US QL Show 2004
Quanta and NASQLUG are pleased to announce the US QL show to be held
24/25 April 2004 Saturday 10 AM to 5 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 3 PM at
the Days Inn International Drive, 7200 International Dr Orlando, FL
32819. Phone: 407-351-1200, Toll-Free in US: 800-224-5057, Fax:
.407-363-1182. Their room rate is $49.95 per night for 1 to 4 persons
(contact Diane at the hotel directly for this price). (Plus 11.5%
tax). However, rates as low as $35.95 are available at Discount Hotels
and Resorts US phone (800) 479-1406 or www.discounthotels.cc Make sure
to specify Days Inn at 7200 International Drive since there is another
Days Inn on International Drive. Orlando International is a major
airport with connections to all over the States plus Europe. Rental
cars are very inexpensive in Florida. There is a shuttle, $13, from the
airport to the Days Inn. However, if you will need a ride, contact Al
Boehm, and we will see what we can do. Reservations should be made as
early as possible as the area does get busy during the spring and room
sell out fast.
Disney's Magic Kingdom is super for kids and the young at heart, but
Disney World also has other sections more tuned for adults such as
Epcot (Future World and World Showcase) and Pleasure Island (the wicked
spot in Pinochio) with its 8 themed night clubs. Plus there are many
additional attractions in Orlando: Universal Studios Escape: City
Walk(show dinning, nightclubs, Hard Rock Cafe...) and Islands of
Adventure (Cat in the hat, Spider man and many more), GatorLand (1000's
of 'em), shop till you drop at Belz Outlet Mall and Mercado, Wet n
Wild, Sleuths, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Sea World (children under
six not allowed to swim with the dolphins), MGM - Broadway style
shows, Animal Kingdom, Orlando Science Museum, Bob Carr Performing
Arts, plus really mild weather during
this season. Along International Drive, there is every type of fast
food known to man plus some fine inexpensive restaurants as well as
restaurants of the finest class, and numerous cheap souvenir shops.
Dorothy Boehm will meet with the ladies at 10:30 to organize tours.
Those who arrive Friday can meet in the lobby at 6 PM to go eat
together. Saturday will have short demo's. Saturday night, at 6 PM, we
will arrange for a low cost dinner and have a short NASQLUG meeting
which all may attend. And perhaps some entertainment (the rock version
of the QL Fight Song?). On Sunday we plan to have longer workshop
training sessions including one on QDT. Since we expect children at
this show, we will have a special children's QL workshop focusing on
games and eye catching programs.
For further information, contact Al Boehm, phone: 256 859-8051 email:

The show committee is also looking for a volunteer in the Florida area
who could do some spot checking if needed on facilities, etc. This
position should involve a minimal amount of work at the most. Please
contact Al or Jim if you can help.
A web sight will also be up with information by January 1st:
http://www.jdh-stech.com/ql-usashow.htm An email and snail mail
mailing list will also be maintained to keep potential participants
fully informed of all plans and any last minute changes that may occur.
Contact with Al or Jim or follow the link on the web page to be added
to the list. For European snail mail users, please contact Jochen at
QL Today.
