A small trip is better than none at all

So we've decided to go on a trip. More than decided, we've booked rooms and theater tickets for next week in Ashland. Very spur of the moment, and kind of fun to know we're going so soon. We're going to stay in a 1940s-style autocourt (affordable and available, a difficult combination on such short notice), and we're going to see The Importance of Being Earnest and The Merry Wives of Windsor.
