Hello Everyone!,

Many of you know this already, but if you did not already hear, we have had to change our overseas air carrier.  We are now going on Delta.  All the changes, I think, are for the better as we now have non-stop flights and will have a little more time in Istanbul at the beginning and in Rome at the end of our trip.  However, if any of you were planning to meet us in Atlanta or leave in Atlanta at the end of the trip and make a connecting flight out of Atlanta, the times of the Delta flights are slightly different than those on Luftansa and you should review these times carefully.  At this point, I do NOT know of anyone making connecting flights in and out of Atlanta.  As far as I know, you all are going with the group from Lee and -- with the exception of several staying in Rome to tour Europe and return later -- you all will all be returning to Lee from Atlanta.  Please let me know if that is not correct.  Those staying in Europe and not returning to Atlanta are Don, Adam, and Andrew Garner, John and Connie Wineland, and Nicole Moran.  If this is not correct, please let me know.  Thanks!!

I will be in England from May 14-31 but can respond to email, so please let me know if you have questions.  A more complete itinerary with hotels and contact info. will be coming if possible by the first week in June.

Remember the meeting time is 8 AM in the Behavioral and Social Science parking lot (near the Tennis Courts on 15th St.) on Monday, June 9, for departure to Atlanta.  I anticipate our return to Cleveland and Lee will now be about 9 PM on June 25.  Please remember to bring your passports and Turkish visa receipts.  If you did not previously get your passport back, either I have it (for Osirus, Jake, Ben Barnett, and Abraham) -- or Dr. Wineland has it (for Marion, Patricia, and Jamie).
