I say bring ivylad. Not a problem with me.
I thought spouses/SOs were always included… Not that mine will be coming <sigh> since it’s a long drive from Baltimore.
So, I’ll be alone - wild woman on the loose!!! :eek:
Oops. If Jan 4 is a Saturday then I might be flying back to the frozen north that day. I’ll have to figure out my itinerary and get back with you. Regardless I’m still holding you to the beer thing when we get to Orlando. Where the heck is Sanford? And is the restaurant a tapas bar motif? I love to tell my family I’m off to the tapas bar. They always think I’m going somewhere else.
Hey, Fairy Chat Mom – just noticed your Location says Orange Park. That’s my original hometown – I grew up there! 
(I live in Tallahassee now, but my family is still in O.P.)
:::waving to fellow Orange Park-ian:::
Sanford is about half an hour away from Orlando, depending on traffic.
What time is your flight, Shib? Shall we make it a lunch thing instead?
We have a 7:40 pm flight out of Tampa. Lunch might be an option but it could also be a bit of a stretch, unless I bring my whole family along to Orlando that day. Probably better not to plan around me, I’m really not that interesting anyway.
Hey, Monstre, drop me a line if you want news from your old hometown. Not that anything every happens here…
Well, Shibb, looks like we need to plan a get-together sometime during your stay - email when you have your plans set and we can try to set up something!
Okay…would Friday, Jan 3 work better for anyone?
Boy…this is hard!!
ivylass, don’t make yourself crazy trying to please everyone - you can’t do it. All you can do is pick a day and a place and let everyone know. Those who can’t make it will have to wail and gnash their teeth… life is full of disappointments!
Sorry - didn’t mean to get all philosophical on you. I could make Friday or Saturday. Thus ends my straight answer.
GeoBill is planning to be in NYC that weekend, otherwise we’d be all over that. Tu Tu in Coconut Grove is one of our favorite places around here.
Heh…eh…January 3 I will still be in Puerto Rico for the Christmas holiday. If it is more convenient for others, go ahead and do it, there will be another time.
I may very well be available for a Friday night, Saturday, or Sunday get-together.
RTFirefly, I grew up in Plant City (the winter strawberry capitol of the WORLD). Drop by Parksdale’s for a fabulous strawberry milkshake.

Sorry, but … I’m moving. Insert an appropriate “Wizard of Oz” or “Going to Kansas City” reference here; in a couple of weeks I’ll be trading Ocoee, Florida for Roeland Park, Kansas.
Elmwood I live in Montverde…just a hop, skip, and a jump away.
Okay.
Jan 4, Tu Tu Tango’s.
Who can make it?
I can probably make it if I get transportation.
Barring another disaster in my life, I should be able to make it. And if I win the lottery between now and them, I’ll treat… 
So that’s three. (Four including Ivylad.)
You must’ve! My wife was born and raised there, and she’s equally fanatical about the local berries.
Been there, done that, and going back for more. Yum!
Sounds good to me for the 4th. I’ll ask for it off, well in advance.
Mmmmmmm. Great food there. Noisy, but great food. And now with good friends!
I think I could probably make it. I may even drag along Mr. Killdare (Elessar).
