Some Winedale have committed to attending the "50th Anniversary" Reunion for four days. (I use quotes because it's technically the 52nd Anniversary.) Others we expect will come in mainly to attend the Saturday gathering and Saturday night performances. This note is about anyone who's in either group who plans to use air travel to get (most of the way) to Winedale.
Generally, the advice from seasoned travelers who have navigated pandemic-era travel already this year is this: Try to get to where you're going a day earlier than the day you plan to show up. We're currently living in a period of massive air-travel chaos and disruption, mainly because the airlines have struggled with ramping back up after earlier pandemic-driven cutbacks. (If you're a retired flight attendant, this may be a good time to consider coming out of retirement!) So, for example, if you plan to show up on Saturday at, say, lunchtime, it's best to get the flying part of your travel finished the day before. Please consider making your travel plans accordingly. Similarly, if you're one of the four-day attendees and you plan to congregate with the others in Winedale on Thursday afternoon/evening, please consider getting the flying part of your travel done at least by Wednesday.
I'm nostalgic for the occasions when I had to travel during the pandemic--sometimes an airline like SouthWest would give me the whole plane. See photo, attached.
Love,
Mike

If any of the reunion group need a ride from the airport on Thursday, I can help. I also have 2 spare bedrooms & 2 couches for anyone coming in Weds. & needs a ride. ( although- Joy may have claimed one room already😉). Lynn
