<P>I just played around with Google Maps and came up with the following - looks like the distance is less then a mile so we can probably walk.</P> <P> </P> <P> <TABLE class=summary> <TBODY> <TR class=milestone onclick="openInfoWindow('start')"> <TD class="name link"><A onclick=this.blur() href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>Start address</FONT></A>:</TD> <TD class=value id=panel_start>265 Peachtree Center Ave NE<BR>Atlanta, GA 30303<BR></TD></TR> <TR class=milestone onclick="openInfoWindow('end')"> <TD class=name><A onclick=this.blur() href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>End address</FONT></A>:</TD> <TD class=value id=panel_end>152 Luckie St NW<BR>Atlanta, GA 30303<BR></TD></TR> <TR> <TD class=name>Distance:</TD> <TD class=value>0.8 mi (about 1 min)</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P> <DIV class=reverse><A onclick="return loadUrl(this.href)" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&sll=33.761567,-84.385911&sspn=0.014574,0.033817&saddr=152+Luckie+St.,+Atlanta+GA&daddr=265+Peachtree+Center+Avenue,+Atlanta+GA" target=_blank><FONT color=#0000cc>Reverse directions</FONT></A></DIV> <DIV class="printspacer noscreen"><FONT color=#0000cc></FONT> </DIV> <P> <TABLE class=steps> <TBODY> <TR onclick="showPolylineBlowup('d', 0)"> <TD class="num noprint"><A href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>1</FONT></A>.</TD> <TD class="num noscreen">1.</TD> <TD class=desc id=panel_0>Head <B>north</B> from <B>Peachtree Center Ave NE</B> - go <B>238 ft</B></TD></TR> <TR onclick="showPolylineBlowup('d', 2)"> <TD class="num noprint"><A href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>2</FONT></A>.</TD> <TD class="num noscreen">2.</TD> <TD class=desc id=panel_2>Turn <B>left</B> at <B>Baker St NE</B> - go <B>0.1 mi</B></TD></TR> <TR onclick="showPolylineBlowup('d', 4)"> <TD class="num noprint"><A href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>3</FONT></A>.</TD> <TD class="num noscreen">3.</TD> <TD class=desc id=panel_4>Continue on <B>Baker St NW</B> - go <B>0.2 mi</B></TD></TR> <TR onclick="showPolylineBlowup('d', 7)"> <TD class="num noprint"><A href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>4</FONT></A>.</TD> <TD class="num noscreen">4.</TD> <TD class=desc id=panel_7>Turn <B>left</B> at <B>Williams St NW</B> - go <B>0.2 mi</B></TD></TR> <TR onclick="showPolylineBlowup('d', 10)"> <TD class="num noprint"><A href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>5</FONT></A>.</TD> <TD class="num noscreen">5.</TD> <TD class=desc id=panel_10>Turn <B>left</B> at <B>Andrew Young International Blvd NW</B> - go <B>209 ft</B></TD></TR> <TR onclick="showPolylineBlowup('d', 13)"> <TD class="num noprint"><A href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>6</FONT></A>.</TD> <TD class="num noscreen">6.</TD> <TD class=desc id=panel_13>Turn <B>right</B> at <B>Carnegie Way NW</B> - go <B>0.1 mi</B></TD></TR> <TR onclick="showPolylineBlowup('d', 17)"> <TD class="num noprint"><A href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>7</FONT></A>.</TD> <TD class="num noscreen">7.</TD> <TD class=desc id=panel_17>Turn <B>right</B> at <B>Cone St NW</B> - go <B>0.1 mi</B></TD></TR> <TR onclick="showPolylineBlowup('d', 20)"> <TD class="num noprint"><A href="javascript:void(0)" target=_blank><FONT color=#551a8b>8</FONT></A>.</TD> <TD class="num noscreen">8.</TD> <TD class=desc id=panel_20>Turn <B>right</B> at <B>Luckie St NW</B> - go <B>0.1 mi</B></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P>

<div></div>At the New Orleans FF, I made it back from Bourbon Street to the host hotel (thank you for carrying me hun!!!) and that was WAY over a mile. But I don't recall the walk...could have been a mile, could have been 20...I just remember waking up with a horrible headache, and a hottie next to me..hmmmmmmmmmm. So I'm liking the close proximity of this one!

I will be walking to the event.... and stumbling on the way back.
