[NAGDU] Vacation rentals

[Marianne Denning]

I appreciate that and I would usually do that but we are staying on a small
island in Lake Erie and most of the options were taken. The owner said my
dog is welcome even though it isn't listed for pets. I just wanted to know
the options. I am celebrating one of my 0 birthdays with my family so I
wasn't going to fight this issue this time. It has all worked out though.
