As the mother of a Deaf (now grown) son, I know how important it is to have respites. Your plan sounds great for all concerned. I am sure it will be a wonderful time for all. As I look back, raising my son, I so could have used a time like you are planning. Good for you!

How wonderful you can get away and agree to bring a power sytip and also an exyension cord as outlets are never convenient, Most places will accomidate you and if noy if you have a folding table bring iy as think the bed would be kind of akward

What a great time you all will have. I am happy for your daughter and hope that she has a wonderful time. I was curious as to what people say as I have never done this. Great suggestions from all, thank you.

I always travel with a little folding table when sharing a room. I prefer to set up in my room so I can leave everything after its all set up-less work. Take a little break and see the area or shop come back and sew more! Go to dinner come back and sew more! I hope you and your friend have a wonderful time! It's greatly deserved!

I have worked with hotels and any thing you need that is not already in the room often comes at a cost. If you have a suite then ask to see rooms online. Most hotels have online virtual tours of rooms. I have found the corner rooms often are larger. Worth a try to ask.

Sounds wonderful for both of you. Hope your daughter has a great time and you and your friend enjoy the day together. Sue

I was wondering if you were able to purchase a sewing machine for your daughter?

Agree with previous comments. On a weekend, motels usually don't have much demand for the conference rooms. Make the most of your time, you deserve the best weekend ever and so does your darling child! God bless you.

Thanks, everyone for all of your input. We are going to be ready with tables, extension cords, power strips, and extra lights. We'll talk to the hotel ahead of time as well. We will be in a Quality Inn Suite with a request of having a room near an external door (I am giggling as I picture us hauling all of our stuff inside!).

daisydawg - the sewing machine will be an early spring purchase. We're still researching & the income tax refund will be in place by then. Everyone is excited for this! Thanks for your support of this endeavor!
