[tei-council] hotels for April meeting

[Paul F. Schaffner]

I've given up on car and train -- just TOO long, and booked
a flight into PVD arriving Tuesday 9 April and departing
Monday 15 April. That will give me Wednesday free for a lightning
visit with family and leave Sunday free for a possible drive
(rental) up to SE Vermont and back.

I also booked a room for the duration at Annie Brownell House B&B
on Waterman Square for ~ $100/night. Right across from Myopic Books,
I believe, which I intend to revisit because its owner is a
fellow-collector of old hymn books and has been known to put
some of his own collection up for sale.

Now you know it all!
