B
Rob,
I'd say that you seem to have more prejudice than facts in your
opinions. The US is fairly cheap right now, and there are places with
international airports that have quite inexpensive hotels and
facilities. Nobody here has mentioned the expected size of such a
gathering, which will greatly influence what is selected. The
delegations from Brazil and most of the Americas other than the US will
find it expensive and occasionally difficult to get almost anywhere
that is not on a fairly high volume and at least semi-direct flight.
Switzerland and many other destinations in Europe are more than a bit
expensive on the hotel side, but, as I mentioned, many of the smaller
and less political Carribean locations are both reasonably priced and
fairly easy to get to, without much of a record of violence or
prejudice of any kind. Of course, if you go in with a chip on your
shoulder, you will probably find someone almost anywhere that will be
willing to take a try at knocking it off. Let your conscience be your
guide.
