I have been to both reunions so far and thought that the cost of each of them was pricy too (compared to one of my regular vacations). But Dave is right you DO get your money's worth, I am very happy I went to the both of them and am planning to go to Baltimore too. The goodies are part of the cost, Your staying in a fine hotel, each reunion they have had great food, at providence they had a meal Saturday night that would have probably cost about $40-50 per person at a resturant. And best of all your whole 4 day weekend is geared to your passion of lighthouses. And it's probably more organized than the time you took the whole gang across country to Wally World only to find out that is was closed for repairs (The moose out front should have told you that) Plus you'll come home with a fine reunion exclusive lighthouse. And lastly I think this one will be a sellout too! I think Providence was in the $1400+ neighborhood for a family of 4 and it was a sellout and then some.
