I say let's do it! TropicalFlyer has volunteered his (or is it her's...sorry I don't know) services to handle the island logistics...getting a good deal on a hotel, pupu planning, what color (that's colour to you MerryFlyer) for the dinkie umberellas, plenty of backscratchers for those "Tropical Itch" drinks...that sort of thing. We need to determine the following:

1. The Date
2. The Island(s) Ohau would be cheapest for both hotel and air no doubt and would allow members on a budget a better chance at attending, plus TropicalFlyer lives on Ohau, which would make it easier for him to organize. But maybe we could add on a couple of days on another island for those whose finances permit it.
3. The Hotel - do we want TropicalFlyer to see if he can get us a deal at one hotel or do we all just want to take care of our own arrangements, or a combination of both?
4. The Air - I think it's safe to say that you're on your own, baby! Last one to put in for an Upgrade is a rotten egg!
5. The Agenda - we don need no steeking agenda! Dis is Hawaii, brudda. Jus show up and enjoy! I think just some meeting times and places will do just fine, don't you?
6. Excursions - maybe we could plan an optional group trip of some sort...sailing, snorkeling, touring, round-the-world all six Star Alliance partners trip?
7. Special Events - I say we all meet at the Honolulu Red Carpet Club and harrass the receptionists with bogus upgrade requests...you know, we all whip out our Premier, PE, and 1K cards and make a scene...sort of a Dueling Elite Status thing. Many laughs I'm sure. Actually the RCC there is very nice and the bar makes killer Mai Tais from scratch!

Your suggestions?
