1. What are the departure points and what time do I need to be at the departure point?
a. Hartford: Somerset Square shopping mall in Glastonbury, CT in the parking area behind the Starbucks:
. Be there at 5am Sunday.
. Directions:
. Heading south from north of Hartford: Take 91 south to exit 25N (Glastonbury). The road, Rte 3, passes over the Connecticut River. Take the first exit after the river. Somerset Square is directly in front of you.
. Heading north from direction of Middletown: Take 91 north to exit 25/26 (Glastonbury). The road, Rte 3, passes over the Connecticut River. Take the first exit after the river. Somerset Square is directly in front of you.
b. Orange: The Activity Center at 518 Boston Post Road in Orange.
. Be there at 5am Sunday.
c. Westport: The Park and Ride off of I-95 exit 18.
. Be there at 5:45am Sunday.
d. Greenwich: The commuter parking lot off of exit 3 in Greenwich.
. Be there at 6:15am Sunday.
2. What time will we be getting back?
These are only estimates and dependent on variables we either can’t control (traffic) or don’t know (exactly what time will the bus depart). For now, though, let’s assume that the buses will depart by 4pm, that there will be a 45 minute dinner stop and traffic will delay us by 30 minutes. In that case we could be back in Greenwich by about 8pm, in Westport by 8:30, at the activity center by 9:15 and in Hartford by 10pm. Just estimates based on those assumptions.
3. What should I bring with me?
a. Please dress comfortably for the bus.
b. You may want to bring a pillow or cushion for the bus.
c. Isolated thundershowers are forecast for Sunday in Philadelphia. A small umbrella may come in handy.
d. If we are seated early we may be waiting a bit for the show to begin. You may wish to bring something to read or music to listen to.
4. What about food?
a. Please bring food to eat on the bus.
b. We cannot bring outside food into the Liacouras center where the show will take place. The doors to the arena will open at 11am. Food concession stands will be open from that point.
c. The bus will stop on the way home for dinner. Expect a typical rest stop on an interstate highway where there is a collection of fast food restaurants.
5. How will I get my ticket to the event?
a. Tickets will be distributed on the bus.
6. What bus departure point will I be using?
In the lists below which reflect information received as of the end of the day, Tuesday, 7/20, we have made some assumptions which need to be verified by the passengers. The assumptions are:
a. Charter Oak and Gateway Chapters and Bristol and Central CT districts of Rising Star chapter: depart from Hartford
b. New Haven and New London chapters: depart from the Orange Activity Center
c. Fairfield chapter and Northwest Corner district of Rising Star chapter: depart from Westport. Note that Westport leaves later in the morning than the activity center and, on the way home, you will get dropped off earlier to start your drive home.
d. Greater Stamford chapter: depart from Greenwich.
