Can you sort out a date for 2008 as well please? Seriously, it would give me time to save up and anywhere would do, I've never been to the States and would love anywhere (I think lol!)

I don't care what the crazy Brit has to say, I am NOT going if it is in Death Vally in Aug.
. Had to say that, it popped into my head and wouldn't leave. Actually, we are truely blessed to have some rather beautiful areas here (even Death Valley in Aug is beautiful, just hotter than hades). That would be cool to have members from overseas be able to make the trip.

Awww...that means I'll have to take TWO trips to Buffalo.
Second Prize is three trips to Buffalo....... :uhohh:

LOL! Somewhere warm would be lovely, Death Valley sounds a lot more inviting than some of the places I know here! With cheap flights like Virgin (but will they go all the way?) it should be do-able, I think your internal flights aren't too expensive either. I know I can rely on someone from here giving advice on hotels etc to stay at. Now the idea is in my head I rather like it! Sadly not this year though as my club is off to Thailand to train Muay Thai (well the pro fighters are training fulltime, us amateurs are training and holidaying) I'm going to google now and look into this!!

:btg: Hey, I'm an Erie County native. No bashing my peeps in Buffalo
Wait - I thought Boston was the 'City Which Must Never Be Insulted'.....
Buffalo, too?
Well, as long as I need not be nice to Rochester, I suppose any unpleasantry can be endured......:angel:
So you wouldn't be interested interested in combining it with a late January rock-climbing trip to the Cairngorms, say?
LOL LOL LOL... I've missed you this past week on the board Tez, I really have!
Buffalo is easy for me, Memphis would be too. Central Ohio is pretty central. St. Louis is a bit more of a stretch, but probably a pretty comfortable drive spread over two days. Beyond that it definitely starts looking like flying distance.

I made it from Ft. Laud to Cleve in 18 hrs..I LOVE to drive. Texas however would be a flight..
Mapquest says 18.5 hours. That is doable I suppose. I don't mind driving either. I like road trips.
I'd like to try to make this one. Looking forward to more details.

I purchased a CB radio off of E-Bay a couple of years ago that had been "tweeked" for max performance and I carry it all the time..The truckers still are the BEST way to avoid "Smokey Bear", and the on going conversations always seem to make the trip go faster...
21 hours to Buffalo...
St Louis is a little better... only 16
Seriously now, what's wrong with Winnipeg?

The split into regions makes good sense, as does a national convention..But a week in lenght?? That's an awful long time...
T.H.O.'s that could cut diamonds. :anic: THAT'S what's wrong with Winnipeg! :lol2:Seriously now, what's wrong with Winnipeg?
I heard the snows down to under 1/2 foot by August and its warm enough to only wear 4 uniforms while training....

Y'all are a bunch of wusses...really...it ain't THAT cold in August.
However, to be fair. There is only one month on record that Winnipeg has not ever recorded any snow, that is July.
When it gets nippy, keep 'em warm. . .yippee! Check this out.
Just for the record, I do not endorse the use of such a product! The link is for educational purposes only.
The perfect place for any meet and greet is in small town USA Alma, Michigan! :rofl: Seriously though I would love to make it to Buffalo and we will see what happens this year. I am planning to hook up with Drac and Exile at the Combat Hapkido seminar in May and I will be teaching in two weekends down in Texas for Terry! Definately I am looking forward to warm weather and you all are invited if you can make it.
