You will find attached our presentation file. It’s ready! I’ve also done some research on travel. Remember, the conference is a week away and we haven’t decided how to get there yet. Here are our options. Buses are the
1. {1} because the fleet is old and there are no stopovers. The train seems more relaxed and we have plenty of time to get some work done if needed. It2. {2} than I had expected, especially when compared to airfares.

Best,
Peter
