I will be happy with any or all P cities on the east coast, since that seems to be where we're headed.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Wasn't Seattle close to 20%?
Anyone interested in storming Provincetown? Walkable, beaches, very Buffista-friendly culture. (Not sure about airports - I've only ever driven there.)
I would love that, but I think getting there would prove difficult.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think that's basically why NYC never got serious consideration either.
I tried scouting for NYC hotel deals last time and got nowhere close to the price range we generally aim for. Even in Brooklyn.

Jess, I added to my post. You're right, SF is 14% and Philly is a bit higher. I think what I was remembering were additional hotel fees and surcharges in Philly that weren't necessarily taxes (same in SF).

That's one of the pluses of Providence - it's an hour +/- from Boston. And there's a mass transit option: [link]
It's also where buses to the Cape and the Islands change so I think there are probably decent bus options from NYC as well.

Hell, I remember Nora scouted Salem, MA, and even outside of the big tourist season (aka October), the options were seriously limited/expensive.

I know Amtrak goes through Providence on the Boston/New York run, so there's that too.

I wish there were Buffistas who lived in Charleston or Savannah, 'cause I would love to visit either of those.

Those would be neat locations, too. Although I know Charleston can be very, very humid in the Summer. But that's true for all of East Coast, yes?

I seriously considered doing a detour to Savannah on my road trip down to the Atlanta F2F, but it would have been trying to do too much in one trip. As it was, some of the trip got short shrift.
