What you guys feel more comfortable wandering around erecting stuff? We're
too prudish for that phrase.

Don't speed from the airport to the hotel - they stop you and lock you

Any valid, realistic suggestions?
Hey, there's an idea.... Have a "conference location" suggestion box at
conference with a questionnaire to allow people to submit ideas? Or put
one up on the iiug website? Using a questionnaire would perhaps trim
down on the number of "blow hole" suggestions.

Yes, all true. It's certainly a great value conference, to be able to
register for about £210.
It's just a difficult place to get to and - shock horror! - I'm going to
have to fly on a US airline at least part of the way to get there ;-)

Neil, Art,

I saw this on the late news last night, looked like a pretty good option
with the risk that they are a new carrier.
Art - this might work nicely for you, it might enable you to fly odd
hours and "puddle jump" half way.
..
Check this out: www.skybus.com
..
I don't know about overseas but flying in the states is pretty much a
"bus in the air/cattle truck" no frills experience these days unless you
pay the big bucks. Depending on what airport you can depart from on the
east/west coast, you can get to Kansas City, but you will have to change
planes in Columbus, Ohio (the main hub for this new carrier).
..
I queried the site.... I found a round trip price for $86.30 US
piggybacked with a round trip for $90.80 US and I got from New York
(Newburgh) to Kansas City with an overnight in Columbus to get to
conference. After conference I got back to New York on the return legs
of the round trips with no overnight in Columbus.
..
Details:
Flight 1, roundtrip = $86.30 US
Flight 2, roundtrip = $90.80 US
..
Flight1 : first leg: depart New York (Newburgh, NY) Friday April 25 at
10:54 AM
.. arrive Columbus, Ohio, Friday April 25 at
12:24 PM
(ok, you'd have an overnight in Columbus or you'd have only 4 minutes to
make the connection)
Flight 2: first leg: depart Columbus, Ohio, Saturday April 26 at 12:28
PM
.. arrive Kansas City, Missouri, Saturday April
26 at 1:14 PM
IIUG Conference...
Flight 2: return leg: depart Kansas City, Missouri, Thursday May 1 at

Thanks Norma. I booked a BA flight, change in Chicago to a United flight to
Kansas. The latest flight out of Kansas City consistent with getting a
same-night flight home leaves at 4pm. I understand that the airport is a
long way from the Marriott so I'll have to miss the last arvo of the
conference.

Paul W warns against O'Hare Immigration. Having just come back from the US,
and added Tampa to my repetoire of US Immigration posts, I have to say that
they are uniformly miserable whereever you go. The lines are worst in NY
and Orlando in my experience, where you can easily queue for an hour.
There's never the slightest smile, let alone "Welcome Back to the US, Mr
Truby" from Immigration. This is in contrast to the more-or-less uniformly
friendly attitude of the "ordinary" Americans we meet once there. There's
quite a lot of pressure from the US Tourist Industry for the Immigration
Service to smarten up its act and create a better First Impression. I was
talking to one of the Virgin Atlantic hosties on the way home and she said
they get the same attitude: she thinks they may deliberately be trained to
spurn any personal interaction in order not to beinfluenced. It's a shame
though, becasue almost every visitor to the US I know comments on this.
