GRC, through Concord Trailways, provides a chartered bus service from the Embassy Suites Boston at Logan Airport in Boston, MA and Manchester Airport in Manchester, NH to Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH. In order to make use of this service, you must reserve a seat on the bus in advance no later than the Tuesday prior to the conference.
Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) Buses: The departure information listed below applies to standard GRCs only (6-day meetings that begin on Sunday). If you are attending a Gordon Research Seminar (2-day meetings that begin on the Saturday preceding the associated GRC), there is only one bus available. The GRS bus leaves the Embassy Suites Boston at Logan Airport on Saturday at 11:00 am. All other information (travel time, fares, policies) is the same as the GRC meeting buses. If you are attending both the GRS and the GRC and would like to make a round-trip reservation, please select "round-trip" when you register for the GRS. If you are not attending the GRC after the GRS, you will be responsible for your own transportation to the airport on Sunday.

- Departure times are 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm, and 4:00 pm on the first day of the Conference (Sunday). The travel time from Logan Airport to the site is approximately 2 hours.

Attendees are free to relax in this room while waiting to be picked up by the GRC chartered bus. The hotel provides a complimentary shuttle bus from the Airport. Attendees should call the Embassy Suites (617-567-5000) to let them know that they are waiting for the shuttle. There are courtesy phones for the hotel at each baggage claim area.
- When making travel plans, please take into account the extra time you will need to get to the Embassy Suites. It can easily take 30 minutes or more to reach the hotel once your plane arrives.
