FLIGHTS
Those coming from out of town should fly into SFO. The location of the retreat in the Sausalito area is a 35-50 min drive from SFO depending on traffic.
Arriving on Thursday, June 15th:
We encourage alumni to come in on Thursday afternoon or evening to participate in alumni discussions, meetings, and fun activities during the daytime on Friday, June 16th. These events will be held at The Lodge At Tiburon where current fellows will be staying. If you arrive at your hotel by 8pm on Thursday, you can attend the annual retreat Battledecks event!
Arriving on Friday, June 16th:
Everyone attending the Reunion Sunset Cruise should plan their flight to arrive at their hotel by 4pm on Friday. This will allow you time to catch ground transportation to the Sausalito Ferry dock where we will launch the party promptly at 5:30pm.
HOTEL
We have secured a room block with a preferred rate at the two hotels below for our alumni attending the retreat. Code for both- ACT623
Waters Edge Hotel, Tiburon (Please note there is a two night minimum stay at the Water’s Edge for 6/16)
TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING
There are a few different options when you are in the Bay Area to get to the Tiburon/Sausalito Area
SFO to Seminary Drive = $25. Taxi from Mill Valley to the hotel would be needed, but the driver can call one in route.
Shuttle runs every hour
No need to book a specific hour when buying a ticket; the ticket is good for any day/time 7 days before + after the day you indicate you’ll take it.
Have to buy the ticket online in advance OR pay with cash upon entering
Uber/Lyft:
Estimates show the Lyft/Ubers at $55-70 per ride to Tiburon from SFO. It should take ~35 min without traffic. Both time and cost will vary depending on time of day.
Car pool:
We will start a few threads in the slack to support folks coordinating car pooling from different locations.
Ferry:
Those that are local (or staying in the area beforehand), you can take the Golden Gate Ferry which has ferries which go from SF to Tiburon or Sausalito. The ferry to Sausilto will drop you at the same dock area where the Sunset Cruise will depart from. The Tiburon ferry docks about 100 yards from The Lodge at Tiburon.
