ARLA/CLUSTER: 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Cruising to the 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium

The 2016 *AMSAT Space Symposium* will be held aboard a commercial
*cruise ship* departing from the port of Galveston, Texas.

Sail dates are November 10-14 aboard the Carnival Liberty. Galveston is
conveniently located near Houston, Texas with access from both the
George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and the Houston Hobby
Airport (HOU.)

This cruise will embark on Thursday afternoon at 16:00 CST and return on
the following Monday morning at 08:00 CST. The trip includes two full days
at sea and one day in port at Cozumel, Mexico.
Symposium presentations and meetings will be conducted during the days at
sea to allow free time during the stop in Cozumel. The AMSAT Board of
Directors meeting will occur on shore at a Galveston hotel in the days
prior to the Symposium.

This year's cruise ship venue offers an environment for significant others,
families, and friends to attend the AMSAT Symposium event with you. Many
activities are available on a cruise ship including musical and theatrical
performances, comedy, dancing, and casino gaming. During the stop in
Cozumel there are many onshore activities and excursions available for your
pleasure. There will be no post-Symposium tour offered since this venue
incorporates the Cozumel visit.

In preparation for this upcoming Symposium it is recommended you
obtain a passport for travel as soon as possible. United States residents
may find the most convenient place to obtain a passport is their nearest US
Post Office. Not all USPS locations offer this service; check the US Postal
Service website:
