Please fill out the following survey if you would like to arrange for discounted transportation or give your opinion on conference activities. We need your answers this week. http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB2244SFRHAFQ Dominica departure tax ====================== Please note that there is a departure tax of approximately EC$50/US$22 payable at the airport on you way out of Dominica. You'll be reminded of the exact figure at the conference. New York Times article ====================== Dominica was recently featured in Saturday's New York times. (Ignore the red herring of their reference to the Dominican Republic early in the article.) It's a great read to get yourself in the mood for your upcoming trip. http://nytimes.com/2005/02/06/travel/06dominica.html?pagewanted=all [Learn to] Scuba dive ===================== Please contact me at stuart.schechter@gmail.com if you are interested in a discover-scuba social on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon, if you are interested in getting a full open water certification on Dominica, or if you are already certified and want to dive with other attendees. Registration ============ With three weeks to go before the conference registration has already exceeded our totals from last year by more than 10%. We're glad to see you're as excited as we are and we're looking forward to a great conference.
