We have to institute a $20 conference fee in order to pay for the
refreshments. Our grant money cannot be used for this purpose.
You can use either Orlando, Jacksonville
or Gainesville airport. Jacksonville is fast, cheap, and about 90min
drive from Gaineville.
Runways Transportation offers a
shuttle between Orlando and Gainesville and also between Jacksonville
and Gainesville. On the way to Gainesville, do observe posted speed
limits. Orlando has many connections, 2hr drive to Gainesville,
ocassional traffic, and highway tolls of about $15 total round trip.
We can only reimburse car rental made with AVIS,
tel. 1-800-831-2847. AVIS offers one way rentals. Use their "Florida
State Rate" and Gainesville Paramount Resort station. The one-way
subcompact rental will come to about $30. Please
contact our secretary
Margaret if you want to rent a car; she will issue a document for
you to present at the AVIS counter. Please
give me your flight
numbers and arrival/departure time so that we can investigate
car-pooling options. Of course, the Gainesville airport is always an
option.
A good map of Gainesville can be found
here.
A good map of University of Florida campus can be found here . To get to Little
Hall by car, enter the campus at 13th St. entrance (at the intersection of SW 13 St. and 2nd Ave.) turn left and leave
your car at the gated parking lot in front of Little Hall. The gate is open during the weekends. Campus parking during the
weekend is free and requires no permit.
We have blocked rooms at the first three locations. Our secretary Margaret Somers prefers you to email her at msomers@ufl.edu with your choice of hotel
and dates and perhaps a roommate and she can make the reservations herself. In the past when people reserved on their own we ended up paying taxes
even when we did not have to.
