    Guys, lets consider cost.

    The absolute cheapest place to fly to in the USA is FLORIDA.
    Orlando has flights going out of the country, and its the cheapest you can get! Lodging is also cheap, and there is plenty to do!
    Just my 5cents

    Florida would be my first choice; it is typically the cheapest place to fly to/from anywhere in the US as mentioned. Depending on the origin, either Orlando or Tampa will be cheaper. Another plus for Florida is that it is more central for people from the US and Europe. I've also seen DIRECT, round-trip flights between Tampa/London around $400(winter) - $650(summer) on British Airways. It typically costs anywhere from $200-$400 to fly round-trip anywhere in the US to/from Florida.

    If people are planning to stay for a week somewhere then Las Vegas is actually very affordable if you get a package deal with airfare/hotel combined. Denver would be a good choice for people who wish to see something less touristy and scenic. My choice for Europe would be London since it's rare to find direct flights to/from the US to other European cities.

    I'm unlikely to be able to visit most places since I'm married with children but I would do my best to attend.

    All prices are in US Dollars.
