Great info! Have not yet decided whether to fly or drive out. If Rosie's with me by then, I bet we'll drive - it'll be cheaper than two tickets. You're about 14 hours away but really once you factor in airport time and getting out to you it's not that much longer to drive. Specially if I disobey posted signs.
I'm pretty sure I can rent camping equipment pretty cheaply through school, so if some of the gals want to rough it, I can get a tent and they can just bring sleeping bags. I'll leave the couches for the old folks ;-p
If your driving... we can perhaps meet you and caravan for extra security.
