You do have to go through airport like security. They don't want you to sink the ship or bring in foreign plants (fruits and pot included) to the state.

How hard would it be to carry a couple of ozs of Acapulco Gold back from the cruise? Like, does Customs pat you down or use dogs or anything? Or do they just assume that anyone who can afford a week-long cruise has better things to smuggle than pot? ;-) Thanks! Rich

Oh, hell, then: They've _GOT_ to spend the money - just make something up! For a price, I can give you a week-long seminar in just about anything you want to study! Good Luck! Rich

7 days cruise would be: Los Angeles, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Los Angeles But we probably would not leave the ship anyway, since rooms and foods are excellent on-board. We can look into interfacing portable instruments with Micro/Avr (always on) to FPGA/Xilinx (on and off), including issues such as power regulations and monitorings, battery chargings, programmings and debuggings. If time permitted, board layouts and mountings (Micro-lead frames and Ball Grid Arrays).

We can book a 7 days cruise from LA to Mexico and do hand-on training/experiments with FPGA. How many are coming?

We have been encouraged to spend some of our remaining training budget
by taking a week-long seminar in September.  I am looking for something
concerning FPGA design, wireless networks, or just general engineering.
 My preference would be somewhere in southern California, but other
places may be negotiable.

Any suggestions?
