The convention committee and some ACB board members, officers and staff have just returned from our fall visit to Jacksonville.
The Hyatt staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. All sleeping rooms have coffee makers (not Keurig), refrigerators and safes. There is a 24-hour laundry room on the 4th floor of the hotel. The Hyatt also features an exercise room, (open 24 hours) and an outdoor swimming pool.
The hotel and adjoining convention center (where the exhibit hall, general sessions and some of our meetings will be held) are both easy to navigate.
In addition to the hotel restaurants mentioned in my November article, there are several restaurants within walking distance of the Hyatt.
For anyone with a guide dog, there are a number of relief areas. Additionally, there is a large grassy area less than half a block from the hotel, with no streets to cross, and easy for even Krissy and I to find!
While in Jacksonville we visited many outstanding tour venues. Stay tuned for the tour reveal in the January issue.
May you have the best holiday ever, whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or another celebration. Wishing you a season of joy, love, good food, and time with friends and family.
