Feb 20, 2005	There is a sudden and limited-time-only airfare war and drop in prices between islands on Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines. This would be your best opportunity to book flights to the neighbor islands before or after Microscopy & Microanalysis 2005 in Honolulu this summer. Fares are as low as $69 each way, and we haven't seen anything like that in quite awhile Both airlines also have decent fares from selected cities, mostly on the West Coast. I suspect Hawaii will have a banner tourist season this year, so I recommend looking at fights and hotel packages sooner rather than later. More tips as I hear about them! Aloha, Tina (LAC Chair)
Feb 18, 2005	The Deadline for submission of Manuscripts has passed. If you would like to submit a late breaking poster contact the Program Chair Bob Price Price@med.sc.edu
