I haven't attended for a couple of years, but I got used to the routine when I
was going.  It seems strange, but renting a car in San Jose and driving down
ends up being almost equal to the cost and time of air fare from San Jose/San
Fransisco to Monterey and is a whole lot more enjoyable.  I seem to remember
it takes 3 hours (with the wait between flights) to fly to Monterey and
considerably less than that to drive it.  Driving, you go down highway 1 (if
you dare) and get to see what I consider to be the best views in this country
(excluding the Applicaians in fall).  That is if you have time to look as you
negotiate the curves on highway 1.

With the schedule at FORML, you don't get much time to use a car, but it is
definitely worth taking the time after the conference to take a trip on the 17
mile drive.  It is a beautiful drive around the most impressive homes in the
area and through Pebble Beach golf course.  Highly recommended by all who have
take it.

Check the price of air fare from San Jose to Monterey against the cost of
renting a car for three days.  I haven't checked in a couple of years, but
when I last looked, there was not that much difference.

See ya there.   DaR
