| Agent Smith | Would you guys suggest flying into LAX, SNA or LGB? I'm probably flying straight out to either SNA or LAX from ATL (getting off of a trip thursday night) but I'm trying to find a convenient hotel for the Mrs. |

| I would say SNA - I think with Ed planning it is going to be mostly based in OC, and if there is something that is not, SNA is not out of the way for Ed and/or I to come by and pick you up. If you guys want you and Kristie are more then welcome to camp at my place. We have a spare room that is usually occupied by British tourists - so just put on your best accent and you guys will fit in! |

| Big Chief's Woman | Ok.. we're planning on flying into SNA..grabbing a car from there. Haven't figured out the hotel yet.. that will be tomorrow's fun task! No worries on the room mate! we have an interesting take on the british accent, but we're afraid we'd probably muck it up so badly, your fam would never let us even near the house again! hahahaha Thanks for the offer though!

| No probs - if you need help on Hotels let us know. I am not sure what you guys are looking for. There are many hotels very close to SNA - Hilton, Raddison, Sutton Place (very posh, and pricey), I know Skywest uses the Holiday Inn: Holiday Inn SANTA ANA-ORANGE CO. ARPT 2726 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE SANTA ANA, CA 92705 UNITED STATES Tel: 1-714-4816300 Fax: 1-714-9661889 Email: Reservations@hi-oca.com Check-In Time: 3:00 PM Check-Out Time: 12:00 PM Quality Performer: Excellence Local Time: 10:44 PM PDT The only problem is you do not get Mrs. Holmes delivering you coffee and breakfast as you wake up - but then again you do not get Wilson the dog going through your stuff, and parading what he finds around the house! |

| Agent Smith | We're flying into SNA. I can get the crew hotel/Crowne Plaza for a mega-lo-mart rate so I might stay there, but I'm still in the preliminary stages of figuring out what's up. Iain, I haven't seen you since 2002 near Victoria Station in London man! You were going out to (old) Jersey! |

| Big Chief's Woman | So Ed... I'm hearing that Long Beach isn't really where we want to stay since most everything will be happening in O.C./beach area... any particular hotels in that area that we can stay at so we can stumble from bar to bar on the beach???

| Old Skool | Mike or Ed, Is there a dress code for the tour? -Brian |

| Old Skool | [ QUOTE ] Mike or Ed, Is there a dress code for the tour? -Brian [/ QUOTE ] Halfway decent, comfortable clothing. Please wear sneakers/comfortable shoes. The Boeing tour will last about 2 hours and plenty of walking and going up ladders (don't ask). During the visit to Alteon, there will customers around and crew training taking place. When we go to Boeing, never know who is around. The simulators can get cold, so you may want to bring a sweatshirt/sweater just in case. Oh yeah, eat breakfast, I had to change the schedule around, Boeing is going to give us the full version of the tour, so, there went lunch. Still tweaking the schedule, will post when ready. Bring a camera, the simulators are a treat, (Yeah Doug, we know how much you hate them). While in the simulator, still photos are ok, no videotaping. At the Boeing plant, no picture taking, but, photos will be ok at another section of Boeing. Don't forget passports, as of right now, everybody on the Alteon/Boeing tour list is a US Citizen, if not speak up. |

| Old Skool | Ok, Friday is the big day for the "get-together", just in case anybody gets in trouble, my work number is (562)733-2095, my cell # is (562)889-0230. As far as the revised schedule. 0900 Meet/Greet, divide into "2" groups of 5. 0910 MD82 Simulator Demo, Group #1, MD11 Simulator Demo Group #2 0935 MD11 Simulator Demo, Group #1, MD82 Simulator Demo Group #2 1010 MD80 Full Motion Cabin Trainer, Group #1 & 2. Once complete, we will head over to gate #6 for the start of our Boeing adventure, we will get a tour of the Boeing Plant, chance to shop at the Boeing Company Store, & one other surprise. We should be completed by 1300, stop by Alteon Training for tour of the training center & pick up your goddie bag. Once completed, I will need to get back to work & then the next plan of attack is Ed's turn to entertain the troops. |

| Big Chief's Woman | ok.. so doug says "geeez, halfway decent comfortable clothing could be anything - ask him if i can wear my shorts"... so - you've been asked! hahaha I think if i'm wearing my comfy walking shoes (sneakers), then i'll probably wear a pair of jeans cuz my skirts just won't work for going up ladders much less won't look fashionable with sneakers! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/insane.gif[/img] but i'll make sure it's a "nice" outfit with the jeans! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] btw - is there a main meeting location that we're going to meet at and will we all be able to recognize where it is? |

[/ QUOTE ] I'm wearing shorts if thats helps any. Also about the meeting situation, I'm pretty sure we are all meeting at Alteon, and I assume we'll meet in the lobby. And you can't miss me either.. I'm tall and a little round. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |
