Pix, I've stayed at that Doubletree, and my only complaint was no free breakfast.
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Westside and beach sounds lovely.

Seriously. California in July? Have to have the beach breezes and salt air.

I figured. It's very temperate by the beach, even in the middle of summer. Keep in mind also that our hottest month tends to be September; July often isn't as bad.
Okay, so I'm leaning towards just picking a time and place to meet and letting everyone find their own way there if they want. Does that make sense for everyone? Or do we need a central hotel?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds reasonable.
I know I'll want to be there, but I can't tell at this point what I'll be able to swing in July. But if a time and place is chosen, I can make plans when I can.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This is me. I have no conflicting travel plans for the summer, but I don't know what my financials will look like.

I have no conflicting plans either but I don't know how much leave I will have (or if I need it). It would be nice to stay near each other, but not enough to put any burden on you, Pix. I would say just give us some recommendations and we can figure the rest out ourselves.

I was thinking about the weekend of July 18-19 if that sounds okay to everyone.
It’s no burden on me—it’s more just that I don’t know if we have enough people to get a block of rooms somewhere, and I know that money can be tricky. Maybe we can pick a couple of hotel options and people can make a choice based on that.

I’m just going to put a list of hotel options in the Santa Monica area in a range of prices ($150 is as low as we’re going to get in that area; the Ambrose is “midrange” at $319) that don’t sound bad as per their tripadviser reviews, but I haven’t stayed at any of them. And then I’ll leave this for now. But let me know what you all think about that weekend. And if it’s good, let’s plan on July 18-19 to gather.

I'll put this on my calendar. Not sure if financials will work out (given we are able to buy a house here) but maybe I can work out a work/personal trip to the Bay Area and drive down. But having dates means I can start working on this.
