I might be. My parents' have a new place in Naples, but I've yet to visit. Good excuse for a short FL vacation.

Looks like Davenport is a 3 hour drive, so I could rent a car and head over. Sun Country Air has cheap flights f/Minneapolis to Naples, so it's doable for a 4 day weekend. I'd have to skip a Chicago gtg, but Florida sounds like more fun - sans wife (cough).

That's fine. GTG's never turn out as expected, but even 5 or 6 MB'ers can have fun. If you can get a handful of people, I could probably pull it off.

Wow, that'd be a blast. I suppose if you make a sticky here and get the word out on some other forums, you'll get some good numbers. Seem to be a lot of FL MB owners.
