What if:

1. A B&B (bed and breakfast) was run by a list member.

2. It was located in a year-around resort area--surrounded by
lots of water, forests, dunes, ski and world-class golf-resorts
and numerous other not-to-be-named-at-this-moment attractions
and photographic opportunities.  A true 4-seasons playground. 
No matter the weather, always a photographic opportunity.

3. Was near an airport with commercial airline access. (We'll
even pick you up).

4. Was within two hours drive of literally hundreds of
photographic opportunities and minutes of dozens upon dozens.

5. Guide service and driver part of the package deals.  (you
fly, we drive).

6. A well-equipped B&W darkroom was available--complete with
basic chemical and paper supplies.  Also a digital-darkroom
available.

7. Meeting room with projection system, rocking stereo and a
view.

8. High-speed Internet service in every room as well as wireless
cloud throughout the facility.

9. Meals and schedule revolving around the photography.

10. Various camera equipment available for loan (nominal fee) so
you don't need to haul everything with you--like tripods.

11. Package prices for solo as well as group gatherings.

12. B&Bs designed for full handicap access.  (One managed by an
RN and less than 20 minutes from hospital)

13. Prices designed to encourage Sunday Night through Thursday
stays. (none of this $250 per person per night nonsense--that's
for weekenders). Avoid the lobster, save a hundred bucks.

14. Most importantly: Spousal diversion activities available.

15. "Samples" photographic book that allows you to select those
things you want to photograph along with the recommended times
(and date ranges) to do it in.  No need to worry about "color
tours" in the late winter.

Does any of this sound interesting?  What's missing?  What would
make it better?  Anything particular that floats your boat? 
(boating, sailing and canoeing available too).  The idea is to
provide a full "no worries" photographic opportunity.
