Directions to Natalie's house for the Friday evening get-together were sent by email. If you didn't receive them, please let us know.

Your hosts will help you get into Boston on Sunday. If you drive, you should park in the garage at 1 International Place. Parking in this garage is normally $9 for the day on Sunday, but you can download and print a discount coupon for a $2 discount. Be sure to take your parking ticket and the coupon with you, because you will need to scan the coupon and pay by credit card at one of the machines in the lobby.

The ale will provide lunch on Saturday, and a dinner/feast Saturday evening. (However, note that ale guests will need to purchase their own beer or wine at Murphy's.) Hosts will provide breakfasts for out-of-town guests.
