Hi Matt,

Yes I will be there at the Miami Metro Zoo for the dinner and benefit regarding Tomistoma. I am planning to be down in Miami from Wed-Sunday (Feb_2007.

Truly,

Paul Bodnar

Cool! I look forward to meeting you. Unfortunately, I'm flying down Saturday AM and returning Tuesday morning.

FYI, I'm gonna stay at the La Quinta Inn, Cutler Ridge...looks reasonable and has good traveler reviews.

I will be there!

Is this hotel close to the Zoo and what are the rates?

Matt Harris Jan 02, 2007 03:52 PM

Yeah, its about 3 miles from the zoo. Rooms were $135 tax...or $121.50 with AAA.

Just punch in Miami and it comes up #5. This site says 5m. Its still pretty close, relative to others. The thing that swayed me was that the 7 traveler reviews gave it 4 stars on Travelocity, mainly because it was clean and decent for the price.

Hey, Matt.

I have not received my tickets, but I'd be perfectly happy if they were waiting at the MetroZoo admission gate for me.
