Where is that?

Anne apparently has made off site reservations for us from the 12th to
the 
17th, but we probably won't be on site on the 12th.  Last year illness
delayed
us two days. I will most probably be on a handicapped scooter this year
too. Ours is older, heavily modified and has arm-supports that are 
quite unusual.

As for meeting places, anywhere not down a really steep hill or
near that insidious food court. Like being immersed in Liquid Smoke
last year. Washed our clothes out immediately upon returning to the
motel that night. If it happens to be at Thora's perhaps we could 
drive down the big hill and not get in serious trouble temporarily. 
We have a small green Windstar Van with handicapped accomodations.
