Dragon pod has been outfitted with every little convenience you need for a comfortable stay. The bed is so nice I didn't miss mine at home once. I had everything I needed. Even the stormy weather didn't ruin my week. Thank you Sheila and Stewart for being wonderful hosts and I hope to see you both again.
