Where's home?

This, like most ideas, are good!  While it is great to get everyone together in one place, at the same time, there is a downside.  Take the ERU last year, for instance.  It's great, if you happen to live in KY or a couple of hours away.  But, if you happen to live in Canada , West coast, etc., not so great.  For those of us that still work for a living and have limited time off, we have to decide how high of a priority something like this would be, when placed in perspective with all of the other trips we may want to take. The smaller regional rallies idea sounds good in that the rest can always come, if we want to make the journey.
