So far the following folks have responded in a somewhat affirmative manner:

dale@olywa.net (Dale Easley) {and others from Olympia}
"Tobin T. Copley" <tobin@freenet.vancouver.bc.ca>  {busless though}
raven@halcyon.com (Mark McCulley) {not over xmas break}
"J. Stutsman" <johnnys@u.washington.edu> {hoping to get his head(s) together!}

Not too great a response given Joel's stats of people west of the mts:
WA.W        29
OR.NW       14
CAN.BC.Van  12
CAN.BC.Vic   6

Perhaps this holiday break isn't really a good time? After this break, we
basically get one 3-day weekend per month until Spring break in early
April.
I'm still game (in fact I'm going regardless), but I'm starting to think
about where to go - right now its a tossup between the Oregon coast and the
NW Washington coast. But I'm still open. So whaddaya think? More takers?
Wait until April and the weather warms up?
