Thanks for the replies. I'm in the Pacific Northwest. I expect to have to travel, so location isn't a major factor. My primary concern is how fast I can get it done. (So some place with consistently good weather gets bonus points.) Secondary concern is what the total cost (including airfare and hotel) will be.

I don't mind studying up before I go. Anything that can make the trip shorter.

I've been looking into Condor. I'm a long time flight simmer and what I've read about Condor makes it sound great.
