649.0. "Help requested from ISO,IST,..." by FILTER::LIFLAND (Saying PLEASE is polite DEMANDING) Mon Feb 20 1989 16:29

Sholom ISO (or IST,ISV,...)

	   On April 11  I shall be arriving in Israel (with my wife and two
	children) to for a two week visit of my parents and other assorted 
	friends and relatives.

	   No I don't need the name of a good hotel or the price of a airline
	ticket (I am booked on ElAl and will be staying at the Sharon). This
	is my fourth trip and I have enough relatives so I don't need a list 
	of sights or good kosher Chinese restaurants. My requests are quite
	simple. 
	   First, This being my first trip since I have become a legitimate
	DEC employee, I thought it would be enjoyable to tour different 
	DEC sites and meet new and different fellow Bagelites (sp). I'll
	even buy a round of coffee (or whatever).
           Second, because I will have several projects in-progress when
	I leave, I would like to establish a means (ie vaxmail) in which
	my group manager could reach me without having to make a international
	phone call to my Hotel (which I will only be sleeping at). The ability
	for my manager to send VAX-mail to the ISO office and for them to
	make a local call would be greatly appreciated. Even better, if I could
	visit ISO and use a terminal to check my mail over the network would
	be a great help.

P.S.	By the way ElAl has a family plan (airfare). Two weeks after I made
	my reservation, my travel agent called me informing me that there
	had been a price change. When she confirmed the price it turns out
	I had saved about $600 because I was now on family plan. I'm not
	sure if this is a "new" plan but the price is now reasonable. 

		each adult  $799  round trip
	1st child 3/4 fare   599    "    "
	2nd-??th  1/2 fare   399    "    "

	Maybe this is not cheep, but for a peak travel season you could do
	worse

    Mark,

>>  On April 11  I shall be arriving in Israel    

    You picked a very nice time of the year to visit Israel (Pesach),
    its not too hot.
    
>>  ticket (I am booked on ElAl and will be staying at the Sharon).
   
    If you've booked the Sharon in Herzliya, you are very near the main
    DIGITAL office. Its a 10-15 jog from the hotel to the DIGITAL
    buildings :-)
    
    If you contact me off-line, we'll see what we can do.
    
    Regards,
    						..... Monty @ISO

    	    up by the DIGITAL building.

    Hi,
    
    I always find that reasons are easy, money is secondary,
    but convincing oneself about the practicalities is far more
    difficult!
