Good news.
I found out last week that I'll receive sponsorship for my LAC trip. That
means there will be a LASH presentation, and I think a LASH workshop is also
in order.
The amount I'm getting isn't all that much but it will cover my travel costs.
That means I'm on the lookout for _cheap_ accommodation near the conference
site during 15.-20. April. Is there some place there specifically for LAC
visitors?
Now, I need to write that paper before the 29th...

PS: Dave, how's ticket #321 going?

fons, i have heard from a number of people who have to cut accommodation
costs as much as possible to be able to attend. imho, it would be very
unfortunate to lose many prospective attendants for lack of money... :(
if the weather is as promised, i've heard from several people who would
like to camp.
is there a cheap campsite within easy walking distance of the LAC venues
(or, even better, a patch of lawn on campus combined with a gym for
sanitary facilities?)
if so, some info on the lac page would be helpful.

I'm aware of this...

I'll try to find out. The weather *should* be fine in that
period, but you can't be 100% sure of it - last year's spring
was rather rainy.
(or, even better, a patch of lawn on campus combined

sanitary facilities?)
Getting this organised from the university would
probably be difficult - they are usually very
picky about regulations, security, etc. etc.
if so, some info on the lac page would be helpful.
It's being prepared !
One thing to consider if you are on a low budget is
sharing a double or triple room at a B&B. There's one
quite near to the CdM, 70 Euro for double, 90 Euro for
triple.

Hi LADers, out of the LAD loop for a while unfortunately and probably
not able to attend LAC in Parma but
as an italian I hope that I can give you a few useful advices about
traveling in italy.
There is an airport in Parma
http://www.parma-airport.it/default.aspx
but it does not offer many destinations, most notaly Ryanair (very
cheap airline) lands in Parma (London - Parma).
You are connected with Rome too (with Airalps, probably expensive I guess).
Other major international airports not too far from Parma:
Milano Malpensa - main hub in northern italy.
http://www.sea-aeroportimilano.it/en/malpensa/index.phtml
(there is shuttlebus which for a few euros brings you to/from the
Milan railway station in 50min).
From there you can travel to Parma by train in about
1-1.5h,
11-16EURO (I did look up the prices on the italian railways website).
Bergamo Orio al Serio.
http://www.sacbo.it/Airpor/portalProcess.jsp?languageID=2
several low cost airlines land in Bergamo, including Ryanair to major
european destinations including Frankfurt and London.
The airport is only a few km away from the Bergamo railway station
connected by city bus, cost 2-3EURO I think.
You can reach Parma from Bergamo by Train in about 2-3h, cost 10-17EURO
Another possibility is to take the shuttle bus to Milan railway
station and then the train (I believe the total travel time is similar
2.5-3h).
Bologna airport
http://www.bologna-airport.it/?LN=UK
several international desitinations
bus shuttle service (Terminal-Raiway Station)
Ticket Fare: Euro 5 ticket may be purchased on the bus
Airport-station travel time: about 20 minutes
you can reach Parma from Bologna by train in about 1h, price 6-11EURO
Venice airport: Venezia Marco Polo
http://www.veniceairport.it/core/index.jsp?_requestid=134790&language=en
the airport is a few km away from Venezia Mestre (the peninsular part
of Venice), connected by shuttle bus in 20-30min, price a few euros
from Venezia Mestre you can take the train to parma, travel time about
3h, cost 12-40 EURO
(far from Parma but lots of international flights and good highspeed
train connection to Bologna,Parma)
Rome: 2 major airports: Roma Fiumicino and Roma Ciampino
from Fiumicino there is a train to the main Rome railway station (Roma Termini)
A light metro connects Ciampino railway station to Termini railway
station with an average time of 15 minutes.
(In think in both cases travel time is about 1h)
From the railway station you can reach Parma by
highspeed train in
about 4h, cost 51 EURO.
To find out the exact train routes just use the italian railways
website: (click on English on the top)
http://www.ferroviedellostato.it
here you can enter origin, destination city and date and you get all
routes, prices and informations in case you need to take more than one
train to reach the destiation.
I hope this helps,
cheers,
Benno

Parma has a tiny airport, the only international
connection is to London Stansted. At the time of
writing there are 4 Ryanair flights each week, but
this *could* increase to daily in the spring and
summer.
The nearest airports are Bologna and Milano.
Bologna airport is near the city center, from
there you have the intercity train (1h) to Parma.
The Milano airports (there are two, Malpensa and
Linate) are about 45 min from Milano by bus (every
20 min), from there you have the intercity train
to Parma (1.5h).

Yes, none of London's airports are really close the
centre, which can be a pain if you need to tranfer
from one to the other.
The Stansted Express (train) takes 45 minutes to
Liverpool Street station - I used it last weekend.
