I started this in JudithKB* 's grieving thread and it was really off topic. So I'll start again here, I am going on a cruise February 1st to the 8th. Then I am heading to Bradenton on the 9th to stay with a friend. I will use him as a base and go from there to visit other friends in Largo and Clearwater. I haven't checked with friends who usually go to the Sarasota area. When I wear out my welcome I plan to visit a friend near Jupiter (Tequesta) before I head north. My DD says I'll be couch surfing.
Marsh said he will be near Bradenton and bluedaze said she lives north of Jupiter. It would be really great to meet someone from this board. I have put my email in my profile if there is anyone else I might meet up with. I am not on facebook.
Jupiter! Jupiter! I can visit with you when you are in Jupiter. I'm only 45 minutes North of Jupiter. Actually, bluedaze lives around the corner from me.
PrisR* 8-23-12, I just sent you an email. Yes, it would be nice to get a group together. Marsh said he'd be in Palmetto the last week of Feb, visiting his daughter. Maybe we could meet somewhere convenient for him on Monday or Tuesday that week.
I don't think most Floridians consider February tropical but to us northerners it sure beats shoveling snow and driving on ice. I'll be sure to hoist that glass of chardonnay! Maybe I'll do that on the cruise ship at Grand Cayman. There, now I've made you all jealous!
