| Q |
 |
Do I need
to bring anything special for the weekend? |
| A |
|
If you plan on
skiing or golfing, you may want to bring your own
equipment, although rentals are available in Santa
Fe. Other than that, bring your imagination, a willingness
to try something new and meet new people, and a
sense of fun. |
| |
| Q |
|
What’s
the best way to get to Santa Fe? |
| A |
|
Santa Fe
has an airport but it serves private planes and
some small commuter airlines. Major air traffic
comes to Albuquerque, about an hour’s drive
away. Amtrak unloads passengers at Lamy, about a
half-hour East of Santa Fe.
If you fly into Albuquerque, you can take a commercial
shuttle to Santa Fe. You can book through Sandia
Shuttle or Santa Fe Shuttle. Click
here for more information.
You won’t need a car at the conference, but
if you plan to stay later or play tourist on your
own, you may want to look into rentals. |
| |
| Q |
|
What will
the weather be like? |
| A |
|
Hard to say. Spring
in Northern New Mexico is unpredictable. The average
temperature in March ranges from a high of 56F to
a low of 25F (13C –4C), and the average precipitation
is 0.9" (this means it might snow, or it might
be in the 60’s). Remember, even though Santa
Fe is in the Southwest, the city sits at 7000' altitude. |
| |
| Q |
|
What should
I wear? |
| A |
|
Layers are your
best bet. Bring a coat, and your walking shoes.
Get comfortable at the Friday hands-on programs.
Think jeans, boots, walking shoes, slacks and sweaters.
Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. |
| |
| Q |
|
What effect
could the altitude have on me? |
| A |
|
Some people notice
nothing. Others may have some fatigue or perhaps
a headache. Be sure to drink lots of water while
you’re here. |
| |
| Q |
|
Can I walk
to the city’s sites from Bishop’s Lodge? |
| A |
|
No, but our program
includes abundant sight seeing. And Bishop’s
Lodge has a shuttle which can take you downtown
to museums and shopping. |
| |
| Q |
|
Do I have
to stay at Bishop’s Lodge? |
| A |
|
No, but
we encourage it since Bishop’s Lodge is our
headquarters and the site of many of the programs
on Friday and our celebration dinner on Saturday.
They are one of Santa Fe’s most beautiful
resorts, and they’ve given us a great rate.
If your searching for other accommodations, the
Santa
Fe link will direct
you to a list produced by the city’s visitor
bureau. |
| |
| Q |
|
My spouse
wants to come along—it that OK? |
| A |
|
By all means.
Or bring a friend. For a guest fee, spouses and
friends can join our members for the tours and hands-on
activities, or participate in the spouse program,
A Guy
Thing, hosted by Don
Strel.
Note:
due to space considerations, only members are allowed
at the Dine Arounds. |
