Getting to Pelee Island:
Flying: The closest airports to Pelee Island are Windsor (45 minute drive
to Kingsville), Detroit (1.5 hours), London (2.5 hours), Hamilton (4 hours) or
Toronto (4.5 hours). With the exception of Detroit and Toronto airports, flights
from the US and some Canadian centers may be limited. For those traveling from
the Eastern US, the airport in Sandusky Ohio (Griffing Sandusky Airport, Telephone:(419)
626-5161) is inexpensive, fast and reliable. They offer direct flights onto Pelee
Island.
Driving: If you are coming from east of Kingsville on the 401 Highway,
take exit number 48 south onto Highway 77. Once you arrive at Lemington, turn
west on highway 20 [Seacliff Drive] to Kingsville. If you are coming from the
west (Detroit/Windsor), take Highway 3 east, then turn south on highway 29 to
Kingsville.
Ferry: For ferry reservations to Pelee Island, call 1-800-661-2220.
If you are planning to bring your car to the Island, we encourage you to leave
your car at the dock on the mainland (Kingsville) due to space constraints on
the ferry. Departure times are fixed, and the boats do not wait for tardy conference
goers.
Accommodations: There are many beautiful hotels and bed and breakfasts
located on Pelee Island, but limited space is available (this will be tourist
season), so please book as early as possible. For a complete list of accommodation
on Pelee Island, visit their website http://www.Pelee.org/staying/htm. The three
