| EMAIL UPDATE #8 Only 2 months to go for the time of your life! The final schedule is available for viewing on the website, and it will have only minor modifications from this point on. We have to admit, the program will be awesome. Abstracts are already available for viewing on the website, so that one can plan which sessions to attend. Participants will have a truly international, cross-cultural experience. In these times of international conflict, the good will and collaborations that will develop at this Congress are things we can do to make this a better world. Transportation from the Kona airport to the Congress Hotel, the Hilton Waikoloa Village can now be easily arranged online through Speedishuttle. This company will provide a special conference rate of $15 one way, or $28 roundtrip, if you identify yourself as being with the Psychosomatic conference at the Hilton. Make advance reservations specifying your arrival flight number and time. Then, when you retrieve your baggage, use the courtesy phone to dial number 65. The van will be in their airport waiting area, and will pick you up in 1 minute. All the information is on our website. Exhibits will be present throughout the Congress. Exhibitors include pharmaceutical companies, book publishers and others. Exhibit space is sold out. Here are some more touring tips to add to those in previous updates. You cannot go wrong with ocean activities: A sunset dinner cruise, a snorkel cruise, scuba diving, sea breeze sailing, rafting, kayaking, surfing, or just floating on a raft. Take a power-driven snorkel ride on a "torpedo". Go whale watching. Humpbacks are not in season in August, but many species make Hawaii home year around. Did you always want to go sport fishing? Now you can fish for Marlin, Mahi-mahi, tuna, and others at very reasonable prices. Recent ads are $59.95 for one, or charter a boat for $200 for 6 people. Do you like hiking? This is heaven, we will not say any more. The old email updates have been posted on our website. Check them for other tips. And do not hesitate to email us with questions. Advance registration ends in a little over a month. And do not forget, friends and family can reserve rooms at the special Congress rate without having to register for the Congress. See you soon in paradise!
