I can see the positive sides of it. Especially when it comes to ride on ICE and EIG. I just thought about the weather, England, in january *shiver*
I think Barcelona was very nice in every way. The hotell was really nice, just to bad it was a bit off. But overall, top notch.
I think the issue is about location outside Europe or not. As you said, one major thing about CAP is about meeting up and having a good time togheter. Can we do this and at the same time have a really nice location, its a plus.
