Hi David, hope Hawaii is going well.
Have emailed you a couple of times over the months off site. Am picking
I am going in the spam bucket. 
Had a great time in New Orleans, well worth the trip.
There is a download that I paid for, which will contain presentations from the meetings,
but I am told it is just the information that went up on the screens. When I get it I
will let you know. I also bought two DVDs covering the last couple of years of presentations.
Am flying out through L.A. Sunday. The cheapest flight back to N.Z. was via Tahiti, 
so have 5 days there & hopefully will do a bit of diving.
Alan
