: I received a phone call about 30 minutes ago from the Geneva saying there had been a fire, and they were closing for a couple of weeks for repairs. The first report was that though they expected to be open by the time we arrive, they did not expect to be able to use the West Apartment, the jacuzzi room, and maybe the conference room! ARRRRRRRRGHHHHH! I was in total shock, just kinda numbly writing down the places the gal said they would move us to. BUT...I called back a few minutes ago & talked to the owner who has been checking the damage firsthand, and it seems most of the serious damage was confined to the laundry room (who needs clean clothes while there anyway?), and the area where she and her husband live. There is some damage to the West Apartment, but she's very optimistic that it will be taken care of quickly, so we shouldn't have to move. If not, she will put us in 3 Riverside rooms for the same price. And Belinda, you'll be happy to know you can still relax in your romantic jacuzzi! It wasn't badly damaged after all. The conference room is definitely smoked up, but should be fine by June, too. They have a lot of electrical problems to deal with, and will be closed a day or two, but are hoping to be open again by this weekend.
: Bottom line: we shouldn't be impacted too badly by this, but Vickie and her husband could use a kind thought or two & some prayers from we Mohicanlanders. She was pretty shook up when I talked to her, and said that the only thing keeping her spirits up was the HOPE that there would be LOINCLOTHS to look forward to in June! ;o) I assured her there would be some, so don't let Vickie (and me) down, guys!
: My, how things can change in a MINUTE, eh?

That is not good news, but I am glad it is not worse than it was....here's wishing them the best for a speedy recovery.
*Ahem* Any of you Mohicanlanders wanna rent some tent space from us?? Maybe the answer to the age old question, "Do they sleep in loincloths, too?" will be answered...!!
Pax Aye!
