[tei-council] date, venue for next meeting

[Lou Burnard]

A rather cursory scan of lowest fares available on travelocity.com for 
the period May-Jun next year showed prices around $1000 for routes 
BWI-KIX and JFK-KIX. Also JFK-CDG at around $500. Both JFK-LHR and 
BOS-LHR are around $400

However, I think we agreed in thetelecon that our preference would be to 
go for Kyoto unles the costs turned out to be really silly. Which they 
don't seem to be so far.

Interestingly for Conall, I see that the best fare Auckland to 
Washington NZ air offers is just under 3000 NZD, while there is a direct 
flight to KIX for a paltry 2000 NZD. (But I don't know what the NZD is 
worth)
