Transportation from Portland International Airport to Portland Hotel
We have budgeted for a passenger van rental to provide transportation for the Japanese Sensei, Kato Sensei, Parker Sensei, and Sekreta Sensei. We assume that everyone will arrive together and stay at the hotel together.
1.) If you want me to make the van reservation, please tell me when you want to pick up and when to return.
2.) Also, if you need someone to drive the van, I will arrange for a volunteer. Because of work schedules, a volunteer may not be available for extra sightseeing trips.
