Your article and pictures are great. Thanks! I am an author and faculty member conducting a workshop at Omega in August 2009. I want my community of attendees to have the best possible experience that I can give them (and me as well). Reading your article (and others) will help me in this regard. I do not know you ... yet, but you are a fearless inspiration for all. Take care in your travels and may the wind be at your back.

Loved this post. I'm heading off to a similar type of retreat just north of Los Angeles called Ojai in a couple of weeks. I've never been to a quirky, granola, yoga & relaxation retreat, but am looking forward to how it compares to your experiences. Thanks for writing! Hiya!

That sounds so exciting. Can't wait to read about it all on your blog. Hi Steph! Good to see you. Glad you made it back to TX safe and sound. I agree, if it weren't for mac-n-cheese day, I might have gone off on the wait staff. That's fantastic that you took the African dance mini-workshop. That takes guts! Yes, yes, the staff cabins in Dirty Dancing. That's exactly what they were! Good meeting you too. I'm sure we'll be in Austin again soon. Maybe not to move, but you never know! :) Wow, good luck with the move to Thailand, Lindsay! That sounds so exciting. Can’t wait to read about it all on your blog.

Friday night, after the fab Lynda Barry class was over, I lined up (in no particular order) a steak, a beer, wine and Coca-Cola. Omega fulfilled all of my camp memories...and I gave the veggie thing the old college try. Thank God for macaroni and cheese day. The Institute allows participants to try other workshops on Wed afternoon. I tried the African dancing. I'm sure I looked as white as I am, but no one cared, especially me...and I like that kind of place. It really was an incredible experience -- even via planes, trains and automobiles. Love the blog! So happy to meet you (in the private room dorm with group bath -- ala staff cabins in Dirty Dancing and no, no one put Baby, er, Betty, in the corner). Come to Austin! Come to Austin! Come to Austin! Did you hear something? It's only 105 today. ;) Hey girl, great description of the week at Omega!

So great to another great female travel writer! And it's funny too. Good hook. If you're so inclined you should check out my blog. I just moved to Thailand so it's all about moving here and figuring out how to make a life. That and reading enough of the bottles to buy milk. Or at least what you suspect is milk. http://urbanpilgrim.wordpress.com Betty, love what you’re doing here. So great to another great female travel writer! And it’s funny too. Good hook.

I'd highly recommend her book and her class if you're interested. I just found out she'll be back in SF in November! Melody, I took coach. It was totally fine, although a bit crowded. Don't feel bad asking someone hogging two seats to move it! Sit by the window if you can so you can watch to scenery flash by. Good to see you as always, Debo! Thanks for the props. I hope you find a lot of great info. She's a fantastic author and teacher. And funny as hell! I definitely learned a lot, Christine. I’d highly recommend her book and her class if you’re interested.

Love the part about sucking on a cow's hind quarters! When you did Amtrak, did you take coach or business class? I'm going coach to New York City in two weeks and I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I’d have trouble with the veggies too. Love the part about sucking on a cow’s hind quarters!
