:D I'm always happy to meet another fellow Amazonian.
Seriously, I don't know about Paramaribo, but Kourou is too expensive, every
trip to French Guiana by air necessarily landing at Cayenne's airport. We
may have a space base here, but that doesn't mean the local airstrip is any
less rinky-dink.
If beautiful Paramaribo is an option, I'd be glad to help plan it. I should
start learning Dutch. ^^

Well let's do it in Paramaribo then! With a daytrip to an Arianne launch

You've got it all wrong. You need to come to
Kourou! There are beaches,
tropical rainforests, rivers, lakes, the ocean, and if you get bored you
can
always tour the space museum and see the Ariane
rockets.
Hmmm, I wonder if we could plan a Wikimania around an Ariane launch...
(Also not entirely joking.)
(Much.)

I return to my proposal to just decree we take
Frankfurt in odd years
and Boston in even ones and leave it at that. Everyone's evenly
annoyed ;-)
[okay, for flexibility, we can maybe rotate the European side among
Amsterdam and Paris, and the American one with New York or Toronto,
but it's the same broad idea...]
