NO! Unless there's room for all of us!

How about a cruise?

pshrynk · 08-31-2009, 11:14 AM

Well I could fit two others in the suite, as long as they are quiet...

actually with an "over the pole" flight, Seattle or Vancouver is closer to Europe than NY.

I'm not keen on Vegas, but why was it already dissmissed? it is actually quite inexpensive.

I would like to have any location be not terribly expensive, for instance, unfortunately (sorry Grace) Hawaii is fairly spendy, as is Aspen, Vail and other places.

David and I are talking about going to England and France for our 25th wedding anniversary in November 2010. God and children willing, of course.

You can't be a shellfish you're an otter...

And a fly hardly uses any space at all. I'll use the ceiling, no one does.

They take pets, right? (asks the small, quiet, well-behaved puppy)

yvanleterrible · 08-31-2009, 06:08 PM

New York could be nice but do we have hosts there? Paris has the manpower, culture and room enough. London also but who would be willing to host it?

Hey, I'd be willing to go to Sydney, but we need somebody there to host it.

Cat and I would be willing to host Montreal but I want to leave the frickin country fer once. BTW we could do it in some ski region at the heart of winter for those who would be interested in tasting rrrrealll cold.

Sorry Krisk about Vegas, I was the one who apparently nixed it because I wouldn't like the place at all; I don't gamble and watch shows, I'm more of a cultural buff and prefer museums. If the vote is Vegas I'll go but not for a full week.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 08-31-2009, 07:06 PM

If there's anyone else in or around London who would be prepared to help host it, I'm up for helping host a meet up in London.

I don't particularly care for vegas either, it is just that it is fairly in-expensive.

as a snow creature that is misplaced in CA for now (I teach skiing part time in my normal habitat), I would LOVE to be in a snow environment. alas, probably fairly pricey though (however Sun Peaks in Kamloops is fairly reasonable, a bitch to get to though)

badgoodDeb · 08-31-2009, 08:24 PM

Ok, you want snow, and somebody else mentioned "island" .... how about Antarctica?

Or maybe Iceland is indeed the best fit for the above desires.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 08-31-2009, 08:26 PM

Given the not too distant past, I'm not so sure the UK contingency from MR would be welcome in Iceland...

Must have been quite a rowdy party! Hooligans?
