I'd think the US would have at least two, maybe more? San Francisco and New England seem like obvious spots to me...

Airfare from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota to Iceland: $1100USD
Airfare from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota to say Boston, MA: $230USD


I really can´t figure out how you get those prices..

if you can get to Boston for $230 then it's only $549 return ticket to Iceland from Boston, so that makes it $779 from St.Paul to Iceland and back ! or you could just fly directly from St.Paul to Iceland and back for $549 :)

just checked.. $599 return ticket from San Fransisco to Iceland, direct flight.
and $549 from Orlando to Iceland return ticket.

You're just looking for some place as cold as Iceland : )

How about Nome? Maybe we can get Exxon to sponsor the dog sleds ...

That group can select the location and get the ball rolling on making it happen.


This is the only way to decide short of having some kind of sponser decide for you.

lol.. pick the country that is as far away as you can get from most DPC member ;)

how about Antartica ? that way everyone has to travel similar distance and it can't be in favor of any specific member :)

just remember to bring a thermal blanket for your camera ;)

I disagree somewhat. I believe that this event should have an organizational staff selected first. Then that staff will select the venue. You will never get a quorum on anything from a poll here. You would have to trust the organizational staff to choose an acceptable place to do this.

I have been a part of lots of different organizations where national annual conventions are part of the norm. The members of the organization are never polled to choose a meeting place. The organizers always determine that and then the members choose whether or not they want to attend. The organizers always do a lot of research into making the event venue acceptable to most.

When I think to myself what I would want out of a DPC GTG, the opportunity to oggle boobs with Bear_Music is very high up on the list.
 04/03/2006 08:20:28 PM · #148
I just want to party with other DPC peeps. I'd go to an event in Eastern US. I probably would only bring my SD300 too ... I'd rather carry a backpack full of beer. I wouldn't mind NYC or Boston.
 04/03/2006 08:32:37 PM · #149
Iceland sounds so appealing! It would only cost me $5022 to fly there from here...LOL (and no, that is not first class!)
