Sounds great!

Don't worry about taking privates right now, especially with your situation. All I've ever taken are group lessons, partially because of time, partially because of money, and partially because I really liked hanging out with the other adults in my class, helping them along and 'translating' for them, etc. Sure, I could have gotten a bit farther with private lessons (and when I start up again, that's what I'll do), but sometimes it's not just about the skating, y'know?

If anyone cares, I spent the week of August 4-10, 2002, training at the World Arena Ice Hall in Colorado Springs, CO, where the Broadmoor FSC skaters train. I don't know exactly what possessed my coach to take me and a bunch of other students there to train, but it was a fantabulous high-altitude training experience! I really picked up a lot of great pointers from the coaches there (e.g., Diana Ronayne, Damon Allen) which I know will get me far this upcoming skating season.

We were lucky enough to see AP McDonough and Apolo Ohno skating there, too. I also got to do some fun stuff outside of skating, such as visiting the Figure Skating Hall of Fame Museum @ USFSA headquarters, and horseback riding through the Garden of the Gods!
