The Daily Poop - Sat., 18JUN11

NO JO

Sadly, my wife will not be coming to the reunion this year.

Nurses' work schedules are notoriously iffy. We'd hope that she'd be able to come at least for a few days, like she did last year. Alas, it is not to be.

I'll just have to soldier on without her.
   

WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE HOTEL

If you're coming to Virginia Beach without  a car, there are a number of conveniences within hoofing-it distance of the Holiday Inn.

This is not to knock the hotel's restaurant. Ashley's is a fine dining spot, and you'll find NMA members dining there whether or not we're gathered for music and fun. But there are other nearby options for eatining and picking up various neccessities:

Within a hop, skip and a jump: 

• Denny's 
• 7-11.

Within a hop, skip, jump and quick dash across the  highway:

• Ruby Tuesday.

Within a hop, skip, jump, dash across a highway and a few minutes of heavy breathing:

•  Rite Aid Pharmacy
• Subway Sandwiches
• Arrowhead Plaza Shopping Center
