I'm glad a few of you have brought up the possibility of bad weather/hurricane/whatever that could really put the damper on a cruise. I landed in Bermuda in 1987 just 12 hours before hurricame Emily devastated the island. It turned into a real adventure but I would have preferred a quieter vacation.

I see Buffalo was mentioned as an alternative to the Michigan area. I'm not familiar with the area but did travel through it to Niagara Falls about 25 years or so ago. I stayed on the Canadian side and loved it. I don't know what it is like there now.

I still like the idea of a Great Lakes location. Maybe it's time to give the collectors in that area a break.

The most important thing is still that we have a "next" reunion. Reunions bring us together and gives all of us something additional to get excited about as collectors of the greatest collectible in the world.
