[Nfbf-l] Get Ready NFBF!!! National Convention Orlandomany yearsto come!!!

[Bill Kociaba]

Overall the hotel is a very impressive place.  Not really hard to get around 
other than the lobby.  I found when the lobby was quiet my dog and I did 
pretty well but during rush hour with a thousand kains tapping it was pretty 
diffacult to be sure of where I was.  Very easy to get turned around.  Once 
one is out of the lobby either in the area headed to the convention center 
or the lower lobby its pretty clear.
I have to put in my two cents about the comments that were made about the 
high cost of food.  This is a very high end resort and if we were paying the 
normal room rate I am going to guess many of us would not be staying there. 
The food and drink pricing was very high when you are talking about a place 
with $63.00 rooms but pretty much in line with a resort taht normally would 
charge $150.00-$200.00++ per night.It wasn't cheap but I can't complain 
about the quality of anything I had.  Food was good, drinks were strong and 
the staff was as helpful as you choose to let them be.
I would think with a group as large as the NFB there are members spread all 
over the US and it would probably be nicer for many if it did alternate 
between the east and west coasts.  However since I am in south Fl. the 
likelyhood of me returning in the future is much higher with it being up the 
road in Orlando.
