Dear  All,
Today I made my travel reservations for Amtrak. I also  checked on the 
Tri-Rail schedule for both my arrival on May 22 and return on  May 25 (Memorial 
Day). I found that we have an issue with the return trip! The  train leaves 
Deerfield Beach at 12:48 and wPB at 1:27. The problem is that the  Tri-Rail 
train runs with a two-hour headway, leaving Boca at 12:32 arriving in  
Deerfield Beach at 12:39 and leaving Boca at 1:04, arriving in WPB at 1:34. On  
this schedule, there is only nine minutes between trains in Deerfield and  
arrives 7 minutes late in WPB.
The Embassy Suites will only  transport within a three-mile radius and 
Deerfield Beach is seven miles from  the hotel and WPb is nearly 30. We are 
looking into van transportation to  carry us to deerfield Beach and need to know 
how many delegates will be  traveling via Amtrak. If you - like Merry and 
me - have already made  reservations with Amtrak from WPB, you may wish to 
reconsider the departure  city for the return to save on transportation costs. 
In the meantime, we would  like to know how many people will need 
transportation to Amtrak so we can get  a quote on transportation. Please reply to 
this message with this  information.

Fraternally,
Marion  Gwizdala-Schoch
