I find that alcohol is the least important part of having a good time at the Getaway, and I'll bet I'm not alone.

I may not be able to go this year. Edmund and I are talking about a trip to England, and if we do that I'll have to do a passel of overtime if I'm to make the Getaway as well. Edmund gets much more leave than I do, so he will be able to go -- unless work gets immovably in the way of course.
