I hope parking is .25 cents a day or under.... I had to sell my soul and many material things to get out to CA. I mean I'm spending at least 1,000.00 just to get out there. Looks like power bars for breakfast and a shake for lunch everyday.
Living on my credit cards is becoming a reality.
It would be nice to catch a break once and awhile......
PARKING ADVISORY
There is no overnight RV or Trailer Parking on the Stanford Campus. Parking for competitors and spectators will be in the Galvez lot at the corner of Galvez and Campus Drive. There will be a nominal charge for parking which will be posted on this site, with a map by 7/15/06. The lot is about 250 meters from the pool area.
"couple of years ago, when Stanford was first announced as the site for FINA Worlds, I raised parking and generally the high expenses of traveling to the SF Bay area for this meet (and was justly blasted by Aquageek for being so negative). "
I don't mind the fact that the meet is in Standford. I expected it to be expensive and that's why I'm staying in the hotel I'm in. What I have a problem with is the fact that I enquired about this back in February and even called the school and no fee was ever mentioned.
Annoucing there is a fee now is a little late in my book.
This should have been in the meet book that was printed months ago along with a map of the parking lot etc.
"We can save the constructive criticism for the post-meet discussions. "
Again this wouldn't be coming up now if this was dealt with in Feb.
I could find all the emails that I sent out about this topic back in Feb.....
Whatever...
