[Blindtlk] [nfb-talk] Groceries at Convention

[David Evans]

Dear Alicia,

There should be some Publix food stores in the area, in some of the shopping 
centers along International Drive, along which a shuttle bus runs.  The 
hotel may have a hotel shuttle van as well, that can take you to one.
I am sure that the local Orlando NFB chapter will have that information 
available at the information table or you can get it from the hotel's 
conseare.
If nothing else, my wive is planning to make a run to a store, to stock the 
fridge in our room and maybe she can help you out.
There are lots of stores, shopping centers and many major atractions along 
the I-Drive as it is called in orlando.
I live about 3 hours south of orlando in the city of Boca Raton, but I have 
been to orlando many times to go to the theme parks and to visit my daughter 
who attended UCF some years ago.
It should not be a problem.
I hope this info helps.

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.
