I see. Then, have someone, or a voice synthesizer, read that documentation to you out loud. Kick back on the couch and listen to it. Create an image, or flowchart, or sense, of what's in it. Then do it again.

Write out your image or flow or sense on a yellow pad. What's on that pad is 150% of what you need in your presentation: 50% to the slides, the rest to your discussion.

Yes, although that's not a route UA serves nonstop. IAD-HNL requires a connection at ORD, LAX, DEN, or SFO.

Yeah, this was my game plan. I'm putting together the nuts and bolts of the presentation and then will map out and write a loose script for what I'm actually going to say. It's a WebEx conference so there's nothing saying I can't simply read from my paper and give myself cues when to go on to the next slide. I feel somewhat better knowing that I had something close to a sound plan in mind.

I don't think that the posts will count; however, that's not what I was :mad: about.

The wrong has been righted. :D

It wasnt too bad....The worse part is they wake you at 5:30 am and send you home. I usually get up at 8 am. I am going to be tired today. And unlike SBM12 and others I didnt get a cool FM line to France in a private jet. :(
