Our quality of life has vastly improved in the last hour. Sean had requested a family suite when he made reservations at the hotel, but when we checked in we were informed there were none available. We were placed in a "deluxe" room that the desk clerk said was even nicer than the family suites. Yeah, right. Just got settled in the new digs, it's twice the size. It's essentially two hotel rooms with a connecting door. One side is the sleeping area (two doubles, bathroom with two sinks, lots of closet space) and the other side has a kitchenette with a dining table, a sitting area and a desk for the PC. I was nearly giddy at all the space. After 4 weeks spent sleeping in the same room as my kids, I'm looking forward to having my own space!

I did manage to get a few more hours of sleep after Margaret puttered around for just over an hour this morning. Not much more, but every little bit helps. She's napping as we speak. Mary and Sean are taking a swim in the hotel pool.

The view from our new room is stunning. There's a beautiful landscaped garden that we look out on, plus we have a great view of the base from our 9th floor. Once I get my camera dock hooked up, I'll try to post some pictures.
