RE: COMMON at Gaylord Palm, Orlando

I've also found the hotel phone fees to be exorbitant but I also found that
if you ask ahead of time they quite often have Plan II which is only gouging
instead of pillaging, looting, and gouging.
 
Don't all the conferences deal with this is in their hotel negotiations? The
New England Conference in Framingham Massachusetts in the Spring of each
year does, I believe. A mighty fine conference it is, too.

Just a word of warrning:
 
It's not just the Gaylord Palms that charges exorbinant amounts for LD,
hotels are notorious for it, that's why whenever I travel I stop @
Walmart and get one of those .05 minute calling cards. Just make sure
they also don't charge crazy amt's for local or 800 access also!!

Leo,
 
Last I heard, Midrange-L had over 900 subscribers. How many people do
subscribers talk to that don't subscribe to the list?
 
Thanks for giving us the heads up about Gaylord Palms. I hope COMMON
takes note.
