INDIVIDUAL OPTIONS FOR AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS

During your free time you may want to visit local restaurants or see some of the sights of Tampa and the Bay with your friends.  Simply jump on the Tampa Trolley that stops near the Hotel.  Area brochures and maps will be available in your welcome packet to give you ideas about other things and places to see.  Transportation is on your own.

Keep in mind that our special hotel rates are available three days before our event, and three days following our event, so that will give you a window of time to see much more of the area if that is your desire.

CLASS MEETINGS, INTEREST GROUPS, DISPLAYS

There are break-out rooms available to be used for class meetings, etc. If you would like to use a break-out room, or an author, craftsperson, or organizational representative and wish display space, contact Al Buckner at jamesb2755@aol.com.
