I go to an annual retreat with members of another online quilt group. We meet once a year at a hotel with a large banquet/meeting room. We either fly or drive. There are attendees from New England to California. The hotel we use serves breakfast every day and a "snack" every evening. The "snack" is actually enough to constitute a meal - spaghetti/hamburgers, etc. We also get a cut on the room rate because we're a large group (about 30).
The retreat usually lasts from Friday thru Sunday. A lot of us arrive on Thursday evening and depart Sunday afternoon. The meeting room is open 24 hours so we can sew all night if we want to.
