Cruise sounds like an idea, out of Miami :) 3 day cruise to bahamas is not too expensive.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/30/02 02:43PM >>> I had the pleasure of meeting some of the oracle-l list members during the recent IOUG in San Diego. I also brought my family with me to San Diego, to combine my business with their pleasure. The IOUG (rightly perhaps) did not cater for any family-related events (although the Big Bash may have been a good place to also invite family members). So, I would support and seriously consider a Oracle-l conference, particularly one on a cruise ship. I would even volunteer to assist with organising ... Any other takers or ideas Paul -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 2:24 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <snif!> Gee, thanks all! <honnnnk!> <snif> OK, I'm better now... <grin!> On the idea that Mogens started... How about an ORACLE-L conference on a cruise ship? I had a beer or two with Suzy on a cruise from Vancouver to Alaska on a woefully under-attended "Geek Cruise" (www.geekcruises.com) last summer. I understand that the "Oracle Odyssey" cruise from San Diego this year was even less well-attended. Too bad, because it is an excellent format with a lot of great content! I'm hopeful that Captain Neil would be all over the idea if he knew that 40-50+ people and families would sign up? These things don't happen quickly, but everyone is hopeful that 2003 will see the uphill side of a better economic picture. Maybe the timing would be good. Neil works with Holland-America, which does Caribbean, Baja, and Alaska cruises, but maybe they might also do something closer (or in the midst of) Europe? Or maybe halfway (i.e. Greenland, Iceland)? Just a thought... ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 11:48 AM > > Tim is an exceptionally good guy, and I've had the pleasure of enjoying > a few brews with him here in Denver.
