I want to caution you all that while the bulk of the drive from Bellingham to North Vancouver is predictable, traffic at the US / Canada border is less so, and it might be wise to allow for some extra time sitting in the border lineup to get through.  NEXUS card holders have access to an express lane.

breakfast each morning in the hotel café upon check-in.

>Thursday, 
August 21st:  Meet & Greet beginning at 4:00 in 
Poppe’s Pub within Lakeway Inn & Conference Center.  Appetizers provided by PSUBS; attendees 
are responsible for their own drinks.  At the Muskegon convention the Meet & Greet morphed into dinner at 
the same location.  I expect the 
same at Bellingham.

>Friday, 
August 22nd:  Breakfast by order at The Oboe Café 
within Lakeway Inn.  Dive day.  The start and stop times for dive 
operations are dependent on the weather.  We also have a meeting room available at 
our hotel for tech sessions to the extent time allows.  The tech sessions will fit in before 
and/or after dive operations and will focus on updates by sub builders and open 
forum Q&A.   Dinner at a restaurant within walking 
distance of Lakeway Inn.

>Saturday, 
August 23rd:  Breakfast at The Oboe Café.  Depart no later than 8:30 a.m. for 
Nuytco Research, Ltd. at 216 East Esplanade, North Vancouver, BC.  Our time at Nuytco is scheduled from 
10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. with lunch at a pub nearby at each member’s expense.  This is our mega-tech session for the 
conference.  This is a fantastic 
opportunity for an up-close look at the latest technology and systems at 
Nuytco’s expanded facility.  http://nuytco.com/ 
> 
>Extra 
event:  The 
Vancouver Aquarium and Marine Science Center is directly on our route and about 
15 minutes away when we depart Nuytco.  We have the opportunity to tour it until it closes at 6:00 sharp.  http://www.vanaqua.org/   Bellingham is one hour south of the 
Vancouver Aquarium.  The group (as 
well as individuals) can decide to then have dinner at Whitespot Café in 
Vancouver, have dinner in Bellingham at a restaurant within walking distance of 
Lakeway Inn, or opt out of the visit to the Aquarium.

>Sunday, 
August 24th:  Breakfast at The Oboe Cafe.  Checkout time is 12:00 noon.  Many will be departing at various times that morning.  Some attendees are planning to stay over 
for an extra day.  For those who are 
interested we can have a meeting room after breakfast for an open session and 
Q&A.

>At 
the Muskegon convention our original dive day got rained out, and we held the 
dive day on Sunday instead.  A large 
number of attendees checked out of the hotel but delayed their departures until 
later in the day.  Some had earlier 
flights and had to leave as scheduled.  We have scheduled Bellingham at the driest time of the year, however we 
are making every effort to be ready to flex the schedule in response to 
weather.  One thing that will not 
vary is the Saturday session at Nuytco.  We all owe Phil a great debt of thanks and appreciation for hosting this 
day-long event.
