Re: Portland

Daryl, according to what's online at _www.gardenwriters.org_ 
(http://www.gardenwriters.org)  and at the  Doubletree's own site:

 Located only 9 miles from the Portland International Airport, the MAX  light 
rail system will pick you up at baggage claim and drop you off directly  
across the street from the front door. 

The hotel's web site also says:

High-Speed Internet Access in Guestrooms/Complimentary Wi-Fi in Public  Space 

....which makes it sound as though there will be a fee for protected online  
service in rooms, free open access down by the pool or in the lounge.

I've  looked in a couple of places, but may have overlooked the answer - 
what's  the best way to get from the airport to the Doubletree? Cab? Hotel  
transport?

I may arrive nearly brain-dead from dealing with a  bottle-fed kitten, a 17 
year old dog, and a 94 year old Dad, so whatever  is the most simple wins. 
Oh, and do I read it correctly that there's free  Wi-Fi? I'm teaching until 
after noon on Thursday, and grades have to be in  by Tuesday. I think I can 
get all of their landscape designs graded by  Thursday night or early Friday, 
but uploading the info is going to be a  bear if I can't do it from my  
laptop.

Thanks.
