Gauging from some feedback, it looks like its feasible to get a real X-"World"-wide meet going in cancun if there are enough people willing to spend their vacation with fellow members. this would probably be the most compelling way to get our international family a chance to get together in a place they would enjoy... yes, that means everyone from all over the world is invited.
Here's some details to spice up the incentive for ya'll:
Price on average is $1500USD per person for two people that includes round trip airfare in the continental USA for 8 days/7 nights of ALL INCLUSIVE resort fun in sunny cancun. You get a single or double room with a jacuzzi tub (all this is standard).
I'll work on pricing for large groups/conventions to see how low I can get it. I think kids are an extra $49USD/day in your room, and $75/USD for extra adults in your room. But if i do get some serious intentions, then I will get you folks exact prices...
What does ALL INCLUSIVE mean? it means you pay nothing, zilch, nada, zippo, zero for food, drinks (yes alcohol too), room service, wireless internet, non motorized activities, tours to ancient ruins/water parks/shopping/etc, etc. you don't have to tip if you don't want to. I did because the service is spectacular, they really do know how to treat you like royalty there... you may/may not get a 25 min masage, facial, pedicure/manicure with your package too.. i dunno yet.
the intended resort is the Moon Palace found at
www.palaceresorts.com for its larger gathering functions and family atmosphere.
obviously, you can't bring your X to show off, but i guess you could wear a mod list on your shirt?
if you are interested, please let me see a show of hands by voting... i'm going again regardless in Feb and June of 2007 because it is that good there. We have at least 8 months to 1 year to get this thing planned so its highly possible if you guys are up for fun in Mexico! Even if the group going is very small, we can still do this!
(by the way, nothing says you have to hang out with each other everyday... just at least for one dinner one night... the rest of the time is yours to spend anyway you want)
