Please help

Yes, Ken this is not spam. I just put in an application for my passport yesterday so it will take up to 4 weeks. When I get my passport, then I will earnestly get our airfare & times of flight. As of now it is not concrete as to exactly what we will do. I am going with my friend Mike whom I been a close astronomy acquaintence for some 35 yrs when we both purchased our Cave Newtonian telescopes. He and I are still researching on where to observe, where to obtain a telescope, and our accomodations whether camping or in a motel/hotel once we get to the observing dark sky site. We have no aquaintences or 'contacts' at this moment.
So, if you can help us in any way I will be grateful. Since our plan is to stay for a week, the location which has the best chance for a clear sky is a primary concern; probably well inland . . . away from the seacoast.
The attached photo is a self portrait with my scope at one of my favorite observing sites in California showing the Sagittarius Cloud and Antares just above the finder scope.
Thank you Ken for your kind thoughts on this. tokuo
