Jacqui,

Thanks for the offer and normally I'd have said yes. Given my present
situation with my family I think it is impossible to make plans. When I
spoke with Dave this morning he said that are allowing them to go to the
corporate offices on Monday. They also left the hotel for a walk a little
while ago. However, it is unclear as to when he will be able to return
home. They are not even attempting to give them an answer as to when they
will be able to leave.

In regards to the Ashford. Maybe I didn't communicate very well. I like my
Ashford Traveler. When I first took spinning lessons I spun on a double
treadle Dundas Castle wheel. Talk about awesome wheel. I was a first time
spinner, sat down and spun reasonably well. That's why I'd like to try the
double treadle action for my current Traveler. Deanna
