Transportation and Directions

There will be a school bus leaving The Hampton Inn for The Dream Away Lodge at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday May 22. It will return to the hotel at the end of the reception (approximately 11:30-midnight). The bus holds 45 and will be first come, first serve (we would like to rent a whole fleet for you guys, but alas...).

But don't fret. If this schedule doesn't work for you, there are cabs that you can catch and shuttles that you can rent. Plus, the powers that be at The Dream Away have laid out VERY explicit directions for those of you who are driving. Please be sure you follow them, and be careful! The road to the Dream Away goes up a mountain. There are some sharp turns. Here's the link to the directions page: DIRECTIONS (this should also be handy for those of you driving in on the day of). Please check these. According to the Dream Away, "Never think your gps is smarter than you - it doesn't know landmarks or shortcuts, and it thinks that Old Washington Mtn Rd is still a road! If you blindly trust that your gps is the smartest one in the room, or if you'd like to test your gps against the real world take these directions as backup."

The address for the Dream Away Lodge is: 1342 County Road, Beckett, MA, 01223

If you driving from Lenox (where the hotels are), follow the Lee directions on the Dream Away site (Jeremy and I will do a drive from the hotel to the venue soon, and post step by step directions). Be sure you follow these directions EXPLICITLY. When they say hard left, they mean HARD LEFT!
