We would have no problem going to Palm Springs however I don't want to interfer with whatever you all think is better for all of you. Maybe you should take a vote on which site would work out the best. That would be the first step. Then the next step would be to take a vote on the month that would be best. I think you have to start from scratch here to see who may come and who can't come. Reservations for hotels should be made way ahead of time, and you can always cancel in case of emergency about 24 hours before arrival.
