Skyfall Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 It's been discussed here previously, but nothing much ever came to fruition. Anybody up for a Worldwide FOH Destination "Conference" or Cruise??? We could get some great group rates probably, and if it's a hit, we can make it an annual "conference" with a different destination every year!.
Natedog Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Quixmala. Stayed there once before a few yrs ago and would love to go back! Great place for a conference.
khomeinist Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I think Colombia would be QUITE AMUSING. Cartegena gets my vote.
TomBolivar Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I have never been on a cruise, but I heard most have banned smoking in most areas. Smokers, including those enjoying cigars, are confined to certain places on the ship. Might be troublesome. I voted for London. Really neat place to visit.
Skyfall Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 I voted Bahamas because I think it would be fun to have a beach destination as well as a casino to enjoy, and I don't care for some of the other areas in the Caribbean that have casinos - (if that's what you want to call them). A big ass FOH real life poker tourney would be a blast! Bahamas is also a easy trip to make for all of the US, Canadian, UK members and enticing enough for the ones farther away to try and make the trip too. Fly direct or to Atlanta or Miami and get a connector and you are there in no time. I also like the idea of a cruise, which would have a casino, we would just have to pick the right one that would allow smoking. (they do exist) Mexico or (other Caribbean all inclusive) in addition to a great group rate, would probably be the most value for your buck.
El Presidente Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 November Partagas Festival next year. Stay at the Nacional. I will book a house big enough for a series of three parties over the week. I can arrange the itinerary with Jose/Toby.
El Presidente Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 For our US bretheren, I am sure we can arrange a person to person tour

El Presidente Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 When is this festival? Third week November. I will confirm the dates in the next few weeks unless someone else already has the details. The West Australian crew are locked in so I am looking at taking some 10-20 Aussies out of here. A coupe of things on the itineraries excluding the parties at my place : Visit to Pinar and Prieto's magnificent finca. : Day on the beach/bar/music/BBQ : Blind tasting with Hamlet. A Hamlet hosted lunch. : A Bus for the week...taking us where and wherever my whim desires. Bus will run 10am to midnight.

jacktarnold Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I'm down. I'll be done with my degree by then sounds like a nice reward for a few years of hard work. Plus get to meet more of you face to face.
Skyfall Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 All of the US brothers can organize together with me if you wish. The logistics have already been planned.
LordAnubis Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 The West Australian crew are locked in so I am looking at taking some 10-20 Aussies out of here. You had me here... if my brothers from home are going, i HAVE to go !!! YES! How do cubans look upon bearded arab looking people? I promise i wont take any haloween costumes with me
oliverdst Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I couldn't be happier. It was already my intention to go there next november. I think I opened a thread asking about the differences between Partagas Amigos and Habanos Festival some months ago. Pres, those things on itinerary are FoH stuff or they are included in the official festival schedule?
polarbear Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Holy crap Rob Depending on cost (just bought a house n all) I'm keen. Add your top end representative to the list, please
Duxnutz Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Keen as mustard, pending dates, $$$$ and an invite!
madandana Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Im in. I've been wanting to go. Love to hang out with this clan.

Just to let you know, there is a movement gathering steam to run the Havana marathon (Marabana) that week. Couple of people already "signed up" for marathon/half-marathon. I saw something recently where a runner described it as the "only marathon he has run where the participants hand out water bottles to the locals on the route!" He wasn't joking.
jangoman88 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Prez is this in Cuba that you speak of? I'd love to be able to go there and meet up...so figuring out how to us/US people there would be fantastic !!!
riazp Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 oh boy looks like there will be an invasion in havana next year! if finances allow i'll be going again next year
Puros Y Vino Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Dammit! Cuba is out for me next year. This year will have to do.
oliverdst Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Guys, I will probably go alone. If someone wants to share a bedroom let me know. There are rooms for 1 to 6 people. I don't care about being alone but it would be fun to make another pal.
