Once again, we have reserved a block of rooms at: Hampton Inn & Suites Savannah Historic District
201 MLK Jr. Boulevard
Savannah, GA 31401
The Hampton Inn enjoyed our group so much that they have extended our 2010 discount for 2011 — approximately $135.50, including taxes, breakfast, and parking. Participants should call 1-912-721-1600 by February 28, 2011, and either mention Barefoot
Contessa Photo Adventures or use the code BCPA.
This is a very popular time of year with gardens in full bloom, so we recommend
making your reservations early, even if you have to cancel later. We made ours a few days after the 2010 workshop ended!
For those who miss out on the our selected inn, check other possibilities
in and around Savannah,
B&Bs.
Airport:
The nearest major Airport is Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV).
Flying with Photo Equipment:
It is always good to check with TSA and your airline before traveling by air. Currently,
TSA
regulations note:
"You may carry one (1) bag of photographic equipment in addition to one (1) carry-on
and one (1) personal item through the screening checkpoint. The additional
bag must conform to your air carrier's carry-on restrictions for size and weight. Please
confirm your air carrier's restrictions prior to arriving at the airport."
They do remind everyone that not all airlines will allow this, so you may want
to select your airline based on thier willingness to work with photographers...
"Air carriers may or may not allow
the additional carry-on item on their aircraft. Please check with your
air carrier prior to arriving at the airport."
If you are a member of a photo association, carry your membership card. It may help
you, but that is not a guarantee.
Always check back with the TSA
website for the latest updates!
Rental Cars:
Because we stop in locations where the roads and streets may be narrow and parking
minimal, we encourage car sharing. If you are interested in sharing a rental
car with others, let us know. We'll pool those who respond and get you in touch
with one another to make your own plans. We can't guarantee that there will be
takers, so we also recommend that you rent a car, as you can always cancel later.
That way, you won't find your car of choice no longer available.
PRIVACY POLICY: Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures is respectful of your privacy and any information you give us, either through our interactive forms or via e-Mail. We are committed to ensuring the security and safety of this information. To that end, our policies are outlined in our Privacy Statement.
