Also thanks a lot for your aamp for dummies post. It's saved me from asking questions here.

Get a GPS, car or handheld, have the PO text you the address. Tell them you use a GPS, it makes their life easier. (some will not text, but should give an address or an intersection over the phone). First time, allow time to get lost finding the right building, gate, door, etc. (you will) and spend sometime figuring out how the buildings are numbered and where the entry gates are before you call.

When you get there and call (5 minutes before appointment time), have something to write with and on. Don't try to remember codes and appt #s, you wont, especially the first nerve racking times. I use my iPhone notes for this. Repeat the info back to the PO to make sure you have them correct. I use a $20 VirginMobile (Walgreens) phone for hobby communications.

doh @ at my first two choices "coming back" this week. Maybe I'll get lucky but Ayaka and Nicole may take a while to see.

I assume a confirmation call is needed. So if 4pm appt, need to make confirmation call by 3pm (It's almost always an hour before). PO will tell you if confirmation call not needed. Will say "call when get there" instead of "call at 3pm for confirmation call".

PS. I submitted an updated/revised "Guide to Visiting an AAMP" to the clueless forum. If they don't approve and post it, I'll post it here,

Reviews for the most part look like they set expectations appropriately. As long as I know I'm getting sirloin instead of filet I won't be disappointed.
