Traveling to Mexico

The workshop will be held in Cozumel, Mexico on July 14-17, 2008, immediately after the International Conference on Clouds and Precipitation (ICCP) in Cancun on July 7-11, 2008.

IMPORTANT: Due to size of our group, we will not hold the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday plenary and breakout sessions at the Playa Azul hotel. Their meeting space is too small. Instead, we must move the group to Hotel Casa Mexicana in the center of town of San Miguel. We have marked this location on the map on the last page of the link below: "Detailed information on travel and lodging". It is ideally located in the center of town providing many options for lunch and is 5 km from the host hotel for most guests. We are planning to arrange taxi/van service from Playa Azul to Casa Mexicana each morning on Monday through Wednesday. There may be a small fee of approximately $2.00 (USD) per person for the taxi to the meeting location. Then, on Thursday morning, the plenary session will be held at Playa Azul because Casa Mexicana had a prior meeting scheduled.
