You have to read the new post, man (link below).
Chicago was a popular spot according to the poll, but I could find no venus to support us there and the itinerary was coming up pretty shallow for things that would be appealing to the broad interests of the entire group . A tropical cruise or all-inclusive family camp is broad enough to appeal to a vast majority who are trying to double this trip as a retreat AND vacation, whereas the options for Chicago were too taste-specific for what we were aiming for. Orlando was a development that solidified after the original poll was conducted, and which would be added as a bonus option. I had thought about narrowing the poll, but in order to get good deals, we need to start making some solid decisions very soon. I was trying to see where people would be willing to go. Based off of that and all the information that I wrote in the new post, we chose Dallas and Orlando.
We wanted to be able to have a coheisive itinerary for bringing the whole group closer together - which meant not breaking into special interest groups for the majority of it. There's a balance, I know.. But this is the best that our little planning comittee was able to throw together in the spare time we carved out for it. Hope it works for a lot of people
We only want it if the Holy Spirit weaves it all together and is lifted up. He will provide

And there IS always next time...
This is the great experiment.
