Hi Christine,
Thanks for reminding me! 
No I made my plans kind of late last year and stayed about 3 miles away, but a few blocks from the Earl Street exhibit. It was in walking distance, but I took a cab at $20 a pop
I want to stay there so that I don’t have to go outside by myself or walking around like I did in London and Amsterdam at night. I know that London is different than baca, but after hearing about those muggings, hubby is not happy about me going to these events alone.
Let’s stay in-touch then so that if we have to both stay at a dump it can be at the same place. 
hehe
I want to get my stuff paid for asap.
