Receipt of deposit will be acknowledged by email and it is suggested
that Michael be emailed (

when your registration has been mailed.
It is also suggested that you begin planning your research when
you submit your initial registration.
Online preparation with Michael will begin when you register. Michael
will send initial suggestions and guidelines for problem submission
upon receipt of deposit. We do not want anyone to begin planning at the
last minute. Our trip group email list will begin in February where all
trip members are encouraged to communicate with each other and with
Michael. However, those who begin preparation early will get the most
out of their trip. You can call Michael at (309)-972-5011 with
questions (please indicate best time to return your call).
Hotel:
Reservations with the hotel are
made separately
from your registration
with Michael for the trip. We have arranged for a pre-tax rate of $82
per night with the
Salt Lake
Plaza Hotel. If you do not need a roommate
or if you already have a roommate for the trip, go ahead and call the
hotel (
800-366-3684, mention the Rootdig
group and the dates of the trip). You want to arrive and check
in on Wednesday May 14th. You want to check out on Wednesday May
21. We will be confirming our "room list" with the hotel a month before
the trip. If you do not have a roommate and need assistance in getting
one, please email Michael.
It is not necessary for you to stay at the Plaza. You can still
participate in the trip and make other lodging arrangements. Our
pre-library meetings will be at the Plaza if you choose to attend
those, but if you would prefer to stay elsewhere that is perfectly
fine. This is why our hotel reservations are made separately from the
reservations to participate in the research trip group.
Transportation:
Transportation to Salt Lake is on your own. If you need assistance in
making travel arrangements, please contact Michael. The Plaza hotel has
a complimentary shuttle from the airport as long as you arrive in Salt
Lake by 11:00 p.m.
