Kaltxi folks,
Me again! Below is just a summary of the information generated so far pulled together as a reference for folks.
For anyone coming to the 4th June Meet-Up remember you need to book a room by 2nd May. After that any group reserved rooms not taken will be released. You may still book a room after that date, but they may get snapped up quickly by the general public. So strike whilst the iron is hot! Details of how to book can be found in issue 1 of the Ikran Newlstter hyperlinked below
Anyway enough of me waffling on, here it is:
The following covers getting to Seattle, things to know about the place and a number of suggested itineraries for the days before and after the
exhibition visit, plus possible places to eat together. Hope they of are use.
Transport Information:
Seattle seems a big place! Consequently, we are going to need transport of one form or another, whether this is from the airport or to get around Seattle. To help with this an information sheet have been drawn up with hopefully all the necessary information on how to get around Seattle. To be honest, getting around should be pretty easy as its public transport system appears to be world class! The information sheet gives a summary of the main forms of transport as well as arriving in Seattle. There are also links to two bus route maps and the Metro Transit system website.

Things to know about Seattle:
The majority of us will be new to Seattle and the phrase "When in Rome do as the Romans do" springs to mind. So to help with this a quick fact sheet has been produced with hopefully useful hints and tips to help us blend in. Follow the link below to download your PDF guide:

Restaurants:
Of course a Na'vi can't fight on an empty stomach and so the following information sheet provides information on a number of restaurants that might be of interest. Of course there are many more in Seattle, but these are a few that have been highlighted by visitor guides as suitable places and are also in close proximity to the Travelodge hotel.

Suggested Itineraries:
With the information gleaned from the survey it was decided to draw up some suggested itineraries for the Seattle meet-up. At the end of the day there is no point just turning up there and not have an idea of how to spend our time together. So a total of five itineraries have been pulled together. Please note these are only suggestions and everyone is perfectly at liberty to do whatever they wish. They are only there to give some ideas.
These have been pulled together based on the survey results and also to take in the venues covered by the Seattle CityPass (
Seattle CityPASS) and more! Below is a list of the five PDF itineraries to dowonload:
1. Pike Place, Aquarium and Shore Line

Smart Phone App:
For those with smart phones a useful app is
'citysearch', which knows where you are annd enables you to search the local area for various facilities, like banks, restaurants, shops, cafes, attractions etc. And the best thing it is free!
