I couldn't agree with Mary more on these points. 

I think it's really interesting that one part of the IETF seems to be
trying to arrange meetings in "more interesting/attractive locations"
(my paraphrasing) while another is trying to figure out how to reduce
"IETF tourists"...

[MB] Right, which is why we *really* should get away from arranging
meetings at resort locations (e.g., Orlando during one of their
busiest weeks of the year).  [/MB]
 

    We already have enough of a problem with folk
    not being able to justify attending meetings because their managers
    think that it is a boondoggle that complaint about perhaps, maybe, not
    being able to see the sunset from your window doesn't help.

[MB] Personally, I'm not there for a boondoggle
