TRAVEL INFORMATION
1993-94 Annual Meeting, ASL
March 5-8, 1994, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA

Airlines:  Both USAir (800-334-8644) and Delta (800-325-2000) fly into
Gainesville Municipal Airport.

Hotel:  A block of rooms has been reserved at the Holiday Inn accross from
the University of Florida campus.  The Holiday Inn has a free shuttle
from the airport, and we have obtained a very favorable rate of $45/night
(single or double), if you mention ASL when you make your reservations
(1-800-HOLIDAY),(1-800-465-4329), or in Florida, (904-376-1661).
These rooms will be held only until Feb. 2, 1994, and will be released to the
general public afterwards.  However, if rooms are still available after that
date, the $45 rate will still be offered to ASL participants.  The recommended
second choice is the Rush Lake Motel (800-523-1996), which is close by taxi
or a 20-25 minute walk from campus.  A block of rooms, which will be held until
March 1, has been reserved there as well, and the room rate - again you
must mention the ASL - is $29 single or $33 double.  If you are not able
to obtain a reservation at one of these two hotels, other possible choices
include the Motel 6 (near I-75 and Archer Rd., 904-373-1604; $23-29), the
Casa Loma (904-372-3654; $24-28), the University Inn (904-371-3811; $25-30),
and the University Centre Hotel (904-371-3333; $55-65).

Transportation from airport:  If you do not stay at the Holiday Inn which has
a free service shuttle, the taxi fare is about $11 to the Rush LKake or
other nearby motels.

Registration fees:  The preregistration fee (for those registering by
mail, e-mail, or phone before Feb. 15) will be $30 for "grownups" and, as
usual, free for students.  On-site registration will be $40 for "grownups".

General tips:  The average daily temperature in Gainesville in March is around
the mid 70s, so lightweight clothing is recommended.  However, a light
sweater or jacket may be needed in the evening.

Restaurants located a short distance from campus include American, Chinese,
Mexican, etc.

A bulletin board will be available at registration if you wish to post
post-doc positions available at your university, suggestions for informal
group discussions during the meeting in an area of logic of particular
interest to you, or...an invitation for a group dinner or a tennis match...
