Re: Some suggestions
 

Thanks CT4.

Who's willing to work on the committee to get this thing going? BTB???? I can help as much as possible here, but that is limited because I am here.

Re: Summer...
 

ROFLMBO!!!! This is too cute! :D What's funny is that I know you are serious!

If it's gonna be in the Sunshine State then...
 

you have some nice choices:

Orlando, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, Daytona, Miami
( these are the bigger cities that have stuff to do: shopping, restaurants, theme parks, beaches, maybe even sporting events, etc....no offense to the other cities ;) )

1 - Orlando = http://www.go2orlando.com/
About 12 theme parks, 5 water parks, shopping, food, etc.
http://www.go2orlando.com/attractions/themeparks/

2 - Tampa = http://www.visittampabay.com/
"You want Florida, you want it all, and you only want to unpack once. No problem. You want Tampa Bay. Here, a single day's itinerary might include breakfast at a waterside cafe, Busch Gardens, The Florida Aquarium, a streetcar ride to Channelside for shopping, and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Devil Rays, or Lightning game. Then on to historic Ybor City where the Cuban sandwiches are hot and crisp, the cigars are hand-rolled, and the colorful streets are lined with fun. What next? White, sugar sand beaches, sport fishing, jet skiing, parasailing, boating... and, oh yes, the most succulent seafood under the sun. Plan your visit for February and join the party as rowdy swashbucklers invade Tampa for the 100th Annual Gasparilla Pirate Festival. Whether you are visiting for a vacation or a convention, the Tampa Bay Convention & Visitors Bureau is your official source for destination information on Tampa and Hillsborough County.
Tampa Bay... no better way to do Florida."

3 - Daytona = beaches, shopping, restaurants, biking, racecar stuff: http://www.daytonabeach.com/
"Big Beach. Big Fun. A Warm winter wonderland is waiting."

4 - Ft. Lauderdale = http://www.sunny.org/visitors/index.cfm
"Here you will find 23 miles of stunning
Atlantic shoreline from Hollywood / Hallandale Beach in the south to Deerfield Beach in the north. Your official guide from the beaches to the Everglades plus hotels, golf, shops, dining, sports, and much more...is just a click away."

5 - Miami (my hometown before leaving to college :D ) = http://www.gmcvb.com/Index.asp
http://www.ci.miami.fl.us/
Miami Seaquarium, Metro Zoo, Tons of shopping, Miami Beach, South Beach, parks, nightlife, etc.
**************************************************
If I had to choose from these, I would choose either Miami or Orlando (unless there's a specific event going on somewhere else). Here's why:

Orlando = it has everything, the fun, nightlife, food, etc. If you want shopping, it has it...if you want to have "theme park fun" then this is the place to be.

Miami
1) Although it doesn't have a "theme park" per se, there are PLENTY of malls for those who love to shop...and when I say plenty, there's plenty to see. There's Omni Mall (huge), Adventura Mall (big), Dadeland Mall, International Mall, etc. So if you want SHOPPING to be the biggest factor, then I would say Miami.

For those looking, Miami is nicely diversed. PLENTY of different types of men and women. There may be some sporting events going on in the summer, too. (not sure about Orlando).

South Beach if you got some cash to spend, lol...mostly fun at night, although you may see people in bikinis and shorts on rollerblades during the daytime in the summer, lol. South Beach has many clubs and restaurants. Nice for socializing. This is where you will meet tourists and people from all over, lol (at night).

Miami Beach is aiight.
************************************************
(Orlando) So you can meet up somewhere, chill, socialize, break off into groups, go to theme park, come back, shop, the go to restaurant at night as a group, etc. in Orlando.

Or (Miami) you can meet up somewhere, chill, socialize, go to the beach, socialize, shop, socialize, and then go clubbing at night. In the morning, repeat.

It all depends, in my opinion, the main thing you want to do:
If it's more for hanging out and chilling (and go to the beach), I would say Miami. If you want to actually get on rides and have that type of fun, then I would choose Orlando.

P.S. My third choice would be Tampa because of Busch Gardens :D

Just wanted to share my opinion with everyone. Let me know if you need help with anything :D

Re: Re: Summer...
 

I'm very serious. In 2000, I went to Bermuda (my godmother is Bermudian) and attended Cup match. Boy. Hot. Sweaty. Felt. Like. Being. Attacked.
:p

I vote for MIAMI!!!

Re: Some suggestions
 

Yeah, like some of us are men and shopping 24/7 really doesn't quite hit the spot for us. :)

...still trying to figure out what a manolo is :confused: :p

Re: Re: Some suggestions
 

Manolos, or Manolo Blahniks are shoes. I first heard about them on Sex and the City. They are VERY, VERY expensive (at least for me). Here's a link: Manolo

Re: Re: Re: Some suggestions
 

thanks, Gina, and thanks for the pic, too. They look like they'd be real painful to wear, but if that's what peeps like to wear, cool.

Re: Re: Re: Re: I want to meet.....
 

Well if you can't make it, can you still send some of that buttery pound cake:D ;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Some suggestions
 

They are painful to wear (although some people become accustomed to them). However, it's called suffering for fashion Phrat.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: I want to meet.....
 

:D :D :D

Too funny!

Sure!

And as someone suggested earlier (think it was my gal Del) can also help with some planning, if it's to be here in the Sunshine State.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Some suggestions
 

I truly love women, but I will NEVER understand yall....

Delph998, you still want to hook up in Chi-Town this summer?

If so, you better be ready for some high energy good times! ;) :D

Re: ttt
 

When will this happen? I will be in the Chi this summer, so I may crash the party! :)

Re: Re: ttt
 

To be determined (at this time, anyway)

Yeah, RM we can definitely do Chicago this summer...what's good people?!?!? :cool:

ttt again...got my datebook open...
 

Delph998 & Honeykiss...

Well, I am shooting for late June/early July trying to zero in on a weekend date (I gotta get my vacation time in ASAP or there's gonna be problems later on...)

How's that for openers. Any questions or comments?

Late June is out, but 4th of July weekend may work. I'll have to check my date book too.

Won't hotel rates be kinda high that weekend?
 

While 4th of July weekend sounds doable, I don't wanna get gouged on hotel rates (and deal with heavy holiday traffic to boot).

Where ya at, Honeykiss? We need 'ya!

How about we also plan a Winter Retreat in Myrtle Beach during the off season.

You can get condos for dirt cheap then.

one or the other on my end. i got too many other trips to plan...but i do still wanna meet e'rybody.

TTT/ Any DC'ers
 

Hey GC peeps,

More than likely I will be in DC the week of November 15th doing a one week temp assignment for my job. If anyone would like to meet or show me around while I'm down there PM me. 'Preciate it. :D

Okay, I started this thread about three years ago, but nothing happened. I've actually become quite close with many of you and thought I should throw the proposal out there one mo' 'gain.

Can we make this happen? 2008, what it is tho'? :cool:

Just let me know when & where, except for the last week in July and the last/first week of September/October, I'm down!

Anybody wanna meet me? lol

I have not seen your picture yet.

This might sound mean, but there are some people on here I would love to see (not really meet) to see if they are as retarded as they act on GC!;)

I do. I think it's almost impossible not to have some kind of mental picture.

Yeah. It would be weird to talk to people and not have some type of visual idea of them, however wrong that visual may be.

I have made up visuals of a least 60% of the people I post with on a regular basis on this board. Its kind of funny now that I think about it...

The killer part about the whole thing is, I feel like I'm accurate, but I know I'm not.

Exactly! The only person I can say I'm sure of what they look like is 1908Revelations and thats b/c I saw her in the "look at me" thread a while ago.

There are atually a lot of pictures on the Look at Me thread where you can see how a lot of the GCers look.

But can you imagine how fun it would be for us to come together for a wekeend next summer? We'd have a blast.

I for one am not as retarded as I act on GC.

You are too funny, but I was talking about the D&R take over couple, and another person whose name I refuse to type to give her recognition.

I bet I know who you talking about Sistergreek...:rolleyes:...of course I would love to meet you..and Dionysus is funny as hell so I bet she's fun to be around...I wanna see PrettyBoy cuz he has hyped himself up so much...lol...and I would love to "biyatch" slap a couple of others on here...:mad: :p

Here I iz
