Help me pick my Christmas present

Help me pick my Christmas present
Hubby asked what I would like for Christmas, which is really my anniversary (12/23, Christmas and my birthday 1/19) so I have a fairly large budget for travel and the retreat.
I have everything I want but I think I would like to go to a quilt retreat with a nationally known instructor. I am willing to stretch my horizons. I was thinking 3 days.
If you have taken a class from an instructor that you really liked, please share your experience.

You don't mention if time of year is important, so off the top of my head:
Empty Spools
http://www.emptyspoolsseminars.com/
Quilt Museum Workshops - Paducah
http://www.quiltmuseum.org/adult-workshops.html
Quilting by the Lake
http://www.quiltingbythelake.com/
Quilt Festival (Houston and other cities)
http://www.quilts.com/home/index.php
They also run a few Quilt Camps a year.
Ricky Tims runs his LaVeta retreats - I've heard rave reviews about that.

AQS Paducah Show - class list not yet available (or any of their other shows)

That's it for now. Oven timer is dinging.

Paducah is great and I am going to Cincy with my GF's this spring.
I was looking for an immersion in one area. Spending a week with Ricky Tims almost one on one would intimidate me! Empty Spools sounds great but I dont have a whole week with travel time and cost. I thought thread play sounded interesting to explore, Ranae Merrill, Schamber, Karen Stone plus there was a class on curves.
So I have enough money to do both the Karen Stone in March AND the Sharon Schamber in July at the Paducah Museum seminars. Schamber is the one I really want to see since I dont FMQ. I have Merrill's book and might sign up for her online class.
