Need a meeting site

[POINTER94]

Had a meeting with my boss and we decided we needed to have a regional meeting. I suggested that we rent a houseboat for the meeting. (sly little bestard ain't I) With all great ideas comes the responsibility, its my job to find a place in 30 days.<br /><br />Requirements include, a warm climate in the Northeast, proximity to an airport of reasonable size, and a really big houseboat..<br /><br />Any ideas????

Pointer, Cumberland Lake in Kentucky is a big lake with very many and huge houseboats for rent. SBN may know more about it. The weather there should be great by then if not now. Good luck.

Re: Need a meeting site

Thanks guys,<br /><br />Yep I need to have the meeting within 30 days. It is going to be 83 degrees in Wisconsin today. I think that the Ohio, Kentucky area would be best. I found several different locations within this area. I found one place with an 82 footer wich is probably what it will take to keep us from killing each other after just a few days.<br /><br />I will have to get a preliminary OK from the big man so I don't waste my time, but I will keep you all updated as to what I decide. <br /><br />pointer

OOps. That's Lansing, IA.<br /><br />Michigan can't suck hard enough to get the Mississippi over that far.
