Greg:

Depending on the weather, I may check out Camden Saturday.  As fo breaking
a leg and hospitals, I have my visa card.  Its funny that when you enter a
US hospital they want a charge card if you are a Canadian.  Luckily, my
Royal Bank Visa provides travel health insurance as part of its benefits.

Robert
