� � After scanning through the hotel's website I have learned that there are data links in each room, so thus I will be making daily updates during our stay. While we are there I will be using Alta Vista, a new free web service I have heard some great things about. I now have a digital camera, so I can upload images within just a few minutes. Those of you attending who wish to have anything included on the sites, please see me in person, or feel free to set this up ahead of time by e-mailing me at [email protected]; I won't be hard to miss, I'll be the only one there with a computer, mini-tape recorder, cameras and overburdened girlfriend in tow!

I am also setting things up so that those attending will be able to send virtual postcards to their family and friends who can't attend, this is courtesy of a new service at airplanecards.com.

Our gratitude goes out to everyone who is making this special trip available to us and to Bill Holcomb, who is helping make this journal available through the loan of his lap top computer!
