Send that list of URLs on to me, Dave, and we'll add it to the official conference webpage. And I encourage everyone to visit the conference webpage at www.alsb.org and check out all of the information my incredible conference assistant, Shelly Whitmer, has made available about activities and events in the Tampa Bay area.
And no, I didn't solicit this testimonial from Dave, but yes, he is my new best friend for having made it.
See you all in St. Pete on Aug. 8-12! And make those hotel reservations NOW! Remember, first-come, first-served.

Subject: Re: Update on Airports for St Pete conference
I just got back from a mediation in Tampa and stayed at the Vinoy. It is an outstanding hotel. In fact, I was reading Tampa Bay Magazine's "Best of Tampa Bay 2006" edition on the plane back this afternoon and this is what it had to say about the best hotel in the area:
"Best Hotel--The Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club
This hotel is the best in the Tampa Bay area, and each of its five restaurants serve first-class meals in different settings and styles. Everything in this establishment is first class. You will never want to stay anywhere else." (at 63)
Getting to and from the (Tampa) airport was very easy. This morning the elapsed time from when I left my room @ the Vinoy, drove to the airport, returned a rental car, got a coffee, went through security, and arrived at my gate...was 45 minutes....
I got a bunch of brochures for things to do in Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater (museums, some new concert listings, public transportation, nature walks etc) and am going to make a list of URLs for websites. If you want a copy, please reply to my e-mail account: [log in to unmask]

PS--I'm not really a "sunsets' kind of person, but I have to say that watching the sun set over the Gulf was an amazing and wonderful experience.

Subject: Update on Airports for St Pete conference
As discussed in earlier ALSBTALK messages, most people flying to St. Pete for the conference will find the Tampa Int'l Airport to be their best bet. (This is regularly ranked one of the best airports in the country, and with good reason.)
However, I would encourage you to check out flights into the St. Pete/Clearwater Int'l Airport as well. This is a small airport with limited daily flights (mostly from the East Coast, Midwest, and Canada, I believe), but if you find an airline that works for you, it can often be quite a bit cheaper to use this airport. I have not flown into this airport myself, but my husband has and says that it is small, efficient, and comfortable. He highly recommends it.
Information on the airports and on ground transportation from the airports to the Vinoy can be found on the conference website at www.alsb.org.
And don't forget to make your hotel reservations SOON!
See you all in St. Pete on August 8-12!
