I’m going to be in Ft. Lauderdale December 9th through the 13th. So, which Dopers are in the area? Anybody want to grab a drink or dinner? I’ll be at a conference during the day and having to study a bit at night for the exam on Saturday but I would love to hang out with anybody in the area. ---

Well, pooh, you’re waaaaaaay too far south of me. I’d love to get together with you, but not at the cost of a 5-hour drive. ☹ Hope youhave fun, tho! ---

If your trip involves traveling 3 years back in time I’d be happy to meet you for dinner or something. 3 years ago I lived right on the border of Pompano Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. Alas, I’m now about 4-5 hours away, north of Tampa. Damn, huh?
