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

You can take a brown car right out lobby entrance for $5 for everyone in car or ask a friend  who drives to take you to Publix.

You can hook up with member or friend and get around together. You have two years to work on solutions. A positive attitude helps, too.

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.
