2011 U.S. CLIVAR Summer Summit
July 18-22, 2011
Woods Hole, MA
Tuesday's session will be joint with the OCB Annual Summer Science Workshop
TRANSPORTATION FROM THE AIRPORT
The Peter Pan Bus Line offers round-trip transportation between Boson's Logan Airport and Falmouth/Woods Hole as well as between Providence's T.F. Green Airport and Falmouth/Woods Hole. This is also called the Bonanza Bus Line.
Plan on a two-hour bus ride from either airport.
For detailed information on schedules and to purchase your bus ticket online, click here: www.peterpanbus.com. Go to the view schedules section and put in your arrival airport and Falmouth.
It is very important to sync up your flights with the bus schedule. Or, if you are driving a rental car, to give yourself adequate time to drive, gas and return the car. Jill will assist you if she is purchasing your ticket.
PLEASE NOTE: A ticket does NOT represent a seat reservation on a given bus. All seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
