2004 Firestop Industry Conference

 

We are looking for a location for our 2004 Firestop Industry Conference November 9-13, 2004, which will culminate in out 5-year anniversary Gala. Meetings are planned for November 10, 11, 12 and Golf or another activity on the 13th. To help our Program Committee make a decision, please vote on the following options

  • USA - San Francisco, CA
    This may be too cold in November, alternatively we can look at San Diego or Santa Barbara for Spring 2005
  • Europe - Dublin, Ireland
    The climate may also be disadvantageous and besides too far to fly.
  • Caribbean - St. Thomas
    Airfare would be about $510 as of 12/16/03. Great Shopping, etc.
    • St. Thomas, Charlotte Amalie Harbor
      • One hotel option would be the Frenchman's Reef and Resort overlooking the harbor, or on the beach. Closer to the airport, convenient to downtown. Rate for rooms is about $179 bluff, $229 beach.
    • Sugar Bay
      • A second option in St. Thomas would be the Westin St. Thomas Sugar Bay. Away from the airport, the other side of the island. Cheaper, kind of isolated, but close to a golf course. It may be more desirable to be close to shopping, beach, and airports. $140 night for 2 people.
  • Mexico
    • Cancun
      Maybe Cancun has a bit too much beach and not many other options for entertainment as ruins are over an hour away. However, tax deductibility is an advantage. Manufacturers may have restrictions on travel outside the Continental US.
    • Ixtapa
      Airfare should be about $500-600 (from Chicago, a/o 12.16.03)
      • Hotel options would include NH Krystal Ixtapa - About $95 - $135. Bogart's Restaurant is here!
      • or the Radisson - About $130 (Single) - $210 (Suites) Across from the golf course, on the beach.
    • Acapulco
      Comparable to Ixtapa. Find Information at the Visitors Bureau. A good hotel may be the El Cano
