And there are plenty of ways to have a great F2F.
Perzacktly. I do think that it would be nice, one of these days, to have an F2F at more of a self-contained resorty place where the emphasis would be on hanging out and there would be plenty of on-site stuff for people to do.
High on my list is a good facility. Easy to get to is first to get a nice turnout, but having a comfy place to hang out when not going on field trips is important.
Very much so, Laura. I'd love to have a Hospitality Suite that was actually a nice place to hang out and slounge.

Does Club Med do group rates?
Deeply allergic to resorty places over here, but that's a different strokes thing, I guess.
I've had some marvellous times in resorts, but Club Med does raise a rash.
Personally, I'd prefer a resort that didn't have the sort of YOU WILL HAVE FUN OR DIE TRYING vibe that the big resort chains seem to have. Something small and more lodge-like could be fun. I would like to have a good array of comfy furniture, beverages and snacks readily available, and some interesting walks and outdoor activities in the area.
I had a great time at the Pelican resort in Coff's Harbour. The place was overrun with eastern water dragons. So cool. (Plus, soldier crabs on the beach.)
Um. Probably not a viable location for the F2F.
The only Club Med I have been to is about an hour north of me and we had a great time. I enjoy the inclusive resorts. Pressure to join group activities may exist but I am immune to it.
Any resort I have been to have been rather pricey. I don't know if better deals are available.
We could all lie and say we were interested in buying timeshares at some nice location.

Coolfont Resort in West Virginia is nice. Great cabins/chalets for lodging, and some are big enough to host smaller parties, if not Prom. I haven't spent much time there, but the town reportedly has all sorts of spa-y and nature-y activities.
But that's on the wrong coast until at least 2007, and even then it might be too hard to get to.
