If we hold it in FL, I think I could arrange a visit to a couple nice fishy oriented places.....Such as Wayne Ng's Discus distributor for the USA (who btw Joe is not far from you.....he's just outside of Orlando) Or we could go down to Miami on the last day and pick up some cheapo fish from the Importers down there, ya know like Neons for 11 cents each or Sterbai cories for $1.50 each...that kind of stuff, lol.

How about an Amazon River cruise?
:D
Yes! Discus might be there!

How about someone else getting the shots and passport needed for the trip? Of course, round-trip tickets would be nice too...! .. :D

Seriously, that would be a great trip to take!
 
We could stay with the Big Mouse in Orlando..The 7 Seas exhibit was closed both times I've been there.
 
Well, I am not known around here much, so I don't really have anything to add, other than I have an annual get-together with a bunch of online friends,(from an online computer game) and it's SO much fun! It makes such a difference getting to meet in-person and know who you're chatting with. I highly recommend it! Mine is actually next weekend, yay! :dance:

If you guys set something like this up, you might try Hotel Planner and get group rates. It makes it easy for everyone to register and our group usually gets a hotel conference room for a Friday night Meet & Greet. Tons of fun, I hope you all do this!
 
Tuolumne, is your online group a local one or widespread? Where did you choose to meet?
 
My group has people from all over the world, actually. We usually select several locations and then ask people to indicate which ones they would be able to attend, then choose the highest-attendance spot. This is our 3rd annual "picnic" and I don't know where the first one was, but last year was St. Louis, MO and this year it's Chicago. In our group, we get the highest amount of attendance if it's located somewhat centrally.

Last year we had people drive in from Florida and Canada even. People flew in from Oregon and California. So far we haven't gotten any of our Ausstralian members to show up though...I imagine that would be a bit expensive for a weekend trip for them. :sad:
 
I would REALLY like to go, but me being so young, I'd probably shy out in front of all of you!
If I wanted ANY chance of going at all, it would have to be near Saint Louis, MO and my mom would have to be with me. Which I wouldn't mind, but if any of the ppl used language, my mom might not let me on AC anymore. And if I'm going to get banned by my mom when she meets some of you, I'd rather miss it.

HC, you can hang with me. I have 2 girls, they are older than you, but it would be ok. Do you live in IL or MO? I grew up in southern IL in a town called Sparta just southeast of St Louis over in Il. My cousins there have kids your age.
