TRAVEL TIPS

Air Travel

If you are flying to the conference, be sure to make flight arrangements to
Orange County Airport (also known as John Wayne Airport). As mentioned above,
the Atrium Hotel provides a courtesy shuttle between Orange County Airport and
the hotel. Call them from the airport and they will come and pick you up
within minutes.

Driving to Irvine / UCI / Hotel

If you are driving, use the 405 freeway and once you reach Irvine, exit on
University Drive (this exit has University Drive going West and Jeffrey Road
going East; go West on University). Follow University until you reach Campus
Drive. If you are going to the Atrium Hotel, turn right on Campus and follow
the directions under (a). If you are going to UCI, turn left on Campus (see
directions under (b)).

(a) Having turned right on Campus to go to the Atrium Hotel, keep going on
Campus until you reach MacArthur Boulevard. Turn right on MacArthur; the
Atrium Hotel will be a short distance on the right-hand side (if you wish
to see the Pacific Ocean, turn left on MacArthur instead of right and keep
going until you reach PCH [Pacific Coast Highway], which parallels the coast.
Go left to head South toward Laguna Beach, San Diego, and Mexico; go right
to head North toward Newport Beach, Los Angeles, and Canada).

(b) Back at the corner of University Drive and Campus Drive (you are on
University Drive coming from the 405): To go to UCI, turn left on Campus,
right on Bridge Road, and left on Pereira Drive. The best place to park is
the parking structure on your left as you turn on Pereira Drive. Parking is
$4.00 a day. Parking permits can be purchased at the entrance to the parking
structure. The conference is scheduled to take place in the UCI Student
Center across the street from the parking structure.

The Linguistics Department

The Linguistics Department is located further down on the right side of
Pereira Drive, across the street from parking lot #1, in a brand-new
complex called the Social Science Plaza. The Departmental Office is on
the 5th floor of Building B of that complex (Phone: 714-824-7504).
