Orlando is a good place to get group rates because so many conferences come through there, but I'm not sure there's anything to *do* other than Disney.
This is where someone says the obvious: other Buffistas!
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

yes, I really loved getting to know Seattle. Orlando doesn't seem very explorable to me. Oh but I probably won't be able to go next year so I'll pipe down now.

There's a nice outlet mall, as I recall.

I lived in Orlando before I moved here, and I remember enjoying driving to the beach (either side) for swimming and fishing, good food, the fringe festival, Seaworld, the local theater, shopping, the zoo (a teeny one, with cool little paths), boating on the lake. I never did go to Disney.

DC'istas
I am tentatively flying to DC (to attend an FDA public hearing on social media, kind of fascinating to me)Nov 11, returning either Saturday or Sunday the 15th. Any of you going to be around? The hearing is from 8-5 both days but otherwise I'd be free.

Sea World, Universal Studios, there used to be some water parks in the area, lots and lots of clubs. I did boot camp there. The city is set up to entertain.

I'm out of town for a wedding Friday-Sunday, but could do something on Thursday.

Oh good, Vortex. I was thinking seeing you was Key! And I'd love to meet the new Sparkybebe, of course. I get a little mixed up about which peeps are in Baltimore vs DC.

Sparky's in Takoma Park (reminds me, I owe her $20), which is slightly north of the city, but totally doable by car or public transport. We had dinner there when smonster was in town.

Thanks!
My company is expecting/hoping for big news in mid November and we don't know what impact it will have on my department's activity. So I've registered for the hearing, and am now reserving a hotel room and buying an airplane ticket. But the trip could get cancelled at the fairly last minute.
