Anyone fancy sharing a room? Makes it a little cheaper..

That link is broken but you can find the hotel easily

wyndham garden hotel? There were two near the airport...but only one with the pool i think. One site was much easier to read than the other.

hey heptet....i'll share a room with you. that's for the sunday to the monday, right? i'm gonna book my ticket tomorrow. flying into okc on the thursday and out in the afternoon on the monday. is that the plan? or, are you getting there on wed? cause i could be talked into that too!!!!! i kinda want to check out the area a bit!!! let me know!!!

There were 2 Wyndam hotels. The one the Brit is talking about is right near the airport AND the Waffle House. We can share rooms or not. It depends on individual needs. Last year Laura and I crashed in the Brits room. Probably should work out something in advance for this next year. I know that I booked a room, I just didn't sleep in it. Long story.

At the request of some folks coming to the retreat, I've removed posts that referenced the name of the hotel. Last year we kept that information off the open board and worked it through private messages . Can we go back to that? Thanks.

I really wish I could go again this year. But as I was posting a few months ago my income went way down and then I couldn't seem to take advantage of the feelings of growth that were happening to me and the opportunities in front of me and now I don't know. : (

I'm still trying to figure out how to get there without flying. I'm thinking of hiring someone to transport me and my stuff by elephant. Or maybe camel. Nah, I like elephants better.

Seriously, if the train I want to take still has sleeping accommodations available, I'll book my tickets. I've done overnight in coach seats...I don't want to arrive all sore and cranky and in desperate need of chiropractic adjustments and pain meds. The good/bad news about the train trip is that my travel dates are extremely limited. (Note to our European friends: our train system is abysmal. If I lived in Europe, I'd probably use public transportation all the time. That's impossible here.) Anyway, all that is to say that in order not to miss any of the retreat, I'd have to arrive in OKC late Tuesday night. So if anyone is around Wednesday and has recovered enough from jet lag to emerge sleepily from their beds, I'd love to get together!

Can someone send me the hotel info?

If you do arrive early, you wouldn't be ignored. I believe Martine plans to arrive several days early, and we'll spend time visiting. You're welcome to join in, and we'll put you to work getting the retreat ready!

If the train doesn't work out...and I should know that in the next couple days, I will just have to bite the bullet and fly. I don't know what else to do. I'd be willing to drive, but not alone for such a long distance. My husband would put his foot down anyway!

I figure I'd probably fly like I did last year. Our local itty-bitty airport should be fine. I'm pretty sure OKC will be fine. Both don't even have body scanners and aren't being all crazy with the pat-downs. But the scary part for me will be the Phoenix airport. Every time I've flown through there, I've had to go through security again -- it's the way the airport is laid out. I guess I'm just lucky in that I always arrive at a terminal that is as far away as possible from where I'm departing, and I have to walk through an unsecured part of the airport to get there.

Last year I got lost (not an uncommon experience for me) was given crazy and contradictory directions, and pretty much flew into a panic. Just dreading some sort of nightmarish security ordeal on top of all that would be too much; an actual pat-down would probably send me over the edge. (Suggestion for pre-retreat icebreaker activity: road trip to Arizona in order to bust me out of the loonie bin. It will be such a bonding experience!)

So...I hate to be a whiny crybaby but there you have it. Is anyone taking a flight out of Phoenix who is willing to meet up with me at the airport, feed me Xanax, and help get me on the plane without major incident?

Matt, I'd love to be put to work! Anything! Well, as long as it doesn't involve the walk-in fridge.

Sorry, didn't think. Thanks for removing the post for me.

I'd love to help with xanax but my connect flight is atlanta. I'm travelling the wednesday if that flight remains available until january *fingers crossed*

booked my flight! coming on wednesday and leaving on monday!!! woohoo!

Ummmm...are we staying in stillwater or we staying in a hotel thru the retreat?

Stillwater... Th, Fri and Sat. Hotel on Sunday for those flying out on Monday.
