Hotel and Travel Plans
Since most of us are enjoying at least a little break from the classroom over the holiday season, this seems like a good time to make your travel plans for ICFA 2005 if you haven't already done so.
Information about hotel rates and registration is available on the IAFA website. If you're hoping to save a bit of money by sharing a room, try posting a message to the IAFA listserv.
As Bill Senior reminds us every year, it can be difficult to get a flight out of Fort Lauderdale on Sunday, so it's better to book as early as you possibly can, especially if you really can't stay an extra vacation day and fly out on Monday instead. Some people might prefer to fly out of Miami instead; there are directions for getting from Miami to Fort Lauderdale by shuttle or train posted on the website.
Finally, of course, don't forget to send in your registration fees (and renew your association membership at the same time). Conference rates increase on January 1, 2005, and on-site registration will cost even more, so fill in that form soon. And remember not to use last year's address, as Registration Co-ordinator Katy Hatfield has moved. If you didn't receive the form in the mail, a downloadable and printable version is available on the website.
