With one exception, any discussion I have had has been with attendees at Oliver's Palm Spring Gathering. If asked I would be open and honest, but it is not a topic of conversation that I would initiate.
Welcome to the site - your situation is not unique, do not hesitate to ask about something you would like to know more about or to learn of others experiences.
Checked in to INNdulge today - had a most enjoyable dinner with our host Oliver this evening. Looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting a group of new friends.
