Following the class description and dates is the location of the class. Sites that are followed by the maps.expedia.com logo are the ones for which you can receive directions. Clicking on the location -- highlighted in blue -- will open up a window in maps.expedia.com. It might take a few moments to launch. You will be asked for a starting point. Fill that in. Scroll down to the destination point. The address of the end point will already be filled in. Continue to scroll down and click on “Get Driving Directions,” and you will be provided with detailed instructions and a map, which can be printed.
