TRAVEL INFORMATION

LOCATION:
Provo is located approximately 45 minutes south of the Salt Lake City International Airport.
Currently, there are 15 airlines with service from Salt Lake City International Airport,
with Delta Airlines as a major hub in Salt Lake.

TO PROVO FROM AIRPORT:

There are rental cars, buses, taxis, and limos available at the airport. I
would recommend a Shuttle Service from the airport, which is what I
usually take. It is a van that shuttles between Salt Lake and Provo every
hour at the bottom of the hour every day.

WHERE TO STAY:

PROVO MARRIOTT RESIDENCE INN

I spoke with the Director of Sales, Rita Riling, today; and she is excited to
accommodate guests for this event at the Provo Residence Inn. I have this hotel as my 1st pick,
since it is located 1.2 miles, just 2 minutes, from Saving Graces Doll Shoppe.
She quoted a room rate of $ 79.00/night for this event. Book early - it is a popular hotel.

Located within walking distance are great restaurants - Pizza Factory (love
it), The Training Table, Olive Garden, Zupas (Soup & Salad - love it), Cafe Rio
& many others; the University Mall - located 1.5 miles or 2 minutes from
Residence Inn; Brigham Young University - located 1 mile from Residence Inn.

Due to the number of new collectors joining the fascinating hobby of doll collecting we will be adding answers to a few commonly asked questions here.

The main purpose of this page, however, is provide an easily accessible link to (in my opinion) to one of the best Marie Osmond resource sites on the web. This site is owned by a private individual and Diane's Dolls encouarges your use of this well developed and excellent website. Please visit it often - it is updated regularly and contains excellent photographs of current and retired dolls.
