Yes, and don't forget, Weronika, that we were saved from quite a long wait on Friday afternoon by using the freight elevator (I rationalized that we were both carrying freight, with all the pillows, stands, and supplies). The uncomfortable thing was that the hotel had booked the room for use beginning at 5:00, and our class ended at 4:30. that meant that the cleaning staff wanted us out immediately after the class so that they could clean for the next group. Just packing quickly was a bit of a strain, plus wishing to clean up the messes left behind a bit. But all week some of us had been avoiding the elevator crowds by lacing for a bit (up to half an hour) after the end of class.
So, if possible, it would be a good thing if classroom space were booked at least one half-hour beyond the end of class, if only to allow time to comfortably pack up. And I do second everyone's comments about what a great convention this was, for me it was also a dream vacation. Congratulations and many thank-you's to RMLG. Regards, Carolyn Carolyn W.
