Okay, well I have just learned that the block of rooms Holiday Inn had set aside for us for the convention weekend are all booked up. Hopefully most of you have already regsitered at the hotel but if you haven't you will have to look elsewhere. And I am told that pickings are going to be very tight for three reasons. Its Daytona 500 weekend, the Cher concert in Jacksonville and, believe it or not, a Boat Regatta in Miami. Most of the hotel space along the east coast of Florida is booked. For your convenience I have listed here all the hotels in Jax within a 10 mile radius of the Airport Holiday Inn. No guarantee they have rooms. Hampton Inn..1170 Airport Rd Jacksonville, Florida 32218-2402 (904) 741-4980
