    Re: 6th Annual Grand Pacific Open Victoria BC April 6-9 2012

    Yes. From the ferry terminal at Swartz Bay as long as the following times work for you. April 5 7:45pm departure or April 6 9:45am departure. Other times: the public bus leaves on the hour and will take you to within 2 blocks of the Hotel Grand Pacific $2.50 for adults (exact change required). Sign up for a ticket for this Van/bus service at the following website http://2012grandpacificopen.eventbrite.ca

    From the airport, pick up can be arranged depending on your arrival date and time. Email grandpacificopen@gmail.com to discuss options. We will try to organize pick up and drop off for all players arriving at the Victoria International Airport.

    Alternatives are the Airport shuttle (approx $20 each way) or a taxi (approx $50 each way). The public bus is available with limited service from the airport to downtown. It is possible to take the shuttle ($2) to Mctavish station and transfer there to the #70 express or #72 buses to downtown (bus is $2.50)

    Thanks for making the trek. See you in April.

                              YES -- too bad about that news.

                              IM Lawrence Day had to stay back in Toronto to care for a sick friend!

                              We all miss seeing Lawrence this year!

                              But we do have 120 happy players getting ready for Round 3...

                                I see that H Nakamura's games are FIDE rated on live ratings. If he can win against 35 Canadian masters/experts with no draws, his rating will pass the 2800 mark! Go Hikaru! :)
