This document covers a variety
of issues, from travel to and from the workshop, to
lodging and meals, and what to bring in order to ensure
your comfort and full participation in the workshop
activities.
This year the workshop has been streamlined as much
as possible to assure ample opportunities for learning,
exploring and collegiality.
About Travel:
The allowances for travel are similar to those agreed
upon for previous workshops. Those of you who intend
to drive your own vehicles to and from DC will need
to get prior approval from Bob K. (contact shelleyh@uidaho.edu
or call (208) 885-7105). Please do this ASAP.
If you are choosing to drive, the reimbursement portion
allowed will be the amount allowed as if you were
to fly. There will NOT be an allowance for
rental cars this year, nor a parking allowance. The
local metro, bus and subway are very efficient in the
DC area. There will be a small allowance for travel
to and from the airport only ($60.00). Travel requisition
forms are available on this website. Please use this
to claim your expenses.
To make flight arrangements, please contact, via e-mail,
Judy Lees
at Global Travel on Monday's through Thursday's between
8:00am and 3:00pm Pacific Time or call the toll
free telephone number (800) 227-3165. Judy has a list
of Rediscovery travelers.

We will be staying at the Washington Court Hotel. Rooms
have already been assigned and a list of confirmation
