We want to remind some ffolks  or inform others that if you are a

And follow the prompts.  Important remember to obtain the status 30 days in
advance of your arrival.  Our trips are door to door at a fee of $3.50 per

AM Track, Tri Rail, Bus Station and Airport isn't far but tickets are pricey
using a plane.  Cabs will be reasonable.  Yellow Cab:  954 565-5400.

Yellow Cab will take you from Am Track to the hotel for about $16.00.  All
cab rides are controlled by a meder, so the price can change according to
the traffic.  The caust can be devided by the amount of passingers that are
in the cab.  

The hotel has arranged to take people to or from the Am Track station for
$8.00 per person, but will not transport less than four at a time.  

This is Our Convention, meaning by the people,and  for the people.  We are
