public
transportation system in the upper Willamette Valley of Oregon. It provides
bus, carpool and lightrail transportation means. The Portland Streetcar
(Skoda-Inekon trains) is an affiliated system which runs through downtown,
connecting Portland State University to the Pearl District, which is a beautiful
urban neighborhood. Please visit http://www.portlandstreetcar.org. We also
have one of the most active alternative hybrid transportation systems around
called FlexCar.

3- Does the Red Lion inn have a web site , were I could book accommodation
|
Please visit http://pdx.brickfest.com/hotels.php, and
http://www.redlion.com/WHC/hotels/ShowHotel.asp?ID=187 for more information on
this. :-)
| |
4- What is the weather like that time of year ?
|
Mid February is usally mild to cooler. The rain doesn’t seem to set in until
around March or April. Last February we had very warm days, in the 70s if I
recall correctly.
| |
I was leaving Portland on the Monday morning and arriving at Los Angeles at
9.50am . And then going to California LegoLand.
1- How far is it from LAX Airport to LegoLand ?
2- Public transport ?
3- Is LegoLand Open on this day (16 Feb) ?
|
Please See Ray Silva’s email for So.Cal. transportation info.
It will be fantastic to see you there Teunis! Thank you for coming over to the
States! :-)
