four of my friends are going and have a room in the hotel adjoining the show building, their classes start Monday and then they have classes or lectures everyday thru Saturday morning...they are driving back Saturday evening....sigh, wish I would fit in their suitcases......the van does have a big tire well, but I would be a sorry replacement for the spare if they should need it. Sigh....... have fun dunster and be sure to visit quilt-in-a-day in SD, the werehouse is awsome.
