[nagdu] travel?

[d m gina]

Hi Bibi,
I didn't see your message at first, where I will share that I have a 
friend who doesn't have a dog now, when she did, the cabs took her just fine.
I would go and have a swell time, just call a cab and go from there.
Are there any stores that are around the hotel you can get food for the 
weekend to fix in your hotel room?
Then you wouldn't have to order much.
Wishing you the best with your games.
Keep us posted on how all turn out.
