My family is traveling to Elwood, Indiana for a family reunion at the end of July. I have had very little luck finding a hotel nearby. It doesn't need to be in Elwood, but within 30-40 miles would be nice. Does anyone out there have a suggestion? I'd also prefer at least 3 stars. Thanks in advance!!!

Does anyone know of a good German restaurant in San Diego? A friend told me about one in Carlsbad or Oceanside, but she can't remember the name. I'm 6 months pregnant and CRAVING some serious schnitzle!!!

Ok, so I agreed to be the maid of honor for my friend, but all of the other bridesmaids live on the otherside of the country and I don't know them at all. My friend is a bit of a diva and I know she expects a nice bridal shower and bachlorette party, but I can't afford to pay for everything by myself. Normally, the other bridesmaids would help out at least alittle, but they won't be around until a few days before the wedding. Do I hit them up for money anyway, or go into major debt just to keep the bride happy? I already have a shower planned & invites have been sent. I'll be spending about $500. Am I on the hook for a bachlorette party too??? Any cheap suggestions???

Any ideas on a reasonably priced High Tea (for a bridal shower) in or around the San Diego area? I'm thinking around $18 per person. I am paying for 25 people and hoping to find a good deal out there. Could you let me know where NOT to go as well.

Is it woth making the trip from Washougal, Washington? What was the cost? Any details would be appreciated!
