We had an absolutely wonderful visit. Miitary friends for about 40 years that have stayed in touch. This year we chose Omaha - one that lives there could not travel. As it turned out, she could not join us either. we visited her.
Our visit was great, but these were annoyances. 8 people; 7 forks. We did not try to use the BBQ, but it would have been unusable. Dirty/greasy to the max. Pots/pans/etc. were usable but could be recycled. Same for dishes and glasses; moreso the glasses than dishes. We did fine, but there was a really odd size/shape of glasses. A stop at a restaurant supply store could fix that quite cheaply.
