Dan,

Ain't it the truth. One solution.....more Do's.

Monitor,

Thanks for the tips on Florida. I hope you and Mrs. Monitor can make it this time and not get stuck in A'dam. Will keep you posted.

Stimpy,

I really like the Shanghai idea and having spent three years there I think I could manage something pretty interesting. Hmmmm... maybe a mini-Do there at some point. I want to give that some serious thought. Int'l somewhere mini-Do is a must next year I think. This year Paris and Santiago are on the cards with other FTers organizing so I will shoot for a possible "this side of the world" mini-Do next year at some point (Shanghai and Perth looming large on that planning horizon) as well as a larger more organized PiP somewhere based on the votes gathered here.

Nanook,

Got you down for the list and your vote noted. Thank you.

Efrem,

Spoken like a true Mileage Master. I shall definitely keep you apprised of the developments for any event shaping up in Perth or over here somewhere.

Techgirl,

Thank you for the offer. I may seek your assitance on best ways to handle some of the logistics. I still fancy BBQ down in your neck of the woods though. May have to stop by in December when I am there visiting my brother.

Keep the comments coming folks. It is all great stuff and helps me figure out the best thing(s) to set up for everybody.

Mike
