Greetings,
The transition of the annual ARVO meeting from Sarasota to Ft.
Lauderdale has brought with it the "stress" of finding new places to eat and
sleep. As a service to fellow members, I would like to put together a list
of "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" regarding food and lodging in Ft.
Lauderdale. If I get enough replies I shall compile the results and post
them on the web. Please e-mail your replies to: ckittila@gsbs.gs.uth.tmc.edu
In an attempt to make these results more informative and somewhat
quantitative, I have listed suggested categories by which to rate these
places. If you do not wish to address every point, just drop me a line with
a short commentary.
Thanks, Chris Kittila.
