Ugh!!! You have my sympathies.
Rooms are blocked til Thursday as I am at our State Tourism Conference at Snowshoe. Although it is also MY good season, my NH cousin is taking his vacation at Hilton Head and will stop in at another cousin in NC Oct. 4 & 5. So I have also blocked Oct 1 - 8 to go to NC by way of MO.
Sister in MO bought 3 liters of Mexican pure vanilla extract for me last winter. I need to go get it before she heads back to Texas for this winter. Then to NC. Have to be back Oct 9 for a 1-nighter..
