Crystal River is nice. The Port Hotel and Marina is clean and very reasonable, but dated. I didn't know Elvis stayed there. Maybe he's still there... There's a decent restaurant next door, and it's close to the spring. And if we schedule the gathering before the end of scallop season, there's a bounty not far from the mouth of the river.

All that being said, it may be too far north for our southern brethren. It might be good to focus on locations around the Tampa Bay area since it's centrally located (more or less). As NoBones mentioned, I-4 makes it convenient to east coasters. I'm good with anything from Tampa north, but we need to settle on something soon if it's going to happen.
