I don't have a US cell phone so can't down load an Uber app. How can I get to the Course site?
You can take a regular taxi . We will post a meeting place for DW friends to meet to share rides, cabs, etc

Where can I park my car and does it cost anything?
If you are stating at the Dana, you can park it anytime for free.
If you are staying at the Hyatt, you can park it for Free all day from 6am - 10pm. After that it is $10 per night. (Reduced from $38 per night)
We may be able to have Free parking at the Marina Village. Ask when you Check-In at the course.

Is it true there won't be Coffee/Tea Service in the Hyatt for the Gompa sessions?
There won't be Coffee/Tea service there, but we are welcome to fill a personal thermos at the Dining room in Marina Village and bring to the Gompa.

I heard it is always sunny and never rains in San Diego, is that true?
Generally it is very sunny, however it does rain occasionally, so it would be wise to bring an umbrella since we will be walking outdoors between course venues. Also the high temperatures will average around 68F/20C and the low temperatures 55F/12.78C. Be prepared for mild days and cool evenings.

Do I need to bring a meditation cushion?
Yes

Are there swimming pools at the hotels?
Yes, so be sure to bring swimwear. Even if the weather is not hot, there are also Jacuzzis.

I had a hip replacement and don't think I will be able to walk between the venues. How is this going to work?
We plan to have a voluntary shuttle service to help get you around.
