Thanks! • Hotel—same as last time, the DoubleTree in Santa Monica is fine. Checking in 12/15, checking out the next day • We do not need a conference room • Outbound flight: Sunday, 12/15, departing JFK at 11:40 am on Delta, landing at LAX at 3:01 p.m. • Inbound flight: Monday, 12/16, departing LAX at 8:32 p.m. on JetBlue, landing at JFK at 4:47 a.m. • If you could please make all flights refundable, that would be great — it's possible we'll need to rebook parts of this if witness availability changes or we're able to stay longer and meet with an additional witness. Thanks a bunch.
