Dear colleagues,

Thank you all for your unanimous enthusiasm for the Proxy Uncertainty 
workshop. With the participation of a such a broad and excellent 
cross-section of the high-res paleoclimate community, it promises to be 
an exciting meeting.

I encourage you to book your tickets soon, as summer fares are already 
increasing. You can either fly directly into Trieste (code TRS), or into 
Venice (slightly cheaper, probably one less connection). The conference 
venue (International Centre for Theoretical Physics:  
http://www.ictp.it/) is a short taxi or bus-ride from the Trieste 
airport, or a longer bus or train ride from the Venice airport (140km 
distance). The conference will start early on June 9 and hopefully we'll 
have solved all sources of proxy uncertainty by mid-afternoon on June 
11th. The conference dinner will take place on June 10th.

Lisa Ianitti is our ICTP coordinator (copied above), and she will soon 
be sending you an official letter of invite and, more importantly, an 
accommodation booking form. Our conference room will be sea-side in the 
Adriatico Guest House, so I suggest you book a (sea-side) room in the 
Adriatico before they fill up.

Please Cc Lisa on your travel arrangements, as they take shape, and let 
us know if you have any questions at this point.
We'll be drafting a detailed scientific agenda and sending it out for 
your review over the next months.

We look forward to seeing you all in Trieste this summer.

Sincerely,

Kim Cobb
