ok, so now we know for sure the meal plan isn't available for us due to dh's husband's work paying for the room. NOW he tells me we're driving!!!!!!!! We live in NJ. I get car sick driving to my mom's an hour & 10 min's away. will post a question about the travel on another thread. Just wanted to thank you all a MILLION for all the food advice. I've been taking notes. One good thing about driving is now I can pack the truck w/food!
