Don't forget airport transportation -- the more who reserve in advance, the lower the price!!!


As posted previously, Whitehorse Transportation (www.ridewhitehorse.com) has agreed to provide transportation for our educators who are flying into and out of RDU International Airport. And, you will received their PREFERRED VIP rate. Note that if you are planning to take a "typical cab" at the airport, you will most likely be charged $39 each way (or more) and it is just that -- a "typical cab" -- WHITEHORSE IS DIFFERENT! :-)

Here's the Whitehorse pricing schedule: $45 if picking up ONE passenger ONLY, $50 TOTAL if picking up 2 passengers ($25pp), or $55 TOTAL for 3 passengers ($18.50pp). For four passengers, the charge is $15 per person. For FIVE or MORE passengers, the rate is $12 per person. Complicated? Yup -- but this is still a REAL DEAL for our educators. Whitehorse will be combining reservations so that they can get as many folks into a vehicle (comfortably) to keep your prices down. Their vehicles are clean -- new -- many have leather seats -- and are SAFE and comfortable -- you won't be disappointed. So, email reservations@ridewhitehorse.com today and reserve your spot. They will require a credit card to hold your reservation, but your credit card will NOT be charged until you are picked up (or dropped off). If questions, let me know at cschor@kindermusik.com.

REMINDER: you'll need to reserve your transportation ahead of time. So -- again -- here's what you need to do:
1) Call Whitehorse Transportation at 888.62-HORSE (888.624.6773) ... or email Whitehorse Transportation at reservations@ridewhitehorse.com
2) Request the KINDERMUSIK CONVENTION rate
3) Advise Whitehorse of your date and time of arrival and your date and time of departure (along with your airline information)
4) Whitehorse will include this information in your transportation reservation and will send you a confirmation via email
5) Whitehorse will require a credit card to guarantee service, so please have that available when making your reservation
6) Whitehorse will pick you up just outside of baggage claim -- where you will find a PURPLE Pre-arranged Services station (pictured above) -- you can't miss it -- there's one outside of both terminals at RDU.

This is an extraordinarily LOW rate as Whitehorse has a contract with the Marriott to provide ONE WAY service at $45.00 each way (that’s what I had to pay when Lee gave me a ride from the Marriott back to RDU last Friday – it was money well spent by KI, though, as I was able to find this deal to pass on to you!!!).Please be sure to share this information with all educators who will be flying into RDU. This is much less expensive than renting a car and paying for parking in downtown Raleigh.
Of course, if you have questions, let me know -- I can be reached at cschor@kindermusik.com.

Until then,

"Convention Connie"
