Directions to the Training
Grand Beach, Michigan
By Plane
South Bend Regional Airport (Airport code: SBN) is the nearest airport, but it is fairly small, which means it is also generally more expensive. Chicago Midway (MDW) is the next closest and is a major airport. Chicago O'Hare (ORD) is also within shuttle/rental car distance, and is the country's most major airport.
You can rent a car at any of the airports or take the airport shuttle from them to the Michigan City Holiday Inn (not the Training site), and then from the Holiday Inn to the Grand Beach Inn (the Training site).
If you are taking the airport shuttle, call In Time Delivery, a local taxi company to schedule your pickup at the Holiday Inn.
You must call In Time Delivery two or more days in advance to schedule your pickup: 219-898-3138.
From Midway or O'Hare
By Taxi Shuttle
In Time Delivery, a local taxi service, will pick up trainees from either of the Chicago airports and take them directly to the Grand Beach Inn, in contrast to the Airport Bus Shuttle below, which drops off at the Michigan City Holiday Inn (which is about 10 miles from the Grand Beach Inn, the trainings site). From there you will have to get a ride from either In Time Delivery or from another trainee to the training site. (If all else fails, someone from the YK office can pick you up from the Holiday Inn and take you to the training site, just please let us know several days in advance: 219-872-9611.)
In Time Delivery also said if he was transporting multiple people from the airport to the GB Inn, they might be able to match or beat the normal combined price of the Airport Bus Shuttle (below) and his price from the Holiday Inn to the Grand Beach Inn, so this could be a great way to go if you can get a bunch of people together.
You must call In Time Delivery two or more days in advance to schedule your pickup: 219-898-3138.
