On Saturday morning I head off on my big Aikido adventure of the year, a road trip to the week-long Aiki Retreat at Menlo College in the Bay Area. This is my first live-in, out-of-town Aikido seminar, and I'm really excited to be going! Summer camp! Woohooo!

The instructors are Robert Nadeau Shihan, Frank Doran Shihan, and Hiroshi Ikeda Shihan, and Mary Heiny Sensei. I've been in seminars with each of them twice before, except for just one seminar with Mary Heiny Sensei. I'm looking forward to exploring their teaching in more depth.

I've been keeping my to-do and packing lists in an earlier blog post. Everything is done except for vacuuming the car, putting on the new wiper blades, and printing a sheet of contact info in case my phone falls into a water trough or something.

I'll be taking two days to drive up, and two days back, visiting horsey friends along the way in Fresno, Livermore, and San Juan Bautista. Here's a map of my route, if you're into that sort of thing.

I plan to post a lot of photos, observations, insights, and other random blabbering at www.GrabMyWrist.com, from my iPhone, so my blog (only there, not here) will be rather busy and random for a while. Expect typos and incomplete thoughts! I'll be on the road June 11-19. I won't be checking email while I'm away, so use Facebook (I'm easy to find) or text messages (619 368-4333) if you want to say hi.

Hope to see you there!
Linda

Just to follow up, I had an insanely good time, Definitely planning to go again next year! I posted a few photos and updates on www.grabmywrist.com, if you haven't seen them yet. Still need to do a follow up post, which I'll have here on AikiWeb, too. Just didn't want to clutter this site up with tales of what I had for lunch, and how I arranged my dorm room. ;-)

Thanks, Carina. I've been to a guitar workshop in a similar format - staying at a small college, doing nothing but music for a week. It was really fun. :-)

I hope you'll have a great time, I'll check your blog or facebook for news about how the seminar is going. I'm a little envious too, because I like that kind of seminars very much. Good luck and take care!
