Ok - 3rd post in a row
- I've been AWOL for a week from YT as I was dealing with life
-- But I did read every single post in this thread!
But here's my input - I'm not definitely sold on it has to be one coast or the other, because regardless of where it is - the majority of us would have to fly or spend 12-plus hrs driving. So if flying is an issue than I say look for the most affordable cities.
My 1st Choices are:
Chicago
Nashville
Elsewhere in TN
East Coast
Tampa-Sarasota-Clearwater - somewhere on the beautiful Gulf coast of Florida that is dog friendly
South Carolina
Georgia
West Coast
Seattle - it would be comfortable temp there
I'm not a big camper, but I do like the idea of some big resort with cabins or something - a nice place would likely have a lodge or meeting place that could be used to do the big meetings
Actually I have been thinking all week, the biggest problem with the hotel setting, is everyone goes to their room and closes the door and it closes off interactions and conversations. If we are in a hotel we need some type of suite or party room we can have access to anytime where folks can just hang out
