Ed,
The Hornell idea sounds most excellent for several reasons..
A. It's closer for us Pittsburghians...
2. We're all stationed in the same place - no riding back and forth from different hotel/motel rooms.
III. You and Pat (read "Vicky and Jane") have made the sacrifice already. This way you can all attend the rally without weeks of personal preparation and expense. No setting up tents, coolers, barbecues, porta-johns, buying provisions, etc. And the planning you do is offset by the fact that you're 40 miles from home - you can go let the dogs out, replenish the pool chemicals, fire the maid, etc. without worrying about 47 drunken foreigners sleeping in your yard/basement/gutters.
It sounds like a win-win to me.
