Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 This message for anybody connected with the Mill Valley workshops that Pete is doing later this month. I want to attend the workshops. I'm trying to arrange lodging close to the workshop site, but I don't know where that is. Is this the kind of place where I'll have to get a car, or is it reasonable to think that I can get lodging near the workshop site and just catch a shuttle from the San Francisco airport? An address of the meeting place would be helpful - anything more than just the name of the town, which is all I have at this point. I've done some internet research, but the information isn't really helpful since I don't actually know where we're going to be. Thanks, -------------- Original message from psychologics@...: -------------- , This is just wonderful news, and I'm thankful that you wrote in to give us an update on your daughter's progress. I look forward to learning how her story unfolds. Happiest of new years to you and your family.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 , Training is at 245 Throckmorton Ave, Mill Valley, CA 94941, just off the center of Mill Valley. It is minutes over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. The most convenient airport is San Francisco International (SFO). Just a block or so away is the Mill Valley Inn: http://www.marinhotels.com/mill_guestrooms.html, and http://www.lodging.com/App/ViewSpecificHotelLP?masterId=38310 & semsource=goog & semkeyword=mill+valley+inn. Other hotels include: http://travel./p-travelguide-474376-mill_valley_vacations-i There are two fairly high end places to stay in Sausalito, on the water just over the GG bridge, for anyone interested in making it more of a luxury vacation: Casa Madrona and The Inn Above Tide. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hi were you able to get the information you needed regarding lodging, etc? I will be staying at the Mill Valley Inn (www.millvalleyinn.com). I am still looking for someone who would like to share a ride from SFO to Mill Valley---I'm arriving at approximately 9pm on United's new airline called (of all things) " TED " .
