Driving Directions to the Hotel

Get lost just driving out of your drive way? I know I do, it's OK, we all do it. So, with that in mind, we wrote these directions down. True, you could always use a map program to find out where we are, but they often fail as much as they are right. 50 - 50. (Any how, I needed an excuse to fill space with). Their are no guaranties that these are correct. Please refer to a good map program to verify for your situation.
