I went to a retreat for three days by myself. It was WONDERFUL!!!!! Doubt if I ever go as a group again. Had three hour drive with a great book on tape, motel room all to myself, ate when I wanted and what I wanted, then two full days of sewing and a trunk show the night before. This is making me want to do it again. I shared a table with a great gal from totally the opposite direction as me. She came alone too and within an hour we were sharing and giggling like old friends.
When I went to our guild retreat two years ago I was ready to leave by noon the first day. I will never do that one again.
