[Air-l] AIR in Vancouver in 2007?

[Daniel Skog]

Dear all,

I attended the Toronto conference and really enjoyed my stay. As has been 
mentioned already by others - Canada seems to be a good choice also for 
future conferences!

However - being from Scandinavia (Sweden in my case) I would of course 
welcome a Scandinavian alternative. In a European perspective Scandinavia 
is perhaps more expensive than some other countries, but not when compared 
with North American venues.

Right now I'm in the process of raising funds for a trip to Brisbane. I'm 
praying for a miracle... ;-)
