For Canadians and USA people, and plan something for next spring - say April - May 2004, so everyone's has time to save up if we're flying, etc.
Pick a Northern Central area that would be easily accessible to major airlines, etc. , so we could get people to come from all over - even Australia! And accomodate those of us with less than healthy budgets
Just a suggestion - the organizer in me Idea-wise, anyway!! Ohio would be good - or maybe the Chicago area? Kansas? Oz?
