People arriving on the late bus of Sunday May 26, will be taken to their hotel, where they will get a cold dinner. They should register Monday morning at the conference office, starting at 8:30.

For those of you who are receiving money from us (speakers included): please do not forget to bring your plane or train ticket, as well as some proof of identity (passport, etc.)

LECTURES

HOTELS
A list of participants and their hotels will be left at the conference office and at Hotel Graal.

AIRPORT
At the airport, the information desk stays open until the last plane of the day arrives. In case your plane is very much delayed, we might leave a message for you there.

(May 23) Dear participant,

BUSES (click here for the final schedule of the buses).
In the next message, you will find the final scheduling of the buses (it is also posted on the Web). If your name is not on the list, you can still board any of the buses, but on a first-come first-served basis. [So this is at your own risk: if the last bus is full, you will have to take a taxi to Ravello, shared with other participants if possible. Let us hope this does not happen].

The meeting points are as follows:
In the train station (Napoli Centrale): please wait in the waiting room, someone will come and waive a poster of the conference. If you have a long time to wait, you may want to check your luggage in the locker-room. Be careful: the locker room CLOSES at 20:00 (=8pm).

In the airport: please wait near the car rental offices (located inside the building). Someone will come and waive a poster of the conference. There is a bar and a pizzeria in the airport, where you can spend time if you arrive early.

All the people who took half-board at their hotel will get a dinner (the people on the last bus will get a cold dinner).

EXCURSION
There will be an excursion on Thursday afternoon, to Pompei. The cost will be of 14 Euros per person, plus the entrance fee to the site (6 Euros). If you wish to go, you need to tell us before 16:30 on Monday, May 27.

CONFERENCE PHONE NUMBER
The conference office WILL have a phone number, but we will only know it tomorrow, and I'll send it to you then.

MAPS OF RAVELLO
On our Web site, you can find two maps of Ravello. Map 1, Map 2 (more detailed).

E-MAIL
There will be two terminals, running under Windows.

(May 17, corr. May 18) Dear participant,

HOTELS
Many of you have wondered about their hotel accommodation: if you have received this message, this means that you have a hotel room booked for you. If for some reason, you absolutely need to know where you are staying before Sunday, you can contact me and I'll tell you (zoe@logique.jussieu.fr). (Of course, when you take the bus on Sunday May 26, someone will tell you where you are staying).

BUSES
At this moment, we do not have enough information to schedule the buses of May 26, only 90 people gave the information concerning their arrival. Please do so, as soon as possible (eva.ferraradentice@unina2.it).
There will be three buses on May 26, the last one will be at the airport at 21:30 and wait for all the late-comers. Please note: buses can take only 50 people, and we are 130. So we need to plan carefully the bus-loads, and fill the buses to capacity. (The worst case of figure would be to have the two earlier buses not full, and 70 people at the airport at 21:30). So, please help us to do a good job.
Once we have the requested information, we will send out a message with the list of people on each bus, as well as instructions on the meeting points and times. This information will also be posted on the Web (http://www.logique.jussieu.fr/ECMTA-02), which you can consult from any Cyber-café if you are travelling.
There will be a bus leaving from Ravello and going to the airport very early on Sunday June 2 (4:30).

WEATHER
Ravello is on a mountain, so the temperature is cooler than on the coast. Expect 18 to 22 degrees centigrades (=64-72 Fahrenheit). There are nice beaches in Amalfi (a half-hour bus ride from Ravello).

(May 7, 2002) Dear participant,

Here is some partial information about the conference, and request for help.

BUSES
Very few people have given us the information about their arrival. In order that we can organise the buses effectively, please tell us as soon as possible:
The date, time and place of your arrival (train station or airport) in Naples. Do not forget to specify am or pm if confusion is possible.

If you DO NOT NEED transportation to Ravello, please let us also know. Please e-mail this information to Eva Ferrara Dentice eva.ferraradentice@unina2.it

Some of you are taking a very early plane on Sunday June 2, a bus will be organised at 4:30 am on June 2 from Ravello, if necessary.

More details on the buses will be e-mailed to you approximately a week before the conference. The information will also be posted on our Web page (http://www.logique.jussieu.fr/ECMTA-02/). Titles of talks and abstracts can also be found there on the programme page.

BANQUET
A banquet in honour of A.J. Macintyre will take place on Friday evening. The cost is of 45 Euros per person. Could you please reconfirm to us that you will or will not attend the banquet, by writing to eva.ferraradentice@unina2.it. This will help us estimate the number of people. (Do not forget to mention the number of accompanying persons, if necessary).

HOTELS IN NAPLES
If you plan to spend some time in Naples after or before the meeting, you should book a hotel, as it it high season in Naples, and hotels are getting full.
Additional info. Official tourist site of Naples: www.ept.napoli.it (click on "Gli Alberghi"). Some hotels:
- Fontane a mare: 60 euros for a single with bathroom, 50 euros single without bathroom, 65 per room if two people share. Tel and fax: 081 7643470
