We've stayed at the Swolphin when the kids were playing chess competitively and the US Nationals were there. It's been a while, but they were nice. I do remember the Christmas decorations--they were very pretty even back then. I know they've been refurbing both hotels over the last year or so.

I'm activating my AP at the end of Oct for our F&W trip. I'll get that one, NYE, spring break and RWA off of it, plus whatever else I can drop in.

I will definitely be talking once I finish up the novel--I'm about halfway through the draft and will be just self-pubbing on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited. I'm tricking my brain into doing it by pretending it's just a fic AU, which is no stress, right?
