I got so excited to see this come up on my fb. So I started reading. I thought you were coming to Australia. But when I read all the details it’s in the USA. I’m now crying I’m so upset. The cost is high for me. But totally worth it to see both of these fabulous artists. Please come to Australia 🇦🇺 I’m sure you both would have a blast. I know I would. Love you both. One sad fan here. Love Cherie ❤️♥️
Where is the retreat?
The retreat is in Delray Beach – South Florida
which hotel?
Is it recommended that you come in the night before and stay till Monday?
Hi Melissa: Depending on where you are coming from, I would probably come in the night before.
Most people do not spend the extra night on the last day.
Hope that helps.
