Our plans changed last minute, and we were unable to go to Long Beach. Too bad, because we were looking forward to meeting Wendell after exchanging messages and emails.

We can't comment on the accommodations, of course, because we didn't stay, but the communications ahead of time were perfect. Wendell could not have been nicer, and he was planning to stay up to greet us at our late arrival. How nice is that?

We'll be in Long Beach again for the night and we look forward to staying with Wendell. If he is half as nice in person and he is friendly and helpful in his emails, we're in for a wonderful stay.
