I think we could pull this off next year without breaking the bank. If we center around a Saturday event somewhere, with a wacko get together the night before then the cost would be mostly getting there and 1 or 2 nights in a motel, which we have had good luck with in the past. More extensive pre or post bus trips could be added for those wishing to extend their vacations as has also been done in the past, or hooking up with an existing tour somewhere along the way might work. I think of the great turnouts that we had in San Diego, Door County, and the one I really wish I hadn't missed, the Bar-B-Q at Paul's beach house in the outer banks as examples. And I agree with Paul's point that someplace new for most of us would be neat.
