Cars and van(s) (and train/bus if nec) will '''depart Montreal by/around 6PM Sunday Aug 13, 2017''' — as Wikimania ends — for the ~2.5 hour drive to Potsdam, NY.
Moments after Wikimania's closing ceremony ends, the main 12-person van (driven by Martin Walker) will leave Sunday August 13th 6:45PM — from Centre Sheraton's interior car pick-up & dropoff driveway — for the ~2.5 hour drive to Potsdam, NY.


In addition to our downtown Montreal pick-up location (TBA, but likely BY/BEFORE 6PM at http://Irish-Embassy.com Pub @ [http://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_foot&route=45.49803%2C-73.57154%3B45.49606%2C-73.57560 1234 Rue Bishop] with its beer garden!) it might also be possible to board a car or van early evening Sunday Aug 13th at Montreal's airport (YUL), as that's along the route to Potsdam, NY.
Other cars/van(s) will leave on their own terms (and train/bus if nec) that evening of Sunday August 13th. Please immediately contact holt @ laptop.org if you do not yet have a reserved spot and designated car and driver!
