YOUR TRAVEL PLANS: Some of you may wish to stay in Gainesville through
Sunday, or Monday (March 14,15). On March 15, the first Erdos
Colloquium will be held here. The speaker is Ron
Graham of A T & T Labs Research.
On Sunday, 13March, I'm hoping that a number of us can have a
post-conference gathering and BBQ at Ginny or Poe Springs
(there are three springs within a 25 minute drive). In addition to providing a
pleasant environment for mathematics, these Springs have year-round 72degree
swimming, volleyball facilities, hiking trails, rental canoes. At Ginny
Springs one can go tubing.
The tentative plan is to leave for the Springs around 10AM on Sunday, and
drive back around 4PM. Naturally, some cars might leave earlier to get some
folks to the airport.

Of the several
The Holiday Inn—University Center hotel is the closest to the math dept.;
perhaps a 3 minute walk. It
has a Denny's restaurant downstairs, which I am not particularly fond of, but
there are several other restaurants within a 5 minute walk.
I like the nearby Chaucer's restaurant, which has a
limited, but good, menu, and which is open for breakfast/lunch/dinner. There
is also a bagel place
right across the street from the hotel, as well as
Leonardo's pizza, both of which are pretty good. The latter is something of a
student hangout; it serves various fancy forms of coffee. There is also a
good, interesting, Berkeleyesque (but tiny) restaurant called Rhapsody across
the street from the Holiday Inn.
The Radisson Hotel is a long walk from the department;
there is a free shuttle for conference
participants. I've not dined at its
restaurant, but I've been at a catered event at the hotel, and the food was
quite good.
WEATHER: In March, the days are usually sunny and brisk. You may want a sweater for evenings. Available is the average weather conditions for March, as well as a forecast of Gainesville weather for the week to come.
