This is the route that I take. There are four major roads involved:
QEW, HWY 403, HWY 410, Derry Road. Details are:

QEW to HWY 403:
  Follow QEW from Peace Bridge passing through Burlington
   and Oakville.
  After the Trafalgar Road overpass at Oakville, there is a split
   with the QEW doing a sweeping curve to the left. Follow
   the curve but stay in the two right lanes. After the curve
   straightens out, HWY 403 branches off to the right.

HWY 403 to HWY 410:
   Proceed on HWY 403 to Toronto.
   You will eventually go under the HurOntario (Hwy 10) overpass.
   After this overpass, the road will branch (much like the one at
     Oakville) with HWY 403 curving to the left. Take this curve
     and move over to the two right lanes.
   HWY 410 splits off HWY 403 to the right.
   Take this branch but remain in the left lane for Hwy 410 as the road
    will again split up ahead.
   Once you go under an overpass, lanes from the other direction
     for HWY 410 will merge from the right.

HWY 410 to Derry Road.
   Move over to the right lane as the Derry Road exit will be coming
     up soon. I believe it's the second exit. Take Derry Road east
     and it will eventually cross Airport Road. Derry Road is a 6-lane
     road with a divider. The International Centre is the opposite right
corner.
     You can turn right at this intersection's light and get over to the
left lane
     quickly to turn left at the first light into their parking lot.

There will be signs all the way in the above directions.

If Ed remembers his route, he probably should take that. I would
have trouble remembering if I only went there once a year :-(

We spoke on the phone yesterday. He and Jeff (I think you met
him at the Nats a couple of times) will be there, probably at about
the same time as you and Ed are hoping to be there.

Michael Maskalans is a possibility. Jim offered a Fri. night
sleep-over at his place to Mike if he wanted to come.

Bob
