If you are planning to attend the MBSI convention in Philadelphia and
have not made your hotel reservations, be aware that the Adam's Mark
Hotel, the official hotel of the convention, no longer has any special
rate rooms available.  They will be happy to accommodate you in higher
priced rooms.  That is what I get for procrastinating.

There is a small hotel one and one-half blocks away from the Adam's
Mark.  It is a hotel -- nothing more, no restaurants, etc.  A single
runs $79.00 per night.

I will give you their name and telephone number provided you do not
hold me responsible if it is a flea bag, although my travel agent says
"flea bags" are _not_ listed in his computer.  I called the hotel and
they confirmed that they are a short walk from the Adam's Mark.

The North American Inn is located at 4444 City Line Ave and their
telephone number is 215-878-3100.  They seem like nice folks on the
telephone.  Hope this helps.

Good luck and see you there.
