http://tropshuttle.com/shuttle-times-prices/          $29/53.  Between airport and casino.
one way/round trip (return to you Brits)


Enjoy our famous Schuylkill Expressway (route 76) on your way out to Valley Forge unless they take you via the Blue Route (route 476)to avoid downtown and then to route 76. The Expressway has a few sites ...The Phila Art Museum, The Waterworks ( just below), and Boathouse Row( just next).  That is if they take you through town ( "center city"). Through Fairmount Park and then ...well it will be new to you as you travel parallel along the west side of the river. The Blue route you can look at traffic or sleep after you pass the airport.

Anyone know a good CHEAP shuttle service from Phili Airport to the Hotel? :)

Tried Tropiano but get no reply?   Any good recommendations?

Much appreciated.

The cash changes hands so fast at the dealer tables they will not know they even took monopoly money until Tuesday. By then you'll be long gone.  :) :) :)

Just please don't burn Jack, he's a friend.  :'(

Well Patrick, I'm pleased you think like that, cos as you know Gerry, a couple of pints not only can he not read, you won't get much sense out of  him either!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D 
I'm obviously a lot more sensible, but quite frankly you'd never know the difference!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I will have a few BFFS  Robin Hood and Arthur figures available. Hint Hint , The Rolls Royce of flat tin figures :)

I've got a few luncheon vouchers, and thirty thousand pounds in Monopoly money, is this worth bringing? :o;D ;D ;D ;D

We will have plenty of time for an "executive session." However, since adult beverages will be involved we will either take no meeting minutes or not be able to read the minutes taken.  :P

The main flats dealer in the US will be there - The Little Tin Soldier. Several other dealers have a limited offering of flats, but LTS is the best source. I also endorse Kevin's comment to see John Jeffries for some really unusual bases suitable for flats. Bring your cash - USD only please!!

I am SOOOOO looking forward to this one and meeting you all.
