Things are coming together. I now know what buildings my appointments are at. Thank you to all that offered support.

The shuttle is on campus only. You can park in parking garage attached to the Davis Building or the Cannaday Building for $5. Outdoor parking is free and parking lot B is the most centrally located. The shuttle makes it's rounds at the pick up locations every 10 minutes. If you are unable to walk to the shuttle pick up location they have a service that will come to you at your car with a wheel chair.

Valet parking is available at the Davis building and the Mayo Building. Valet Parking is $8. The Valet closes at 6PM at the Davis Building and at 8PM at the Mayo building. After close any keys remaining are turned over to security. Parking garages make me nervous so I will likely use the valet to avoid the "April Showers".

The closest Catholic Church is Our Lady Star of the Sea. The next closest is St Paul's Catholic Church. They offer several mass times to include a daily 5:30 Mass. I will try to attend this one before I drive home.

They do have a priest on call the day I am there. If I wish I may request a visit upon my arrival.

I'm still deciding on lodging. I have a time share that I hope availability will open up to keep my expenses low. If not does anyone have experience with the Holiday in Express or the Hampton Inn? Is it a convenient location? Clean? I have diet restrictions so I need to bring my own food. Is there a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker in the rooms?

I might also mention at least for the one I'm familure with in Phoenix, Az the Mayo cafeteria has a microwave for both staff and patients to use who bring their own food. Not sure about Jacksonville but maybe its a Mayo wide policy. something to check out. I also stay out of town near Mayo when I have a full day so many times I get dinner at the cafeteria and take it back to the hotel,

I have Celiac, so must be 100% gluten free. I did find several places that offer gluten free. I am not sure what your diet restrictions are though,
