I   agree with Arnold about this. The hotel staff was outstanding, and it WAS 
nice to be able to get to such a variety of restaurants within easy walking 
distance. The food at the Marriott itself was good, too, for that matter. The 
fact that the Vietnamese and Mexican food did not quite come up to 
Orlando/Durham standards has to take into account that in Orlando and Durham I know where 
to go. There is also some bad food in Orlando (which has NO really good 
Mexican or Chinese that I have found, not anywhere) and Durham.

It was a WONDERFUL conference. Congratulations to all who planned this event.
