 == FAQ ==
-=== How will travel arrangements be made? ===
+=== Do I need to book travel and a hotel? ===
-Registered invitees will be contacted by a travel agency who will book their travel to Vancouver (employees will be contacting the travel agency directly). The travel agency will take your arrival information and arrange for you to be taken by bus along the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler. The hotel rooms are reserved and registration will take place at the hotel.
+If you received an invitation by email and filled out your RSVP form online, you will be contacted by us shortly with information about travel arrangements. An agency will help you book passage to Vancouver, and your room at the Westin Whistler will be reserved for you. When you arrive at the Vancouver Airport you will be taken by bus along the Sea-to-Sky Highway directly to the hotel in Whistler. At the end of the summit, a bus will take you back to the Vancouver Airport.
+(If you are an Mozilla Corporation employee, you should follow the instructions sent to you in an email sent April 29, 2008 titled "Mozilla Summit Travel" in order to arrange your flights.)
+=== What if I want to come early or stay late? ===
+When speaking with the travel agency, you may choose to arrange your travel such that you arrive early in Vancouver or stay a few extra days after the summit. Please note that any costs (hotel, food, bus, etc) associated with an extended stay will be at the attendee's own expense.
+* Mozilla has negotiated preferred rates with Westin Hotels for those who wish to extend their stay:
+** '''Whistler:''' Westin Whistler rooms at $209/night
+** '''Vancouver:''' [http://www.westingrandvancouver.com/ Westin Grand] rooms at $209/night
+** please contact [mailto:reservations@westinwhistler.com reservations@westinwhistler.com] to make reservations

 * '''Money:''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_dollar Canadian] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_dollar American] currency is accepted pretty much anywhere in Whistler. There are automatic teller machines which should have no problem drawing Canadian funds from international bank accounts.
-=== What if I want to come early or stay late? ===
-Employees and attendees may book flights arriving before or leaving after the summit if they want to spend additional time in Vancouver or Whistler.  We have negotiated rates for hotels and have provided information for transportation should you not be able to catch one of the Mozilla Buses, but it will be at the person's own expense.
-* '''Hotel Info:''' We have negotiated rate of $209 per night at the Westin Whistler and at the Westin Grand in Vancouver.
