Somewhere in the middle of the country that has a very popular airport because those are the ones that have discounts. In fact, to contradict myself, it might be just as cheap for me to fly to the west coast on a special deal than somewhere closer. I suppose we could alternate - west coast one year - east coast the next. I put a new subject line. The mind is boggling. We can have loads of fun deciding who (will coordinate), where, and when. I'm real cheap when it comes to hotels, so I'd like a place with a campground. Perhaps tie it in with an outfitters demo day.>> I agree with Sandy. Washington DC would be an ideal location. There are several campgrounds along the Potomac River not far from DC. Maybe one or more of the local outfitters would be interested in participating. << I've been trying to convince Ralph Diaz to organize a Folding Kayak convention. It would be neat if we could do that and then we would get to try different types of folding yaks.>> Great idea! Count us in. << Another idea might be to arrange for it to coincide with a "freebie" holiday - ie Memorial Day in May or Columbus Day in October (but I guess a lot of people don't get Columbus Day off - it's great to be a government worker!)>> Sounds good too!
