Hi Carol,

 CS> Might not have to leave Sunday.  Monday is Memorial day.  I do however
 CS> have to work Tuesday (1 June).

As things stand now, Steve is not planning on taking Summer Sessions.
Between all the other plans we have, it just doesn't seem to want to
work for him to try to get any more classes in.  Next year may be
different,

 CS> Sure is!  The kids they hire today arent used to 'making do' or 'find
 CS> a way' and the previous holders of my job though no slackers, had to
 CS> use the company programmers to make things happen much more than i
 CS> have.

Sounds like it wouldn't hurt for the kids to do a hitch in the military.
(G)  One year we were just at the point of Steve's retirement ceremony.
Pack out was a couple of weeks later, leaving Savannah on April 14.

Besides that, you get to try some new foods, retry some you've not had
in years.  If you go to Oahu, I can recommend some places to eat that
may not have been there when you were stationed there.

 CS> Hehehe working vacation.  Alternate is will be in San Diego in April

What's your 2nd choice?  I know HI is your first. (G)

 CS> Nope!  Thats fan weather at most usually here.  Jim Weller would be
 CS> the one sitting under the fan.  The rest of us wouldnt care or may
 CS> want a light jacket.


Today was light jacket weather, tomorrow is supposed to be the same.
Colder on Friday thru the week end, with the possibilty of frost Friday
night.

 > it's maybe a 4-5 (counting in breaks) trip.

 CS> Yup.  Same for Dale and Gail.  Sean and Maura too?  (where is he now?)
 CS> 8-10 hours for Janis by car.

Counting breaks, it was about a 9 hour trip to PA, same, back this past
week end.  Upcoming trip is about 12 hours straight but we'll do it over
a couple of days.



 > Fresh seafood available at a reasonable cost?  Does Charlotte want me to
 > make another batch of meat balls? (G)

 CS> Fresh seafood everywhere just like where you are.  Meatballs!  Yes!


We're inland now, not the coast.  It's about 2-3 hours for fresh, on the
coast seafood.  Meatballs--see the earlier suggestion.


 CS> I did some more BnB searches for you guys and while we have some
 CS> really good ones, I dunno if you want the 190-220$ a night rates I was
 CS> able to find.

It'll be a reasonably prices hotel for us.  The idea of a B&B is nice
but the budget is vetoing it.
