Being in the Eastern time zone, I'd prefer something more centrally located, but would still do everything in my power to attend wherever it takes place!

All that being said, if the dates were right and I could hook it up to a trip to my family in Vancouver, it might be doable. Another option would be for you to offer a western and an central version of the retreat. I've heard that the Thunder Bay resort in Michigan is a good place for a retreat of this sort (I could probably drive there). I haven't been to it myself, but I know they do hold some quilting ones. You might even be able to hook it up with either teaching or lecturing in the area to make it more cost effective.Anne Marie - Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841030304464450073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170137381902196589.post-3052938164338485922009-09-08T14:07:07.615-07:002009-09-08T14:07:07.615-07:00I would love a BJP retreat, but perhaps one that i...I would love a BJP retreat, but perhaps one that is more centrally located, or easier to get to. <br /><br />Any suggestions for a more central location?a2susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915341461411686995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170137381902196589.post-60959013448507528212009-09-08T03:31:54.130-07:002009-09-08T03:31:54.130-07:00Robin, ever since you first mentioned this to the ...Robin, ever since you first mentioned this to the angels awhile ago, I've been thinking about it and no way I'd miss it...

It's the transportation costs that could add up depending on distance traveled. As far as location I'd vote for San Francisco area but that's just because that's where I am! Anyway I think it would be really great to meet other beaders and learn something new. If I can be of any assistance from a distance, I'm happy to!robin michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512210501809058988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170137381902196589.post-54374193409496725502009-09-07T22:55:45.187-07:002009-09-07T22:55:45.187-07:00Yes, Yes, Yes!

How extraordinarily wonderful it would be to touch each others work in person, see all those beady treasures firsthand and as you say, brainstorm together ... oh my, I can hardly bear to think about the possibility!!!!<br /><br />Since I am local I can't be helpful to you in the travel cost feedback department. I can say that the $110 per day does not sound unreasonable especially with some forward planning (meals included in that price?). Also, for those flying into Seattle, perhaps taking the shuttle to the Anacortes ferry, walking on & then getting picked up at the Orcas dock might be an option - I think it is $30-something each way for the shuttle...<br /><br />If you do go forward with this retreat idea, please know that I would welcome the opportunity to help in any way(s) you might need to pull it all together. I volunteer!!<br /><br />Oh, another thought...I only saw this post because I subscribe to BJP Blog #1 (I am in group #3 Blog). If you post this entry to both #2 & #3 separately then no one shall miss it?<br /><br />Thank you for such a splendid retreat idea :>}}<br /><br />ChristiSweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170137381902196589.post-22714575924081026252009-09-07T18:21:48.244-07:002009-09-07T18:21:48.244-07:00Well, I am local so the expense would be lower for...Well, I am local so the expense would be lower for me. I haven't been to orca island for years so it sounds like fun to me. It would just depend on when it is for me.
