Back in Igls for Junior World Championships

Hello everybody! We arrived in Igls late yesterday afternoon, back to the same hotel we left two weeks ago, the Hotel Eagles-Astoria. Everything looks pretty much the same as we left it, but there are more hotel guests here now than before, most of them skiers, and many of them from France. Most of our rooms this time around are "apartments," so while the same number might be shared by up to five people, we are actually quite comfortable.

Contact info. The telephone number of the reception desk is 011-43-512-377481.

The hotel fax number is 011-43-512-377481-23.

It is possible to dial directly into the rooms, with some exceptions. If you have difficulties, try the reception desk number that I just listed. To dial directly to the athletes' rooms, dial

011-43-512-377481-xxx

37 Taylor, Jake, Andrew, Shane, Zac

213 Kate, Emily, Lea, Summer

308 Miro

311 Curtis

312 Robby, Aaron

The apartment that Pete and Keith are in unfortunately has no telephone line right now. I would suggest calling the front desk and asking for either of us in apartment 313.

Internet. You might remember that we had some difficulties with the wireless internet last time we were here. These were eased somewhat once I purchased a half-dozen LAN cables that provide direct in-room access. The system still sometimes seems to be over-burdened, so that getting online is never completely worry-free. But it is free and in the rooms, a big improvement over last week !!
