**So, are all meals included in this price? And for a single woman, that means it’s $695 for 5 days/4 nights?**
Yes, it’s as little as $695 for everything, including meals. It’s pretty ridiculous, isn’t it? Power in numbers! :-).

**Where in N. Carolina. I’m sorry to bug you with so many questions.**
It’s in Maggie Valley, about half an hour from Asheville, in the Smoky Mountains. It’s a magical little area. We will be RIGHT on the mountain. And no bother on the questions. I might actually post them up somewhere, along with the other ones I received (but without your name, if that’s OK).

**I was wondering what kind of schedule there will be. Is this a structured event or are we on our own to do whatever. Thanks, I hope I can make it.**
I added a schedule up HERE. But EVERYthing is optional if you want to enjoy some outings at any given time. I will work hard to make sure the classes aren’t worth missing. If there is a particular topic you are already familiar with or a time you just want to get away, you are welcome to leave for a hike or whatever and come back for the food! Either way, you will have the recipes in your take-home materials

**I am thinking about sharing a single with a female. If there is an odd number of people, do I still only pay $695? Or is it double that if I don’t have someone to share the room with?**
If you are a single female, you have the option to pay either $695 per person for a shared room (females only) or to pay more for a private room. I will do my best to fill the rooms, but if you end up with a private room and don’t pay for it, it’s your luck! I don’t think that will happen, in any case. If you have a friend coming along and are on a tight budget, there is some information you might be interested in on the booking page.

**Would $695 be the total cost for lodging & food? If so, then I only need to pay transport. Just confirming.**
You got it!

**What is the cancellation policy if I find I can’t make it? I assume I lose the entire deposit but wanted to confirm.**
Your spot is reserved just for you. If you cancel and your space is filled, I’ll refund your deposit less a $25 administrative fee. If your space is not filled, you forfeit monies paid.

**I live here in Jacksonville so part of me thinks it would just be easier to put that money toward private or group classes with you here in Jax (as I have small kids and it’s hard to get away), but I think I might learn a lot more if I immerse myself on the vacation. Thoughts?**
If you can get away and would enjoy a group environment, I’d say do it. You would pay a lot more to take these classes privately and would still miss out on getting other people’s questions answered (some you might not have even thought of yet!). If you don’t like group classes, then it would probably be better to have me come over. This is set up as it is for a few reasons –
1/ I like vacations! (Don’t we all?)
2/ The Smoky Mountains are GORGEOUS. What a great excuse to get up there!
3/ Group classes and vacations are a fabulous way to relax and meet new people from other places.
4/ Lots of people on a budget could really use something like this and really can’t afford private classes or can’t get out to Jacksonville. I know I would have loved to have an option like this, at this price a few years ago!
5/ Isn’t it nice to have raw people around? Like a “fammunity” as my dear friend Carmella calls it!

**Hold Harmless Agreement & Other Policies**
You will be asked to sign an agreement maintaining that you are responsible for your health, well-being, belongings and actions.

You will also have a form to sign with your credit card information (or a check) of a $150 deposit. The card would not be charged unless you actually were to damage the property. I have never once needed to keep anyone's deposit.

Only responsible adults on this trip, please.

We reserve the right to ask anyone to leave at any time, and would not in that case refund any monies paid. While this has never had the need to happen before (raw foodies are a pretty easy-going bunch!), please be aware of this.

No smoking on the premises. Please do not bring alcoholic beverages. As an adult over the age of 21, you will have the option to enjoy 1 glass of organic, no sulfites-added wine with your dinner.

You may bring your car and skip any activities as you choose. We ask that you keep us in the loop if you choose to opt out of any planned activities... but this trip is for you and we would like to see you enjoy it fully. Sometimes that means taking time for yourself even when it isn't an "agenda item."

Check in is at 7pm on Thursday, and check out is at 11am on Monday.

That's it. Those are the guidelines. Oh yeah, and have fun!
