Please note that the largest hot air balloon festival in the world takes place in Albuquerque on the weekends of 3-4 October and 10-11 October. It's a fabulous, very well-attended event, and therefore airline tickets into Albuquerqe and rental cars are scarce at this point. Please take care of your reservations quickly. (For more information about the festival, see http://www.aibf.org/.

TRAVELLING TO SANTA FE

Air: The major airport connection to Santa Fe is Albuquerque, New Mexico; approximately 60 miles from Santa Fe. Most major airlines fly into Albuquerque. There is also a very small airport in Santa Fe that is served by Aspen Air from Dallas (1-800-877-3932) and United Express from Denver (1-800-241-6522). It is always more expensive to fly into Santa Fe rather than Albquerque. Please take advantage of the lowest coach fares available to you.

For those of you who are on a Southwest Airlines route, Southwest is offering a 10% discount on most of its fares for travel to and from SFI. Call (or have your travel agent call) the Southwest Airlines Group and Meeting Desk at 1-800-433-5368 and refer to identifier code EO468 to take advantage of this offer. Call right away as fares are subject to terms and availability.

Ground: You can reach downtown Santa Fe from the Albuquerque airport using a bus service called Shuttlejack which runs approximately every two hours. The cost is $20 each way and reservations are required. Call (505) 982-4311 for reservations and information. The Shuttlejack stops at the Villas de Santa Fe. For transportation from the Santa Fe airport to the hotel, call the Road Runner Shuttle at (505) 424-3367.

Car rental is available at the Albuquerque and Santa Fe airports and in downtown Santa Fe. To reserve a car, call Budget at 1-800-828-3438 and reference the Santa Fe Institute corporate account number T475500. Please note that SFI will only reimburse $50 toward car rental.

FROM ALBUQUERQUE AIRPORT TO THE SUNTERRA RESORTS/VILLAS DE SANTA FE, 400 GRIFFIN STREET:

From the airport, take Sunport to I-25 North, the main highway to Santa Fe. Travel approximately one hour on I-25 to the St. Francis Exit. The exit turns left under the highway on to St. Francis Drive. Stay on St. Francis to the second intersection of Paseo de Peralta at the Nations Bank. Take a right. At the third light, Griffin Street, turn left. The hotel is at the corner.

FROM VILLAS DE SANTA FE TO SFI, 1399 HYDE PARK ROAD:

From the hotel, take a right on Griffin and a left on Paseo de Peralta. Take a left at the second light which is Washington. Take the second right on to Artist Road, which becomes Hyde Park Road. Drive 1.4 miles up the hill. After you pass the intersection of Gonazles Road on the left, there are three boulders on the left side of the road and a sign for Panorama Drive on the right. The Institute is the first paved driveway on the left. Turn in and drive to the top of the hill to reach the main building.
