Echelon's Miami idea seems good to me. South Florida in the off-season is one of the greatest places to visit. Almost all of the world-class facilities that are geared to seasonal crowds are running full blast but are easy to get into and frequently heavily discounted. Just avoid an event weekend, such as the tennis tournament on Key Biscayne or a golf event anywhere.
And getting there in off-season is no more than $250 a head from anywhere in the country.
However, some of us who were forced to miss the Party in Provence for uncontrollable reasons are ready for the next party anwhere in the world and, never having visited Oz, would also certainly be interested in going there.
