Title: AN-er's in Hampton Roads, VA
Post by: lori67 on July 09, 2011, 07:42:09 pm

SkipG and I were talking about trying to get an informal gathering together of any members in the Hampton Roads, VA area. 

Those Yankees in Bawston have their apple dumplin's - let's show 'em how it's done with.....crab cakes?  Krispy Kreme donuts?  A bottle of sunscreen and some beach chairs?   ;D

Let me know if you're in the area and we'll figure out a central meeting place and see what we can set up!

I am occasionally in the HR area. Let me know when and where and I will try to come down.

As to the food, this seems like it should be ideal: softshell scrabs between two Krispy Kreme glazed, with RC cola and moon pies on the side.

Here I am trying to eat healthy and you guys are going to clog my arteries. To say nothing of a blood pressure spike. Looking forward to getting together. By my guess and after talking to two AN neurosurgeons there should be over one hundred AN people in the Hampton Roads area. With our total pop of approx 1.5 million, statistics would say about 75 -120 per this population (5-8 per 100,000). Would love to meet Tod the Appalachian Trail Man. The only portion I did was up to Mt. Rodgers from Grayson Highlands Campground. (Highest peak in Virginia)

There's always an apple dumplin' on reserve for ya, Lori! (and all/all of you!)... our next brunch is October.  Hoping you all have a VERY successful get-to-gethah' and me thinks it needs to be crabcakes on a beach.

Wish we could all be together.   The closest is the Forum and I love the Forum.   How far is Hampton Beach from DC?   I've never been there.  My daughter lives in Charlottesville.  Is it far from Charlottesville?

Rumor has it the JKL trio has plans for a big meet up in 2013.  Will probably interfere with the shindig sponsored by HEI, but what the heck  ;D

Sometimes you have to go where your heart takes you.

Jan (1/3 of that infamous trio)  >:D

Mei Mei,  Virginia Beach (Hampton Roads area) is about 3 1/2 hours from Charlottesville - about 4 hours from DC.

I didn't forget about organizing a get-together.  I've been dealing with a case of bronchitis that doesn't seem to want to go away and with school starting, things have been a little crazy around here.

Jan, the "JKL Symposium" may not be as informative, but I'll bet it will be a whole lotta fun!   >:D

Mei Mei, I'm not sure what you are asking  ???

Can you clarify?

Thanks,

Oh my...It was a typo.   I've been without internet for over a week now so I dash to Barnes and Noble and catch up in a hurry coz I have to get back to the house.   I meant to say what is JKL Symposium?

Sincerely,
Mei Mei

The JKL trio consists of those infamous troublemakers Jan, Kay, and Lori  ;D

We thought we might have our own "symposium" in 2013; we've been meaning to get together since the 2011 ANA Symposium in Chicago where we all met in person for the first time.

Oh, thanks for the clarification.  Now it all makes sense.

Was there a Symposium in Chicago in 2011?

Chicago was in 2009.       Just wrong number written by Jan.      Sometimes numbers leak out of our incisions along with the alphabet and we use the wrong ones.       LOL!
   I would love our own midwest doings but to get everyone we would like to see together would be almost imposiible.                                 Cheryl R

WOW!  I didn't know about this!  I am always up for a get together but I would never sabotage an official event.  I would like to go to LA to see everyone but if we do make it, we will probably combine a vacation to see Dave's sister with maybe doing the Saturday night events at the Symposium.

Any other time at any other place - I am SO IN!!

Sabotage an official event  ???  I may be devious, but I'm not THAT devious!   You give me more credit than I deserve, Kay.

Just trying to think of alternatives for those of us who can't or don't want to travel to LA.

Jan

PS to Cheryl R - thanks for correcting my post.  It was Chicago in 2009.  Time just flies  ::)
