Typically at the end of this year or at the beginning of next year we put out a call for inputs from the members on where and when they would like to have the next fly-in. We generally do it in May but the location has included Key West, Oklahoma City and Las Vegas.
By starting this message thread, we are already addressing the issue of where, since I expect and hope that members will jump in and share their views. It would be useful if you would give us some additional information. Here are some topics I would like to see addressed:
1. Would there be a charge by you or
www.caribbeanskytours.com for putting it together, providing all of the logistics and handling all of the documents and entry permits?
2. What are the government fees for such documents and entry permits? Any other fees?
3. What city/airport is the suggested destination (Cancun?) and what are the typical flight distances from Brownsville, TX or Key West, FL?
4. For those uninsured or where the insurance doesn't have the requisite coverage, do you have an idea of the cost of getting insurance or adding the requisite coverage?
5. Around May, what is the range of hotel costs?
6. What is the cost of fuel in Mexico?
There may be other questions, but the intent here is to provide the members a fairly clear view of the flight involved and the costs beyond those of the meeting itself (meeting rooms and cleanup, meeting room coffee and sodas, presentation equipment rental, etc.).
Thanks,
Ernie
