Would there be any interest in having a section on the POA website called 'POA Member Hostels' (or something to that effect) which would...:

1. Allow POA members who would be glad to put up other members (and their Kats, of course!) for a day or two as they travel through their area to volunteer to be 'posted' on the website as a 'POA Host Hostel' (or whatever)...

2. The website could have a map of the USA showing the locations of Kat owners who have volunteered to be a host (or hostess!)...

3. Clicking on the map (or going to another page) would list Kat hosts names, address, phone numbers, email addresses...

4. Clicking on the host entry would also link to a MapQuest/MapBlast page showing a map with host location, driving directions from whereever, etc.

POA members could then plan their trips and vacations with an occasional 'Kat Stop' to visit old (and new!) friends...members would just call/email each other to arrange details, availability, etc.

The only thing you probably should somehow make this info secure so that not just anyone could have access. I believe this idea was brought up once before and several people were concerned about having the info in #3 as a little too much.

We don't have a problem and just enjoy having contact with folks from around the US visit us, in fact we have done this with the Mercedes folks and the PT Cruiser folks.

I usually will post or message POA members when I am going to be in their city if I think I will have enough time to visit and let them decide if they want to meet.

I really like the overall idea of POA people getting together and meeting as they travel. Even with 70, 80 or even 100 cars attending a large event means there are hundreds more POA people we are getting to meet. And meeting during an individual trip or at a small gathering of people allows you to spend more time and get to know people better.
