DC 17 Annual User Conference
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2001
ACTIVITIES After a day of enlightening meetings, we will be heading by chartered bus
"South of the Border, down Mexico Way" for a scenic drive along Baja
California's Coast toward Rosarito Beach.
Our first stop will be Fox Studios for a private, behind - the - scenes tour at
a real working movie studio to learn firsthand about the production
process in an entertaining and interactive way. This studio was originally
built for the filming of Titanic and we will view actual props, sets and
costumes from the blockbuster film. We will also be given a sneak
preview of movies that Twentieth Century Fox has in the making. It
promises to be an educational and entertaining experience.
We will continue south of Rosarito Beach to the five -star Las Rocas
Resort for a lavish Mexican feast. We plan to eat outside in the
oceanfront palapa (open -sided with a thatched roof). The beauty and
ambience of this Pacific Ocean setting is said to capture the feel of the
Greek Islands and should be memorable.
Bring your companion and a sweater. Today's tour and dinner is included
as part of the conference fee.
