Dear All,
Just a few reminders about the upcoming conference in
the Canaries:
Deadline for late registration is this week! After
that on-site registration only. Although I trust that
most of you signed up in time for early
registration...
Also, I trust you've surfed a bit on the main
conference web page
http://www.uicmm.ulpgc.es/
as there is a page called student information with
news about cheap lodging. Best options are sharing a
hotel room or a pension. If you haven't arranged for
your lodging yet do it asap because they're running
out of space! Apparently at the same time as the
Conference Carnaval is taking place. This attracts
quite a bit of tourism which will make getting a cheap
hotel a bit more difficult.
If you need to find someone to share a hotel room with
during the conference you can post an e-mail to our
student mailing list with your information. After all,
this list is also to promote communication between
students!
Finally, for those of you landing in Las Palmas de
Gran Canaria during the daytime and feeling
adventuresome, you might want to try the bus into town
instead of a cab... it's quite a bit cheaper (I
believe a couple of euros at most). You get it next to
the taxi stand. Buses in the Canaries are called
"guagua" (pronounce gwagwa). This bus ends at the
PLaza de Santa Catalina which is just a few blocks
from most of the hotels. A map can be found on the
conference web page.
As for those interested in the whalewatching workshop
in Tenerife, we're still looking into cheap lodging
for there. Registration is free. The boat will
probably cost about 25 euros one-way (but I can't
assure that yet, that's the price I paid in october).
And I'd make an estimate of about 20-30 euros a night
for the hotel...
In any case, I hope to see many of you in just under
one month. I know about 150 students have registered
already....
If you have any questions or there's anything I can
help you with don't hesitate to contact me!
All the best,
Cristina
