TRAVEL:

Getting There & Airport

• Closest airport: San Diego International Airport (SAN) — approximately 7 miles (about a 15–20 minute car ride) from Town and Country Resort.

Attendees flying in can take a taxi, rideshare, or shuttle from either airport to the Resort.

While public transportation from the San Diego Airport to the Town & Country Resort is possible, it will require riders to take a bus to downtown San Diego to connect to the Green Line of the San Diego Trolley. Total travel time is around 45 minutes depending on connection waits. Attendees can also get to downtown from either airport via the Chicago Transit Authority's (CTA) "L" train. Take the CTA Blue Line "L" Train from O'Hare or the CTA Orange Line "L" Train from Midway.

PARKING:

• If you are parking at the hotel, you are entitled to discounted parking fee of $20.00 per day. Let the front desk know you are with NACCT when you check in.
