Because we are almost constantly on the move during the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> field trip, it may be<br />
difficult for family and friends to contact you. Furthermore, we will be in some relatively<br />
remote areas where internet access may not be available or only available through a very<br />
slow dial-up connection that may be incompatible with the HWS and Union mail servers.<br />
Where internet access is available, it will likely be on a pay-for-time basis (~NZ$5 for 10-15<br />
minutes). You should plan ahead to call home. Phone cards with reasonable international<br />
rates can be purchased throughout <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong>. In an emergency, family and friends should<br />
try first to contact Pr<strong>of</strong>s. Kendrick or Arens using the mobile numbers provided on the web<br />
site (http://academic.hws.edu/Kendrick/OZ2008). Please note, however, that mobile<br />
