Here is the basic information for the SEP 2006 meeting. All conference events will take place at the, Estancia La Jolla Learning Retreat, which is situated on the outskirts of UCSD. The address is:

Estancia La Jolla
9700 N. Torrey Pines Road
La Jolla, CA 92037

The meeting dates are: THURSDAY, MARCH 23 THROUGH SUNDAY MARCH 26. Papers are planned throughout Friday and Saturday. There will be receptions on Thursday and Friday evenings. The annual banquet will be held on Saturday evening. On Sunday, tours will be arranged to local places of interest.

MEETING AGENDA

REGISTRATION

The registration fee is $90.00. Due to a generous contribution from the UCSD Department of Psychology, this registration fee will cover less than half the actual cost of attending the meeting. This includes, for both Friday and Saturday, a deluxe breakfast buffet, continuous morning and afternoon refreshment breaks, a hot lunch buffet, receptions on Thursday and Friday evenings, audio-visual equipment, and other associated expenses. The fee for attending the banquet, for both registrants and for companions, will be $40 per person, with UCSD again providing more than half the actual cost.

To register, please make out a check to UC Regents. If you plan to attend the banquet, a single check that covers both registration and banquet would be easiest for us, though separate checks for registration and banquet would be fine also. Please send the checks to:

Marla Nichols
Department of Psychology
University of California, San Diego
9500 Gilman Drive, #0109
La Jolla, CA 92093-0109

ROOM RESERVATIONS

A block of 40 rooms has been reserved with the guaranteed special rate, for both single and double occupancy, of $199.00 per night. Participants are asked to contact the Estancia directly to make reservations, by telephoning 877-437-8262. Please identify yourselves as described in my broadcast email. The block of rooms will be held until January 23, 2006, so please make reservations as soon as is convenient. After this date, reservation requests will be accepted on a space-available basis at the hotel's best available rate.

In case you would like to extend your stay in La Jolla (see below for places to visit), the group rates will be honored for attendees three days before group arrival and three days after group departure, subject to availability.

TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

The Estancia is roughly a 20-minute drive from the San Diego International Airport, and one can easily take a cab or rent a car at the airport. Visitors staying at the Estancia have access to a free shuttle 6 am-10 am, and 4 pm-7 pm, daily, on a first-come first-served basis, to a destination of their choice within a 5 mile radius of the Estancia. The hotel will also arrange (with charge) for transportation outside this time range or mile parameter.

SOME PLACES TO VISIT

A. Very close.

From the Estancia, one can walk to the Torrey Pines Gliderport and watch both experts and novices attempt to take off and land on the cliffs above the ocean. Adjacent to the Gliderport is the scenic Torrey Pines Golf Course, considered one of the nation's foremost municipal golf facilities. Further beyond lies the Torrey Pines State Reserve, which has beautiful ocean vistas, and should provide a spectacular display of wildflowers in March. From there one can hike down to the Torrey Pines State Beach.

B. 5-15 minutes' drive away.

Scripps Birch Aquarium, with its extraordinary collection of marine life, is about a 5-minute drive from the hotel. La Jolla Shores Beach is situated about a 10-minute drive away. La Jolla Cove is particularly scenic, with tide pools, caves, and many grassy areas. It is about a 15-minute drive away from the Estancia, and abuts downtown La Jolla.

C. Whole-day trips.

Balboa Park features many museums, performing arts groups, botanical gardens, and hiking trails. It houses the San Diego Zoo, which alone is easily worth a one-day trip. Sea World houses an extensive collection of marine life. Old Town San Diego provides visitors with a sense of San Diego's historical roots in an attractive setting.

We look forward to welcoming you to SEP 2006.
