hawaii: a bit far away (takes me including travel and jet-lag a week extra)

place: Hilo might have been a nicer place (restaurants, near vulcano park)

ok

ok, although i could not connect my pc-wireless (probably due to 54g trickery)

yes

>7)      DID YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH HOTEL ACCOMMODATION?

quite large scale, no nice (affordable) bar for informal talks, no proper 
(affordable) breakfast capacity

>8)      WERE HOTEL CHARGES AS YOU EXPECTED?

sure, since there were known at forehand; although the automatically added 
portage was strange (but could be removed when discussed with management)

>9)      DID YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSPORTATION?

no

>10)     COMMENTS?

better have conferences closer to spots of interest (in/near old big city 
with nice diner/after-diner capacity, or in case of hawaii, closer to 
vulcano park --one had to hire a car and take a conference day to get there--)

location for banquet was sub optimal: no facility for stand-up speakers, 
not intimate and no place to talk afterwards; too much focused on eating -)

>11)     REMARKS


conference room + beaming was quite good
