[Nfbf-l] Get Ready NFBF!!! National Convention Orlandomanyyears to come!!!

[Sherri]

I thought the hotel was really fairly easy to get around in. It just took a 
long time to get from point A to point B--lots of walking. Bailey and I only 
got really confused once and that was actually earlier on Friday. Don't 
quite know how that happened. Anyway, followed the crowd and figured it out.
