Just to bring this back up to the top. Please vote if you are serious about going on our little retreat

it looks like it is alot cheaper in LV. Is that true? If i'm correct per night in Tucson is almost 300$ and at LV its that for 2 nights, right?

[Emelie]

to say, but my kids will both be home from College until the later part of Jan. I miss them a lot and can not even think about going with them here to see me. Wish this was at some other time so I could get away and not feel bad about it.
Maybe next time I will be able to come.
Hope everyone has a great time.

Just to mention that the food and drinks are included in Mirval and I heard the food is superb and very healthy, how about Vegas, I don't think food is included? Is it?

[StillHere]

Sheri, No food is not included in the Las Vegas package. The Miravel is pricey, but we are getting a big discount for our organization during High Season. I am wondering if we go to Las Vegas in January, would anyone be interested in getting together again in early May to go to Miraval? I know this would be two vacations inside 6 mos, but I would go if there is anyone else that would meet me out there. I have a tendency to spend more money lately - Gee wonder why!!!!!!

Here is a copy of the Las Vegas Package

Does anyone else want to spend their kids inheritance with Sherri and I in May 2008 at the Miraval? I think I might take my daughter (great caregiver & all around sweetie) with me.

[dorinda]

Hello Everyone,
Our members have spoken and we are going to have a great time in Las Vegas! Donna has offered to take the reins on organizing this trip. I do not have any experience with Las Vegas, and she is a veteran. Please let Donna know if you want a single room, double room (you and a guest), or double room (you and another group member to share expenses). Can't wait to meet you all in January.

I discussed with my husband the idea of taking my daughter to Miraval in May for her Christmas present. He has given me the all clear for a second SPA vacation inside 6 mos. What a guy (He has a hard time saying no to anything I want the last couple of years - I admit I played that to my advantage -Just A Little Bit). I will ask Mr. Sim to release the rooms for January, but come up with some rates for a group to go in May. Let me know if you are interested at all. I know this is a long time away, and will not firm up anything until after the 1st of the year.

Do we want to have Sweat-Shirts (Maybe denim button shirts would less tacky) made up advertising our organization for the Las Vegas trip? I was thinking Florescent Pink. We will be able to find each other anywhere.

Joe: Do we have an official logo?
