Here we go again! Vanelli has a lot of friends so everyone can’t fit into the North Carolina vacation. Red Rock Country is waiting for us. The hands-on vacation workshop is open to photographers of all levels (both short and tall are welcome). Meet-n-Greet starts at 5:00 pm on Monday, April 26th and goodbyes happen sometime Friday, April 30^th.

The meeting room and living arrangements are again one in the same. If that’s Vanelli-overload for you, contact us for other accommodation options.  The large condo has several sleeping configurations which are offered on a first come, first serve basis.  The sooner you sign up, the more choices you will have. There is a grocery store and local shops nearby, and the condo features a full kitchen. Participants staying on-premises will have access to the resort amenities.

Although the workshop is structured, you will also have free time for vacation-type activities on your own if you wish. Vanelli will always be available (he never sleeps); Sandy will be available most of the time (she does sleep). Peer knowledge and advice will be plentiful with our group Breakfast Babble and Dinner Discussions.

Getting There

The closest major airport is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) about 120 miles away. It’s about a 120-minute drive (that’s 2 hours for all you liberal arts majors). Other closer, yet smaller airports include: Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG) and Sedona Airport (SEZ). Forcing Vanelli to focus for two hours in order to get himself to Sedona is a task in itself; therefore, transportation is not arranged or provided by Vacation With Vanelli. If you wanna talk to other participants about carpooling, send a shout and we’ll hook you up.

Detailed directions and the condo address can be found in the Survival Kit. Only paid participants have access. No party crashers allowed (unless they are bringing free food for everyone).

Refund Policy: If you chicken out, your dough is refundable up to 30 days before the workshop (minus a $25 restocking fee). If it’s less than 30 days we will transfer your registration to a future workshop, or to a different victim.

2010 Outerbanks Guide

Barrier Island Station-Kitty Hawk

Getting There

The closest airport is Norfolk International Airport 64 miles away. It’s about a 90 minute drive (that’s an hour and a half for all you non-mathematical types). It’s not that Vanelli’s driving skills are bad; it’s his ability to stay off the Android while driving that makes it scary to be a passenger, therefore, carpooling is not arranged or provided by Vacation With Vanelli. If you wanna talk to other participants about carpooling, send a shout and we’ll hook you up.

Detailed directions and the condo address can be found in the Survival Kit. Only paid participants have access. No party crashers allowed.

Helpful hint: When you arrive in Kitty Hawk, get out of the vehicle and listen for the sound of Vanelli’s voice. Follow that sound to the condo. Shouldn’t be hard to do.

Refund Policy: If you chicken out, your dough is refundable up to 30 days before the workshop (minus a $25 restocking fee). If it’s less than 30 days we will transfer your registration to a future workshop, or to a different victim.
