This is carrying over from onefreeman's Trip Report topic discussing a HNL party hosted by TropicalFlyer. A few ideas I would like to bounce off:

(1) HNL sounds good and I would be in. It would probably have to be planned fairly well in advance for people to to plan etc.

(2) I would suggest NYC and LAX/SFO as possible alternates, as I suspect that HNL might be difficult for many FlyerTalk members to easily reach.
