Fellow amateurs,
My wife has finally gone off the deep end. =)
I've never been to Dayton. Hearing some of the locals chat about it, and talking to amateurs headed west during drive time on our local repeater, I've decided that my Ham Hajj has got to take place. If not in 2008, definitely 2009.
Now, my wife is not a radio amateur and bores easily. She, alas, does not see the attraction in fiddling with, as she calls them, "boxes that go 'beep'." (I'm working on it, though; I'm trying to talk her into contesting with me. She's competitive, so that's a draw.)
Knowing my desperate need to make the Ultimate Amateur Pilgrimage, she has graciously agreed to accompany me to Dayton. Now I need something for her to do while I'm getting my geek on. We brainstormed a bit about attractive options for her, and the most credible was a nearby hotel that offers spa packages and the like. She can sit in a mud bath with cucumbers on her eyes while I bathe in RF and corndogs. With what I'm sure are many, many more spouses just like her indulging their husbands' lunacy, I cannot but imagine that places like this exist.
Anybody know of a couple of options? Or more ideas of wife-time stuff? Let me know so I can book for next year!
