At the 11th hour, I have a solutiin! My daughter is going to pick up the dogs tonight and I'll come back up to the resort tonight! Will have to make it home tomorrow night, and already have cleared working from home the rest of the week, if need be. Huge sigh of relief here!

Glad you could work it out! Be safe in your travels.
