Thanks, Dave. I've got a two-bed hotel room booked as close to the museum as I could find for a price I could afford and the plan is for myself, my parents and my teenage son to make the trip as a group ... all of us outfitted with "Amptech Systems" logo shirts in true professional style.
Another plan is to see if the second woman I've met who seems to have some interest in vintage electronics might accompany me. We have been "acquaintances" since high school and I only recently had an opportunity to show her my vintage tv collection and restoration facilities. She showed genuine interest during the demonstration of the working sets in the "display room" and wanted to see the Tektronix oscilloscopes in operation and see the inner workings of the sets and test gear. Both of us have our own reasons for avoiding anything that might resemble a "relationship" at this point and wanting to work our way gradually into anything that might develop, so two nights in a hotel room represents a bit of a leap of faith. Until now, we have deliberately limited the time spent together to "safe" environments such as arranging to meet at a nightclub and one visit to my home which was chaperoned by my somewhat hyperactive dog.
