The car straigh to Caceres looks the most logical thing since it is
required in both
options and is cheaper for the team. No problem for me with that.
It could be coordianted to other people to go to Caceres with me at same time
to reduce the general cost of it.

Agreed.

Wasn't it considered when choosing the venue?
Let's please avoid taking it for _me_ but for any handicapped people. As far
as I know there were other handicapped people in Argentina so we need to
consider it as a real need.
Usually wheelchairs has 65cm of width and 120cm long; scooters are a bit
bigger. 75cm of width and 145cm long.

I wasn't involved at the organization so I have no information about the
venue itself; it would be nice to avoid the car requirement since it would
make any people requiring to stay on this hotel being excluded of a lot
of activities of Debconf.

So this is really a good time to plan in advance it to avoid the boring
aspect of it needing to be discussed (we unfortunately had this situation
in Mexico and it was really sad for all involved parts).

I guess most of points are covered by those questions. I gave the information
required but I'm always open for any other question to help to solve
those things.
