<div class="moz-cite-prefix">There is an international airport in
Bellingham. I have previously driven down from Vancouver to take
advantage of cheaper flights than were available out of YVR, so
you might look into that.<br>
<br>
I'm waiting on confirmed availability, but I'll register as soon
as I know.<br>

We will announce the name of the official headquarters
hotel soon, and of course you are free to choose another
hotel accommodation if you prefer. Several of the hotel
websites are already indicating "No rooms available," so
the sooner you can respond, the better.</font></div>

<div align="left"><font size="3">IMPORTANT!!: <u>To cross
the border into Canada for the Nuytco tour, every
person no matter what age must present a valid
passport</u>. If you do not have an up-to-date
passport I would strongly suggest you apply for or renew
your passport ASAP. More on this later.</font></div>

International Airport is 1 hour 40 minutes from
Bellingham. Vancouver International Airport is 50 miles
or about 1 hour from Bellingham. If your departure
point is within the Unites States, flying into
Seattle-Tacoma is likely to be somewhat cheaper.</font></div>

<div align="left"><font size="3">Some of you toured Nuytco
during our convention several years ago. Dr. Phil has
expanded the facility substantially since then to
accommodate greater manufacturing activities. There are
presently a number of subs under construction. See <a
