21-22 October CPT meeting logistics. 

   The meeting will be at the Talaris Conference Center at 4000 NE 41st
St, Seattle, tel. 206-268-7000, info@talariscc.com,
http://www.talarisconferencecenter.com/. This is about 1 mile east of
the University of Washington campus. We will be done at noon on Fri 22
October for those of you (including me) that need to catch eastbound
flights out of Seattle. There is free wireless internet at the
conference center meeting and guest rooms. Th/Fr breakfasts and Th
lunch will be provided at the conference center.  Please let me know
who from your group (including you) is coming so I can have a head
count.  CPT individual and modeling center PIs will be expected to
give 20 min presentations on their work to date on Thursday; please
give me talk titles.

   Talaris has a limited number (about 25, currently) of guest rooms
available at $109/night available on a first-come first -serve basis
reservable by calling the above phone number.  If these get filled up,
your best alternative choice is the Silver Cloud Inn at 5036 25th Ave
NE, (206)526-5200, www.silvercloud.com, $94/night, which is about a 10
minute walk from the conference center. I believe govt. rate for
Seattle hotels is $136/nite, so both of these are within your
reimbursement limits.

   The Shuttle Express van service will get you from Sea-Tac airport to
your hotel and back reasonably efficiently, $24 per person each way
(plus only $6 per additional person for a group of 2 or more). Catch
it by taking a skybridge from the airport to the Parking Garage and
going down 1 level to Level 3, they have a ticket and information
booth right there which you go to for getting sequenced into vans,
http://www.shuttleexpress.com/ for more info. There is no need for
advance reservations for the trip from the airport, but you will need
to reserve the trip back using (425)981-7000 or their on-line
reservation service (you can wait until you get to Seattle to do
this). A taxi to/from the airport will run you about $40.

   Travel reimbursement for CPT members who are not core PIs or their
entourage, and who we are allowed to reimburse thru UW, will be
handled just like last year by Shirley Joaquin
(shirley@atmos.washington.edu, 206-685-8396).
