Travel Information:

You will need to arrange your own transportation from Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX) Airport to the hotel. There are shuttle services available from the Phoenix airport to Orange Tree Resort, 10601 N 56th St., Scottsdale, AZ, 85254.

PML (Peter Enos owner) 602-622-3031. He has shuttled folks to other Lynn Andrews events and around town for shopping and sightseeing, and comes personally recommended by many of us. You can call ahead and give him your flight information and he will be there in time to pick you up. He will tell you what color car he is in and is usually there within 5-10 minutes of your call.

Another option would be to Uber or rent a car at the Phoenix Airport and consider sharing the ride and cost with your fellow Apprentice or Kindred Spirit; you would need to coordinate this with each other. Either way, we want you to have enough time to arrive at the center, register, settle in, and be ready for this wonderful event!  It’s approximately a 1/2 hour drive from the airport to the Center.
