On hotels for SHA 2001. Please do look at the SHA homepage (under
the Long Beach Meetings 2001) as they list a specific hotel with
a reserved block of rooms very close to the Queen Mary. I think the
room rates are similar to the Queen Mary. All this information is
given at that source.

There may be less expensive rooms away from the dock site as the
our colleague points out but I do not have any data of such hotels.

You should be reserving your rooms NOW (!).

Is any member of the SHA Conference Committee on this list who could
give more details?
