Israel would be a hard sell only because she has others places she wants to visit first.
What about Via Dolorosa ;)

That would be on the list if we make it.

Anyone in LA have suggestions for who to work with?

Yes -- A few locations in that general area would work.
LA, Manhattan Beach, Agoura Hills, etc...
End of December is good? Feb.? (How many #people max capacity needed? I have some ideas and contacts...)

I think for convenience & lowest cost LAX neighborhood is best.
Right off 405 freeway, glut of properties so negotiating for good deal should be easy & also easy for Dan in/out, etc.
But fi he's coming w/family then they should definitely something more scenic.
Ideally I think a beach area hotel.  Redondo Beach has nice hotel across from beach adjacent to the pier.
Santa Monica does also but price significantly higher.  Lots of choices but I don't think Downtown LA (DTLA) is one of them! ;D

I have a place in LA that can seat over 100. I work for the organization and can arrange a deal (basically get it for free...)
I'm talking more centrally located- on Pico.

LA proper is prob best.
Looking for a place that can seat at least 250.
Timeframe just depends on finding a good ticket :)

Kanner is a central LA location and I can call someone for that one --
Could seat 300+ people....

The SLS is nearby; I think that Dan's points and plat status can get him a great suite.
The W Hollywood and the W Westwood are great, too -- Near Kosher restaurants, etc...
With SPG Gold, I got a Signature Suite for 3 nights: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/luxury/rates/room.html?accessible=&departureDate=&priceMax=&requestedChainCode=LC&roomOccupancyTotal=1&priceMin=&currencyCode=&numberOfRooms=1&sortOrder=&nonSmoking=&numberOfAdults=1&language=en_US&requestedAffiliationCode=SI&propertyId=3171&arrivalDate=&ES=LPS_SBESLSHOTELS_GUESTROOMS_LC_3171_WEST&ctx=search&lengthOfStay=&bedType=

I get the feeling that Dan doesn't need any help with the sleeping arrangements, unless you know of news on Waldorf Astoria there.  :-X

Not a matter of having, it's someone with local connections taking the initiative to organize it.

As Dan said, anywhere where someone will take the initiative and has interest and connections to set things up, (and has a seven star hotel/resort  ;D ) he will come.
