I need some input from guys who have been to Chico. Isn’t Holiday Inn about a 40min walk away from City Plaza? There’s no bus, so you guys all walk or take the taxi right? ---

Pretty much everybody gets a ride with someone… there are a lot of rental cars around since most people fly into sacramento and drive to Chico. You can even fly into sacramento (typically a lot cheaper than flying into chico) and usually find a ride from the airport with somebody arriving around the same time… though this is trickier of course.

Speaking of which… I want to catch a flight to CIC. However, even if I fly as a minor, I would have nowhere to stay. Would anyone be open to helping me out? I’m not expecting anything, but if someone would be able to help that would be sweet! ---

There is a B-line bus route that runs everyday until 9pm for less that $2 a ride and it is about a 20 min ride to downtown. And its closer to a 30 min walk than 40. But there are always a ton of people willing to give rides if you have no other option. ---

Thanks guys. I get the picture now. I want to stay at the nearest hotel, I think Diamond Hotel, but I’ll probably end up staying at the Holiday Inn. ---

I know a lot of people will cover a percentage of the room to sleep on the floor so you might be able to do that. I had one person do %20-%30 of the room when I was at worlds last time ---

There are nicer/friendlier hotels very close to the venue (one directly behind bird-in-hand)… however all the yoyo players hang out at the holiday inn. If you have a car, it’s not a problem since you can hang out then just drive back to your hotel whenever you feel like it… otherwise I’d suggest staying where everybody is. ---
