Rudi you got the idea. However, if we can identify a city as paradise like city then we can use that also. Honolulu is the grandfather city for these parties and we can use that style of city selection if everybody is up for it.

Tokyo would just be one possibility. It occured to me that as a transfer point for many flights to the rest of Asia, we might be able to do something here easily. I would love to do SIN, KUL, etc. as alternatives, but I know that most of the year I am here and can host one here even if it is just for one night. The cost issue is without question true though so we would have to be creative if one were done here.

More importantly though guys and everyone, how about the timing being next year as opposed to this?
