the plan:
Saturday, June 24 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Arrive at the Steamship Company dock to park, unload luggage, and check-in. 2:00 p.m. Be prepared to board the Thomas Laighton. Because the Steamship Company dock is conveniently located in downtown Portsmouth, conferees can explore the town and grab lunch at a local eatery after check-in, so long as they return to the dock by 2:00 p.m. sharp to begin boarding. Conferees arriving after 1:00 p.m. run the risk of not having their checked luggage delivered to the island until Monday afternoon of the conference and, possibly, missing the ferry altogether. The parking fee for the dock in Portsmouth is $12 per vehicle per night. A car parked for a typical 7-night conference will cost $84. More questions?
