I think this is a phenomenal team building exercise, even if your entire team normally works from the same office.

Being in a place other than home removes all sorts of distractions from your regular life and you can focus on (a) work and (b) spending time getting to know your teammates, if that sort of thing is important to you.

Question: do you have rough guesstimate on what this sort of thing will cost per person, after all is said and done?

I'm guessing: 1000 airfare + 200/night/4 people for lodging + 50/person/day for food + 50/person/day for entertainment/booze ==

$12k for a 4 person team to go to spain from Chicago for 10 days? Is that about fair?
