Most of the information on this page will be distributed to you with your packet when you arrive.
Mirror Site
The UNM Physics website has been down intermittently. We are mirroring the
web site to
http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~kdyer/2006,
so you can look for all
Workshop information there.
Here are airport bus schedules, in pdf format:
There are several ATMs in the airport for obtaining US currency to pay for
the bus or the cab. The bus driver will not be able to provide change --
you will need coins or a 1$ bill to get on the bus -- you can buy a soda.
You may need to use the "Fit to page" button when you print the map.
Also marked is where the public bus drop-off at the intersection of
Central and Yale. If you take a cab, you can hand the cab driver the map
to show him where you want to go.

Change in administration
Jennie Peer has left to attend her wedding, so from now on all emails
should be sent to me (kristy.dyer[at]gmail.com) and Rebecca Ralph
(teddybearblues84[at]gmail.com).
Greeters at the airport June 12
If you arrive between 6AM and midnight on June 12 at the Albuquerque
airport, there will be someone at baggage to meet you (one escalator
carries people down to baggage -- look for someone with a sign marked
"10th Synthesis Imaging Workshop" at the bottom of the escalator or near
Visitor's Information).
Transportation from the Airport
Whether you come in on June 12, or earlier or later, you have two options
for transportation. You can share a cab (6-20$ plus tip), or, between 7 AM
and 8:30 PM you can take a public bus ($1) which will drop you at Central
and Yale, about a half mile walk across campus to the dorms.

Arrival on Campus after Midnight
If you arrive on campus after midnight (which will probably happen if
your flight lands anytime after 11 PM), you will have to pick up your
dorm keys at the 24 hour desk in the Student Services Center, which is
marked (Building 85) on the map. If your flight is SCHEDULED to arrive
after midnight, hopefully you will have sent me an email. If your flight
is delayed so that you will arrive on campus after midnight, please let us
know so that we can move your keys to the 24 hour desk in the Student
Services Center (marked on the Campus Map, above).
Reception, Hokona Dorm Lounge 6PM-9PM
If you are not staying in the dorm, please join us at Hokona Dorm in the
lounge area for a reception from 6PM to 9PM on June 12 (It is marked on
the
Campus Map or
Campus Map
at NRAO site). You can pick up your
registration packet there. If you told us which hotel you were staying in,
we will drop off your packet so that you can pick it up when you arrive.
If for some reason your packet is not there, be sure and show up at 8:30
AM Tuesday June 13 at Anthropology (marked "Lectures" on the map). The
hotels we
recommended all provide transportation to and from UNM -- please confirm
with them when you check in that you need to arrive at UNM at 8:30 AM.
Coffee at 8:30 AM, before Lectures
There will be juice and coffee available every day before the lecture at
8:30 AM.
Contact number
The Workshop now has an emergency number -- 505-269-4505. During the day
someone helping with the Workshop will answer it. At night, it will be by
my bedside. Carry the number with you in case you need it and give it to
your family as an *emergency* contact, but please don't wake me up in the
middle of the night unless it's serious!
Restaurants within walking distance of the dorms
If you are arriving in advance, you may want the restaurant
recommendations now -- they are at:
"Stomp" showing on Campus
If you are arriving very early, Popejoy Hall on campus
is showing the
unique dance show "Stomp" June
6-11.
Driving directions
If you are driving, you can use the address of Hokona Hall to get driving
directions from the web: 2500 Campus Blvd. NE, Albuquerque NM 87106, USA
How to obtain extra banquet tickets
Your banquet ticket is already paid for (unless you are a grazer). If you
would like to bring guest to the banquet, you will need to pay $10 for
guests over the age of 12. Please email us if you need extra tickets.
Internet Access
The dorm rooms has wired internet for your laptop. The campus as a whole
has an open wireless system called "unm" -- however Anthropology, the
building in which the lectures are being held works like a Faraday cage --
there's no reception inside the hall.
