Book Amtrak via Yale Travel. Actually, call Orbitz (no service fee) at 1-877-ORBITZ-1 (672-4891), since booking not yet automated through Orbitz website). Destination: Boston South Station (Corner of Summer Street and Atlantic Avenue, Dewey Square, Downtown Boston); then Red Line (southwest toward Alewife) from there to Cambridge. Kendall Station is closest to Memorial Drive (where, heading left (West) along Charles River leads to hotel). But still not very close.
ALA
[2005-03-03]
ALA New Orleans, June 22-June 28, 2006. Drive between Louis Armstrong Airport and Bourbon St. takes about 26 minutes. Stay at New Orleans Marriott, 555 Canal Street, phone: 504-581-1000. ALCTS: Events by Day and Time.
Makes sense to register this time as member of the press. ALA Conference site has some information on press credentials, but doesn't say how to submit application, or how much the press pass costs. Called Lara at ALA 1-800-545-2433, ext. 5043. She wants me to fax galley proof to 1-312-280-5274, plus send another email message.
[2005-01-03]
Suspend UPS delivery; And USPS. Mail will accumulate at Brewery Street station (50 Brewery St., 782-7000). This doesn't always work, but sometimes you can also suspend New York Times delivery via their Web site.

Sarasota
Staying at the Jamaica Royale in Sarasota, Florida.
Continuing problems with United Airlines, which seems to change flight schedules once per week.
Now they've eliminated our final flight from Chicago to Newark. I specifically told them only to change the piece from Tampa to Chicago, for which we paid $220. Here's the latest itinerary from Travelocity:
UA649 18FEB DEPARTS NEWARK AT 245P ARRIVES CHICAGO OHARE AT 410P
UA1568 18FEB DEPARTS CHICAGO OHARE AT 710P ARRIVES TAMPA AT 1046P
UA1423 25FEB DEPARTS TAMPA AT 811A ARRIVES CHICAGO OHARE AT 1000A
Still, better I think to call United (1-800-864-8331) than Travelocity (888-709-5983, trip ID: 767490767780), since they're the ones I spoke with. United gives only busy signal, though, due to snowstorm possibly. Trying Travelocity now, left on hold for very long time. Pick up after about 10 minutes, told by agent to call again tomorrow afternoon, after things calm down. She understands problem and will look into it in the mean time.
