I guess one big variation for me is that these days I'd probably pay extra for NO wifi.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932287583227778622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-2125521056191383022011-03-28T09:25:55.044-07:002011-03-28T09:25:55.044-07:00My DREAM retreat is somewhere with warm weather &a...My DREAM retreat is somewhere with warm weather & pretty scenery so I can take walks. And a yoga class nearby to undo all that hunching over my laptop.<br /><br />In reality, it's just various hotel rooms around town. My most productive retreat was at a motel in Manzanita. Spread my novel out, woke up at 6am and write until evening.Liz Pratohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910526644412546319noreply@blogger.com
