Since we registered too late to get a room in the Waverly itself, we resigned ourselves to one of the back up hotels. Because the Sheraton Suites Galleria promised an elevated pedestrian walkway to the Cobb Galleria Centre, we opted for that hotel. The rooms were stellar, but the walkway, rather then being a short cut to the convention center, was a rather convoluted path. To take it, you had to go out of the hotel, up to the top floor of the parking garage, backtrack across a second street to the mall parking lot behind the Sheraton and then cross two walkways. It was at least twice as far as simply crossing the highway between the Sheraton and the Cobb, but it was certainly a great deal safer.

In the picture above, you can see the Cobb Centre and a bit of of the main walkway between the trees. The Sheraton is to the left and the first walkway (pictured below) is to the right.

After you cross the first walkway, there is this rather pleasant zig-zag path to the main walkway that crosses the Cobb Parkway itself.

Below, we are crossing the main walkway. Move your cursor over the image to see an outside view of the skybridge.

 

Once we exited the walkway, we then headed down these stairs and off to the right to the main entrance of the convention center. After entering the convention center, we had to travel down the entire length of  it to get to to Waverly where the con was actually being hosted.

Below, we are finally in the pre-registration line, ready to pick up our badges.
