We’ll be staying at a lake-side resort called Aerodream. There is still room. The cost per person should be approximately $40 per person, per day. That includes food and a bed, but not transportation. There is no tuition cost; our teachers teach for the joy of it. BYOB. If you can get yourself there, we’ll take care of you while you’re there. We’ve missed a couple years of doing this in realspace, so we’re really looking forward to it. CYCLE 16 will be as much a reunion celebration as an educational event. We hope you can make it! Write to us if you have questions. You can email Lobo at [email protected].
