Florida gathering

FrenchgirlFrenchgirl Registered Users Posts: 9
I was thinking that it would be a great idea to meet other curlies in our state.
I know that, unfortunately, we are all spread out. Maybe Central Florida would be central enough for most of us?
I was thinking of Saturday, October 25th although it might be short notice for many.
Any idea for a location and a date? icon_confused.gif

Let's make this happen ladies! icon_smile.gif

    I think it sounds like fun! Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to make it because I'm all booked up for every weekend in October. But if y'all get together, I would love to hear about it! icon_biggrin.gif Who else do we have from Florida?

    RosaAnnaDana,
    You might not be the only one not being able to make it anytime in October. Maybe early November would be better.
    Let's see what our fellow Florida curlies think...

    Very interesting! Count one more "Floridian" here, and let's keep this open. I don't have big plans yet... but I also don't have $$$, so I'll have to see what I could do...

    I'd love to plan a get together as well, but with my schedule, I would need a good amount of notice. icon_smile.gif

    Hope to see you all soon!

    Nov sounds better...

    I would like to attend a Florida gathering. Unfortunatley, I will be in Orlando the following weekend so the 25th wouldn't be a good time for me.

    I can do something early in the day on Oct 25th, but I need to be back in Sarasota by 6-ish. The only weekend I have in November is the 15th, and I need to be back in town by early evening again.

    Would love an excuse to go to Orlando though.

    Hello Floridians icon_smile.gif
    I have a couple of questions:
    1- Is November OK for everybody?
    2- November 8 or 15 (or later)?
    3- Is Orlando Ok for everybody?
    4- In what type of setting would you like to meet? A restaurant chain (Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze, etc...)? A theme restaurant (Rainforest Cafe, Planet Hollywood, etc...)?
    Any suggestions?

    I'd love to come! And Nov. 15 is my birthday!!! icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif (but I'd want to do it early on that day so I can party all night, tee hee).

    If anyone wants to meet before that as a smaller group, I wouldn't mind doing a Sunday lunch/brunch with a few people.

    I like something near the Disney area in Orlando, but not necessarily something on Disney property because of parking, traffic... maybe the Bahama Breeze at Lake Buena Vista, or if people live farther north, we could do Winter Park Village or the Mall of Millenia. Let me know!

    1. November should be fine
    2. Either date, probably the 15th would be better
    3. Yes, the greater Orlando area is good for me.
    4. Not sure about where to meet. How have other groups done this? A restaurant would be fine with me, I guess.

    ETA: I don't like the RF Cafe at Universal because parking is such a pain. Cool restaurant and all, but you have to park in the park lot and trek all the way into CityWalk. I would prefer to meet somewhere with "street parking" so it's more convenient. But, whatever the group decides is fine with me. icon_biggrin.gif

    Hi, all. I would also be interested in getting together in early/mid November. Universal City Walk (Margaritaville-any other Parrotheads out there???!, Hard Rock Cafe...), or Downtown Disney would be great on a Saturday night, but any place would work....I agree that you would have to be prepared to park-n-walk icon_sad.gif ...
  • FrenchgirlFrenchgirl Registered Users Posts: 9
    I see that some people won't have much time available on November 15th. How about:
    - November 22
    - Rainforest Cafe, Downtown disney, or Planet Hollywood Downtown disney, OR Bahama Breeze for the great drinks (about 1 mile from downtown Disney)?
    - Lunch or Dinner?

    November 22 would be too late for me. I think we should stick with early-mid November.

    There will always be a date where some members can't attend. I've learned that too many problems develop when you keep moving and changing the date.

    If worst comes to worst, there can always be more than one gathering!!

    I'm curious, where would everyone be coming from? I'm in Orange County near O-Town.

    Count me in! I'd be coming from Sarasota. I've been hoping for a Florida gathering. I'll keep an eye out for when you all decide on a final date. Orlando sounds like a perfect location. icon_smile.gif Looking forward to meeting other Floridian curlies.

    I'm in Deltona, almost mid-way between Daytona & Orlando, but closer to Daytona than Buena Vista...
  • marleycurlmarleycurl Registered Users Posts: 2
    I've been lurking for months and would really love to meet the other curlies here in Florida. I live in Longwood, FL so any of the suggested meeting places would work for me. Anytime in November is good, except for the Thanksgiving weekend, unless you're planning to meet in Miami.

    Please keep me posted. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun!
  • roseannadanaroseannadana Registered Users Posts: 5,633 Curl Connoisseur
    It looks like most of us are from the central FL area. This is going to be fun!

    i'm in miami, so i guess i might be the farthest away.. i have to be in orlando on nov 21st so i might be able to make it to something on the 22. i also might be going up on nov. 8. so i might be able to make it to something on the 8th or 9th. if it's scheduled for the weekend of the 15th i don't think i'll make it since the trip to orlando three weekends in row might be a bit too much icon_smile.gif keep me updated whatever you all decide

    It looks like the majority is OK for the 15th. So:
    Saturday, November 15th at Bahama Breeze for lunch?

    Sorry, I won't be able to make it on the 15th, because I am scheduled to be in Orlando on the 22nd. I know a Florida gathering has been hard to plan so I hope there will be another and I'll attend that one.

    I am from north Florida and it seems I may be the only one.

    Great! I'll be there!!! And let's get some free birthday cake while we're at it!

    Just to make sure, this is the Bahama Breeze at Lake Buena Vista, right?

    Sounds good to me. I'm definitely planning to be there.

    It should be a lot of fun meeting everybody. icon_biggrin.gif

    I have this tentatively penciled in. Believe it or not, it depends on my husband's schedule! Sometimes he needs me to stay put on weekends to help with our new business. He's not around on Saturday's so it would be a good opportunity for me to get away and meet some other FL curlies! Whether or not I attend, bring along your high humidity solutions, so we can post them later!
    I live in Jacksonville, Duval County. It's about 2.5-3 hrs. drive, depending on how bad traffic is on 95 (uggh!!) icon_eek.gif
