Brian feel free to ask questions here even if they are already asked. You will make us happy, gives us a chance to talk about the trip!!!
The biggest question is usually about where to stay, once you have that the rest will fall into place
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you in this difficult time.
Thanks for letting us know. It's hard to know what to say during a tragedy like this.
Big hugs to you
Ali
