Heck - lets just rent Mackinac Island for the weekend. Seriously - there are plenty of hotels in the area and a v. big one on the Island itself. Many many many lights to see. And they should have the 'National Lighthouse Museum' open (the one in Old Mackinac) in time for the next Reunion. Don't know if there is an airfield at Sault St. Marie - but if so its a quick drive to the south coast.

The GLLKA people have their annual fest not too far away - I suspect they have as many as an HL convention. Should be fesible.

Upper Michigan and the UP area should be at lot less expensive than the East Coast. Like cheap Japanese stereo equipment - we want more lights per dollar!
