That's a real peculiarity of the Monterey area -- nearly all the tourist
attractions close around 6:00pm.  We decided to fly out really early (10:30)
on Sunday with the possibility of driving to at least a few of them before
they close. (We were also concerned about delays/cancellations).

the conference organizers realized a lot of families were comming this year,
because they've arranged with a tour company to do pickups at the conference
center.
