RE: NANOG costs

[Randy Neals <rneals () gt ca>]

The good news is that the Hotel costs in Richmond Hill are considerably less
than past venues.
And, the exchange rate is currently USD$1 to about CAD$1.60,
And, the beer has more alcohol content.

If your really trying to save money fly to Buffalo on Jet Blue, rent a car,
and drive to Toronto.
It's a 1-2 hr drive and you can visit Niagara Falls.

Sheraton Standard Room Rate:   $149 CDN (approx. $95 USD)
Sheraton Deluxe Jacuzzi Room Rate:   $169 CDN (approx. $107 USD)
Best Western Standard Room Rate:   $109 CDN (approx. $70 USD)

Unfortunately discounts just aren't feasible - there'd be administrative
problems and questions of fairness to other attendees (and to Merit, since
our per-attendee costs wouldn't change.) Plus, we're not sure it would
solve the problem, considering everyone's high travel and hotel costs.

There's always multicast and RealAudio ...
