II. HOUSING ARRANGEMENTS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: The houses are really designed for families, not our group. In order to keep the trip affordable, we make the sleeping arrangements a bit retreat-style: 2-4 people per room, almost all 2-person beds have 2 people on them and the last person to register in each house will be on a queen sleeper-sofa.

In order to accomplish this, we ask for volunteers: we ask that people not attending with a significant other ("singles") consider sharing a bed with another single, and we even include a discount for folks willing to do this.

House & bed assignments will be published before the end of January.

VI. EARLY BREAKAWAY
Some folks can come up a day early, so we open up a few houses and start the Escape on Thursday. Since there are fewer people, it's even more informal than the Escape. We even do some of the organization through emails to each other.

We assume that the options for the main Escape apply to the Breakaway. In addition, everyone must prepare one meal and clean up one meal, from Thursday dinner through Friday lunch. It's an additional $30
