Hotel Information: Full information will be posted in fall 1998 in the
Linguist List. We have made definite arrangements with the David William
Hotel and The Biltmore Hotel (in Coral Gables). Conference participants
can stay at the David William Hotel at a negotiated rate of $99/night
and will have all privileges at The Biltmore Hotel (a luxury hotel in a
historic building) because both hotels are under the same management and
coorporation now. The Biltmore is only about four or five blocks away
and you can walk or take the hotel shuttle there. The conference will be
held at The Biltmore and at Florida International University.

If you wish to make early reservations, call the David William Hotel at
305-445-7821 and mention that it is for FIU's "Spanish in the U.S."
Conference March 11-13, 1999 at the agreed upon rate. Space is limited.


Note: Queries will be answered as soon as possible after August 16, 1998
and a conference registration form will be posted soon and can also be
mailed to you as early as fall 1998 at the start of the new academic
year.
