I agree with both Spike & Brian. It seems like May 13 seems to work for most (& I just cleared it with hubby & Carwy), so it seems like that may be a good week to go. Also, as Brian said, no sense in back-pedaling if it's already mostly agreed upon. The biggest issue in planning these types of things are that many factors (including people's finances, schedules, etc.) may hinder their ability to go.

I only have one question.
What kind of fishing is there in Vages? trout, bass, catfish? what?
You know it has been a few years and I'm ready to start fishing again.

The best reasons this should be the date:
Price is right
Weather is good
Tony can probably make it
It is what we decided, why step backwards. | *sigh* BOOOOO
I can make that date ONLY if I ditch my sisters 18th birthday, which is the 20th, and I'll be shot if I do that!!! I REALLY wanna come, too... is there not another date we can do it?? |

Not meaning to sound like a be-atch but who is exactly on the committee??

On you not being able to go in May, perhaps we can make a secondary date?? Don't know for sure, but something can work....or, maybe we could do the second one in St.Augustine/Orlando?? That'd be cool & a bit closer to home for you & some of the others.. 
Just some thoughts.

It pretty much is all up to the interest level we get from the first one and what the actual turnout is. If the turnout is terrible, then it may just be up to people saying..."Let's do a weekend trip to Chicago, anyone just meet here." Hopefully, we have this every year. Quote:

Then Spike is helping out somewhat and when it comes to actually choosing a hotel, we need female perspective, so I think Camjen has stepped up for that one. Quote:

Vegas came up #1 on both, so I threw post #3 out there which was how many people would actually do a meeting in Vegas. Then in chats, Vegas just stood out the most to everyone.
As of right now.......10 people have posted their dates. And amazingly, all 10 have agreed upon the weeks of June 17 and June 24. I'll wait and see what more people say, but for May 13, only 7 people have said yes.

I just think in these terms because in the past, I've dealt with Carwy's Cancer, and there have been times where we were unable to go to visit family, schedule times to do things, etc., due to doctor appts or treatments. Additionally, there have been others who have been sick, and who's to say if they'd be feeling up to par at the time of the gathering.
Perhaps the thing I've learned in life is to enjoy it & play it by ear. I've also learned that sometimes, being spontaneous is the best way to be, whether or not it fits everyone's plans.
Again, just thinking of the "big picture" here.

Who's to say I won't have my first DKA in over 10 years the day my flight is suppose to leave? But, can we really plan around that now? No, but for most people, the more advanced of a notive they have, the better. At least in terms of getting money. I on the other hand just save money all the time, and all I need to get off work is 1 week's notice. So for me, I have no problem. But not everybody is me.
As for the spontanuity. Heck, if we did it sometime in November or December this year it would actually be pretty cheap. Like Circus Circus, right now they are giving $25 gas gift cards used at a large list of stations for every 2 nights you book. So who wants to go in a month? LOL
