I'm new to the group, but has anyone thought about having an MPI convention in Hawaii? It would be great to meet everyone and tour the sites.

And if not in Hawaii, then at least in Las Vegas, eh? I don't think my budget would get me to Hawaii, but I bet I could manage Las Vegas.

Wish I could Mack, but time and money is a huge issue for me. We'll be saving up for years for our family trip to Hawaii. There definitely won't be anything in the piggy bank for a "Magnum Convention" trip. Heck, I barely have enough money to buy the DVDs!

I support this idea fully, although it might be easier to organize as a series of small group meetups. Perhaps James could fly members out to Hawaii whenever they reach 153 posts?

LOL Shermy! More like 153000 posts.

Hey, maybe I can bum a ride from IslandHopper(s) like Magnum does. I'll pay ya later. I'm good for it.

If you guys do get together, make sure to take some pics!

My vote is for Hawaii. Everyone should go there at least once because it is truly paradise. Round trip fares to Hawaii are fairly cheap here in Southern California--I've recently seen deals as low as $299.

Well, thought I'd throw it out there. If I hit the lottery (yeah right) we can all go. Let me run the odds through the Naval Intelligence computer for odds on winning.

A convention ? Oh dear ... Last PI convention in Hawaii, I ended poisoned ...

My vote is for Las Vegas. That destination is normally a fairly reasonable airfare for all points of the Country. You California folks truly have it made, $299.00 air fares to Hawaii, thats about what it costs me to park at O'Hare when I go out of town for a week,,,,,LOL......

I hear ya Steve.... plus the $300 fare to get me to California.....

Although I do agree it would be GREAT to go with fellow fans to experience the tidal pool together

Alright now Miss Q, now I'm getting in the mood. A cold Coops with the lads, aahh. Having swam there myself I know the rest of you MagHeads would love it. Koolau's in the back ground, Rabbit island is your view and gentle waves. Start saving aluminum cans.

Funny thing, these young people (from Hawaii ?) organized a real Magnum Mania party, in 2007, April, 6th, look at this :

Now that's a party! I was kicking myself because I was in Oahu April 3 to the 8th last year and thinking I should have been parting with these guys since I have some true Magnum, PI shirts. However, looking at the photos closely, I think they were somewhere in the Southwest, like Arizona, not Hawaii.

Yeah, I think they are in Arizona, at least that is where the red mustang is licensed. Sure looks like they had a great time. Did TM ever drink Tecate out of a can? Who cares, looks like a great time. Great pics.
