Xander ,'Touched'
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.
People might also check airbnb for local spots. There are some great places in the Santa Monica area.
Also check vrbo. com -- a quick check for Santa Monica for that weekend shows 10 places under $200, which sleep anywhere from 2 to 6 people (in case some people wanted to go in on a place together).
That would be really cool, to get a bunch of us all in one place. We can sit on the couches and post to the board at each other in our jammies.
Yeah, if we could get a reasonably-sized house-type-thing, that would be really nice (and much less of an imposition on the locals). I don't know yet if I'll be able to come, but if I can, I'd be interested in going in on such a place.
I was thinking about the weekend of July 18-19 if that sounds okay to everyone.
Well, it would be my birthday on the 19th, so there's that. :)
I'd be happy to go into a houseshare with folks.
Dang, this one [link] says it can sleep 14 for $500/night (which breaks down to...not a lot; I can't do math in my head). Even if only 10 people shared it, it would still be $50/night (I can do math in my head when it's dividing by 10).
(I love vrbo. I have no financial stake in them; I just had such a good experience using them that I pimp them when possible.)
I would totally be up for and into a group rental, as long as Buffista sprog were okay (or, if not, maybe the sprog-having travelers could get a space of our own or camp out with sprog-having localistas?).
A group rental sounds great.
Oh. Oh. Oh. I want to do this so much...which, given my 'haven't traveled at all since 2000'-ways...really means something.
My imagination does not stretch that far, given that I may be moving soon, but gosh, if it were even remotely possible, I'd be on it.
That looks and sounds awesome! Count me in.
Yes, house-sharing sounds great.
