Coming in late to this thread. The best Getaway ever, IMHO. So many great workshops and not enough time! Some I wanted to get to but ended up taking a nap and missing out - got to do something about warding off sleep until the weekend is over. Catching up, even for only a short time, with all my Getaway friends and hearing so much good music makes the journey down from Maine really worthwhile.

A special thanks to the Mummers Play performers. That was such fun! You all did amazingly well and I think everyone on the stage had as much, or even more fun, as the audience.

Courtesy of iPad I was able to let Claire join in on part of the proceedings and having KT there via Skype was wonderful. Technology, used in the right way, can do great things.

This was my 11th Getaway, the first being, effectively, our honeymoon and so this gathering has an extra special meaning for me. I will always remember how welcome I was made back then and what an experience it was to be part of such an event.

I must add my thanks to the Getaway committee who work so hard to get this all up and running. I guess, sometimes, it must feel a bit like herding cats, but the end result is a blissful weekend in a beautiful location.

Looking forward to next year already............
