Travel
Eagle Ridge Resort is located in the
heart of the Galena Territory, just 6 miles east of Galena, Illinois, on Route
20. It is convenient to major
highways from all directions.
Daily air service to and from
Chicago and Minneapolis is available at Dubuque Regional Airport, 30 miles from
Eagle Ridge. Rental cars are
available at the airport or transportation by Inn vehicle can be arranged. Contact the Resort at 815-777-2444 to
make transportation arrangements if required.
There
is no public transportation from the O'Hare International Airport to Eagle
Ridge.
We are
planning to organize a chartered bus between O'Hare International Airport and
the Resort in Galena. The trip
will take about three (3) hours. The bus will leave the airport at 6:00 p.m. on
Monday, May 26, 2008, from the O'Hare Hilton Hotel which is located in front of
Terminal 2.
Since
the Hilton is not located close to the International Terminal (Terminal 5), if
you arrive on an international flight we suggest that you take the Hilton
shuttle bus from the International Terminal to the Hotel. Once you have collected your luggage,
please use the Hilton courtesy telephone and tell them you would like a ride to
the Hotel. They will come and pick
you up at Terminal 5 and take you to the Hotel where you will see a bus parked
with a sign stating "HCP08 Participants to Galena, IL." Please remember that the bus will leave
at 6:00 p.m. so you must arrive at the Hotel before 6:00 p.m. The bus will not wait for you.
If you
should miss the bus, you will have to rent a car and drive the 144 miles on
your own.
A
return bus is planned for Saturday, May 31, 2008, at the end of sessions, at
approximately 12:30 p.m. so be prepared to have your luggage with you so that
you can leave immediately after the Symposium sessions end. This bus will return you to the Hilton
Hotel at O'Hare Airport. If you
miss this bus, you will have to make other arrangements for your return to
O'Hare.
If you are interested in using
this transportation, please indicate your interest when you complete the
on-line Registration
Form.
If you prefer, you may rent a car
and drive the 144 miles to the Resort.
