Subject agenda revised

Things are getting more settled.. I have tried to get a quantum computation person and 3 key people have said no.. I have an invitation to Charles Bennett at IBM in, and ifhe doesn't respond then I think we can give up.. Assuming we have no one in that area, I have revised the agenda..

It now gives 1-4 on saturday as free.. but we could all go to Jeffreys island at noon on sat.. and have lunch there as well. I thought of getting Arnoldo Falcon do do a snorkling/diving excursion on Saturday, which we could do, for those that are interested, off of Jeffrey's island in the afternoon.. we could even do the afternoon session there if there is an appropriate place.

Note that meeting ends earlier than it would have otherwise (i.e. 7 pm ), so we could perhaps go to Havana Blue on Sat night?

I have left Sunday afternoon free:.. I was thinking it could be free for people to do whatever they want (those who have not already left), and then perhaps we could do an evening event at coral park, like we did last time?

AV needs: hookups for laptops to projectors... blackboard.. that should do it.
