Many thanks for all the responses - it starts to look as though it might not be such a crazy idea after all.
You seem to know exactly what I'm talking about Laurie - it is Everquest my son is hooked on!!! Guess the next step is to sort out the hotel booking and find out what kind of Internet connection is on offer so we can work round that one. I'll let you know when I know I'm coming!

I have a son who CANNOT live without his computer and although he might go to the zoo and water park, if you don't dose him with computer when you get home he's simply a bear.....so I understand your dilemma, so here comes some ideas... The hotel has high speed Internet Access. If Computer games are your son's solace, then bring, buy or rent a laptop and get him one of those games that you can play others online. Everquest is a popular one and game that says on the box, those magic words "online play" or "play against live opponents" I'd be glad to find some rental rates. I have a laptop...it's old...and I won't be using it during the day and most of the night so he's welcome to it. Let me check to see if it attaches to the internet before you depend on it.... A cheaper version is to visit Best Buy or some other computer game store and play the games there....they demo them...I don't think they are full games, but I don't know. It might not be enough. With the dollar as weak as it is, this idea of yours doubly splendid. I always think the crazy ideas are the best because you feel so deliciously wicked and lucky and quite smart when you actually do them. Lace in Peace (and visit us in Denver!)
