Hi Loren Good to see your name pop up again. I worked with you when you were doing Wunago.com so many years ago. Hopefully things are going well for you. Amy and I are thinking of spending a winter down Arizona way some year (possibly next winter) instead of going to our condo on Maui. Do you know of any accessible condos/houses that are available for holiday rental for 3-4 months. Hopefully with your guidance in a nice and pretty warm area of the state. Thank you Aloha Bruce
