We could all meet prior for brunch. That sounds good.

Sounds good to me.

As the date approaches....all of us will talk and decide.

I'm excited to meet a bunch of my FL friends.

i'd be glad to join you guys at the zoo or the bird show, one or the other! guess we'll see as the time draws near! that's so awesome that you are coming down, jeanne!

Join us for both.

i'd like to, but that would mean 2 long round trips for me. it's about 2 hours to the zoo, 3+ hours to port charlotte. i have to come home to take care of the animals each night.

You must live in North Orlando then. To get to Tampa from my house is 2 hours.....actually, to St Pete its 2 hrs and 20mins.

I've driven to Pt Charlotte from Tampa and thats 2 hours, give or take a couple of mins.

i live in east orlando. it normally takes between an hour and a half to an hour 45 to get to tampa from my house, depending on what part and depending on traffic.

You are closer to me than I thought. Cool!

yeah, i am pretty close to 528 and 520 both, so cocoa isn't too far from me at all!

I had a picture in my mind that you were in Orlando...like in, in Orlando. You are on the skirt of it.
