HOTEL RESERVATIONS
The meeting is being held at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel.
The hotel reservation deadline is 13 June 2005. You can
call the hotel at 504-561-0500 to make a reservation, or go
to the online site
http://www.neworleans.hilton.com,
or make a reservation from the SIAM meeting web site.
Be sure to say you are attending the SIAM conference, and ask
for the special rate of $125 a night or $100 for students.
(Note that SIAM warns that if you make a reservation through
the hotel web site, you won't automatically get the SIAM group rate.)
The address for the hotel is
Hilton New Orleans,
2 Poydras Street,
New Orleans, Louisiana, 70140
The hotel is on the river. There is a health club, six
indoor tennis courts, 3 racquetball and squash courts,
volleyball and basketball courts, a fitness center,
Nautilus Nitro Plus and free weights, Spin and Pilates classes,
a golf studio and two outdoor pools.
Nearby attractions include the Riverwalk Festival Marketplace
(0 blocks), Harrah's Casino, the Aquarium of the Americas (1 block),
the IMAX Theater (1 block), the National D-Day Museum (9 blocks),
the Arts District, the Louisiana Children's Museum (5 blocks), and
the Riverfront Streetcar (0 blocks) and the French Quarter (3 blocks).
GETTING THERE
Getting to New Orleans from Tallahassee is a 5 to 6 hour drive,
all of it on Route 10, which goes right into the center of town.
The only complicated part is getting off route 10 at the right
spot! People who drive to the meeting will be reimbursed a
standard mileage rate - I believe this is 29 cents per mile.
There is also a daily parking fee at the hotel, which is $24.64
a night (to be reimbursed).
