Thanks friends.
Jazz- I already have a trip planned for September LOL.
EQ- getting a room is really not difficult in this city, but the prices are outrageous. I would pay more for a furnished room than what I pay in rent for my 2 BR apartment. Money is very tight, but I'll make it happen if I must.
Minnie--can't wait to be out of this mess. I don't know who would win that challenge Minnie LOL. We sure know how to pick 'em don't we?
