SPOUSE’S PROGRAM: Friday and
Saturday, including TBD.
* LOCATION: Enfield, Connecticut is on Interstate Highway 91 at the border of Connecticut and Massachusetts,
5 minutes south of Springfield, MA, and 20 minutes north of Hartford, CT.
The closest airport is Hartford,
with a shuttle van to the hotel. Other convenient airports are Boston
(about 1.5 hours), Worcester, MA,
Providence, RI
and Manchester, NH. Domestic fares to Providence
and Manchester are often much cheaper than Boston, so comparison
shop. International flights generally go to Boston
or Hartford, but the New York airports are within reasonable
distance if you find a bargain fare.
** SURPLUS TOUR: The surplus dealers
in New England are scattered, so an inordinate
amount of driving would be required. Instead of the traditional surplus tour,
we are inviting the best surplus dealers in the Northeast to setup at both the
Friday evening swap session and the Sunday morning flea market. In addition,
the dealers who have setup at previous Microwave Updates have promised to bring
even more delectable goodies. If there is sufficient interest, it may be
possible to arrange a tour of a very large dish on Thursday morning.
