Mikey, we did do it again and will do it a third time.
Unfortunately, we tend to wear out our welcome quite quickly. When I went back to FLL in November, I was met by the local gendarmerie and advised not to not even consider having the same group come back.
Hence, like Nathan Detroit's floating crap game we sought a new location. And what more suitable spot for a floating Delta Meet than Venice?
Not surprisingly, when we left the city, the carabinieri gave me the same advice as the FLL cops. Hence the next Delta Meet will be in Tel Aviv in November.
Of course, there will be other Meets before then -- San Antonio certainly looks like it will be a winner. But the others are not officially sanctioned Delta Forum Meets. To be granted such certification a Meet must have the Cholula/Canarsie/Dovster combination present -- with C&C, as usual, harassing D.
This, in fact, explains why Tel Aviv was chosen for the next Delta Forum Meet: It was the only city for which Cholula was willing to fork out the SkyMiles necessary for my transportation.

Thanks, Dovster! I sure would love to join you all, but I don't know yet if it is even remotely possible.

Dovster.....you’re the only Israeli I know. I realize that’s a sad thing to have to admit but it is what it is.
But I digress.
If your diet is in any way typical of other Israeli’s, then I have no doubt why dentists there are held in such high esteem.

Actually, most Israelis love green and red garbage. It is all over the place. See? I am not only weird by American standards but by Israeli as well!

Yes, I think it would be a wonderful idea for you to come here for a few months, make a small fortune (even by American dental standards) and have an illicit affair with an American-Israeli. I am certain that I will have no problem in finding one for you.
BTW: I am always serious!
