I wanted to pass on some travel information for those of you who are booking
flights, rental cars etc. for conferences and meetings.  I have used
www.previewtravel.com as well as the internet sites for the airlines to book
flights and rental cars over the past several months. The fares have been
lower than those my travel agent was able to find and many times they offer
bonus frequent flier miles. Hope this is helpful info.

Subject: October NSH convention in Providence


>Dear Histonetters:  Just a note to relate my experiences with the travel

>I called they didn't seem to have any idea about what convention or what
>special fares I was talking about.  The second time they had it right
>but they weren't going to give me the 15% off the airfare until I
>pointed out it was in their announcement and it really was over 60 days
>until October 15th.  If you rent a car from them, they quoted me $50 a

>with them) or doing some browsing on the Internet.
>For us west coasters, it's a 7 1/2 hour flight to get to Providence.  Be
