I voted for Charlotte, NC, but SC would be my second choice. I'm sure it will be great whereever it is. Looking forward towards another great gettogetherHandshake

I voted for Charleston... would fly in and rent a car like I did in 2007 in Carson City.   I could kill 2 birds with one stone... get to see all my C3VR buds and go to Savannah and Beaufort. Clap   I was stationed for 5 years in the 60's/70's at Marine Air Station Beaufort and my daughter was born at the Naval Hospital there.  Also, might get to see Clint's beautiful 64 convertible again that was "born" on the same day as my wife and I were married.  Hug  GO CHARLESTON!!!   Thumbs Up

Update:  Just talked to Margie and we decided to drive instead of fly.  Could make a better vacation that way... only not drive the Vette.  Too far in it.  So, lets keep those Charleston votes comin' in.  Big smile

ceastham1 said: I can create a VERY NICE agenda for Charleston. These events could be included :

The Hunley
Fort Moultrie (Sullivan's Island)
Folly Beach lighthouse
Isle of Palms
The Battery
Aquarium
King Street & Old City Market
Dinner Cruise
Roadtrip to Savannah
 
Food !?!

Shem Creek
Hymans
Boathouse
Ye Ole Fashioned Ice Cream 

many more ...

You not only made my decision on which to vote for much easier, but you also just nominated yourself to create the agenda!

And to be honest folks, much of the battle of creating one of these gatherings and making them as much fun as they have been, has been getting people to plan the agendas.  I simply do not have the time to do it myself, especially when the location is a place I am unfamiliar with (which is 99.99% of the country).  So, it looks like Charleston already has a comfy lead, but I would strongly urge folks to vote for Charleston since we have someone there who knows the area and is willing to plan it out for us.  THANKS CLINT!

Also, thanks for getting this thread started.  My schedule has been insane the past month and I have not been able to get the ball rolling on this by Labor Day like I said I would.

Let's get the voting done and close this down by 9/30/2011.

proposed dates for consideration : 
 
May 16 - 20 2012
 
Avoids Memorial Day weekend
 
Avoids 1st 2 weeks of June crowds and schools are still in (less tourist traffic)   
 
Avoids the summer intense heat (sunburn still possible yet optional) 
 
Might get a better rate due to low occupancy
