Well, since some ladies live in Irvine and some in L.A./BevHills area how about we go somewhere in between?

Some ideas:
Anaheim - Downtown Disney - Rainforest Cafe maybe?
Westminster Mall - eat and then go window shopping, maybe even stop by a *gasp* maul store?  hehe
Long Beach - Shoreline Village
The Block in Orange


Let's shoot for a Saturday - brunch or lunch?

Days I am available:
5/13 & 5/20 one of these I will not be available not sure yet which one.
5/27
6/3
6/10
6/17

I'm down, hopefully it'll be a weekend my fiance is home so he can take me! I can not figure out the buses in other cities, my mind isn't that good at figuring things out (especially right now!). I'd be more comfortable in LB, Anaheim is too far away, much as I'd love to head to Downtown Disney! Never been to Westminster Mall, either... So far those dates sound good, I won't know until closer, though!

I'm available after May. 

Amberwaves, where do you live?  Perhaps if I can make it I can give you a ride?

I like Long Beach.  In the belmont shore area, there is a cute creperie.

If we really wanted to go to a maul store, I vote South Coast Plaza...at least they have the full gamut of jewelers there...which could be fun.

I'd love to join in the next GTG, but will have to be a 'maybe' until the date & location are set.
Only date I can't make is 6/17 & given the location options, my vote goes to Long Beach.

Westsider carpool anyone?

I won't be able to make any of the June dates...I'll be in Dallas, TX, visiting my family. The May dates sound good, but I'm about 9596829 miles from Long Beach. We'll be living in Pasadena by then, so are there any northies that would want to carpool? If not, I could still make the trek. Perhaps FI could drive me and visit the beach while we're eating/shopping! :D

South Coast Plaza!! I love it there... Anyway, Traveling gal, I live in Culver City, basically right off the 405. I can literally walk a few steps and stand on this big pile of dirt (can you tell I live in a classy area ) and look over the 405. I live on Sepulveda Blvd. (most people know that street it's super long), a couple of minutes south of the where the 405 and the 10 meet. I'm obviously not good with directions.. Blah. Anyway, let me know guys... Stephensbride, I'm by you, right?

Ooo! Downtown Disney would be a great place to meet, though I can only think of one jewelry store there and I've actually never been in it... South Coast could be fun too! There a lot of good restaurants there - Claim Jumper, Rainforest Cafe, Corner Bakery, Troquet(exspensive!!) and more.

I can't go on 6/17 though. Graduation!!

You're not that far from me Amberwaves, I am in the South Bay.  But I suppose we can all play it by ear.

Claim jumper is yummy... Traveling gal, you're right, play it by ear, since it's still kinda far away... Hope to see everyone there, though!!

I vote for southcoast - I actually know how to get there!

I'm outta cali as of May 23, so I can only do dates before then - June 3 is the wedding!

That's MRS. Pittenger, thank you very much!

Wish I could, but probably not.  I still dont have a car, and will probably be working non stop on weekends.  And June 10th I will be off, but only because its my 30th bday!

The last get together was really fun! There were only three of use, but we had a good time.  The food was excellent.  Sorry, no pics from last time...  Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to make this one, but for good reasons.  My ff is finally finishing up job training and will be moving to CA May 15th!!!  I will probably be busy spending time with him and doing my grad school work.  I also don't have a car, so it would be hard to make it to the suburbs.  Hopefully...my wait won't be toooooo much longer.  Have fun at the 3rd get together.  Hopefully I'll be wearing a ring on my left hand for the 4th one.

It would be great to see everyone!

I'm around May 20th, and all the June dates- although that could change, as I just put my townhouse on the market and have no clue how fast it will sell and when I'll be moving out.

My vote is for The Pike area in Long Beach: http://www.shopthepike.com/

OK, so if we have it on Sat. May 20th who will be able to go?

Also, please indicate where you would rather go - Long Beach or South Coast Plaza?


I'm in for the 20th and I have no preference for the location.

I think I can do the 20th. South Coast is good for me too, I think. I have to check waaay ahead, my fiance is traveling a lot this summer.

May 20th works for me.  I have no preferences on the location as I am about equal distance from both.

Hi Girls,

I really want to come this time and can drive from the Southbay if anyone needs, but I might be in Santa Barbara that weekend. I will know more in another week or so. Irvine or Southcoast sound great to me~

It sounds like most people are leaning towards South Coast or have no preference.


www.southcoastplaza.com   (Methinks that there is a Tiffany's there too, no? )



Where should we meet?  Claim Jumper?  How does brunch sound?  Then window shopping (we definitely have to hit up the D&G store - maybe Chanel too).    ???

I might be able to come too, and can do either Long Beach or Southcoast. I might even have my ring by then!

hurray for southcoast!
brunch sounds great. I'd be up for pretty much any type of food - indian, persian, french, mexican, you name it!
I'm gonna be so incredibly stressed out and giddy that weekend, I can't wait!
I fly out of cali the 23rd to see my FI graduate in Rochester, NY, then he's dropping me in Louisville, KY the following week so I can get things ready for the wedding while he goes back home with his family to AL! The wedding will be June 3rd :D

That's MRS. Pittenger, thank you very much!

I'm a "maybe" right now.
I just got an offer on my townhouse and they want to close in 30days, which means I'll be packing nonstop in May.  I'm countering with w 45 day escrow, (and other stuff) so we'll see!
Stay tuned...

Congrats ChargerGrrl!!  How exciting!  (And fast!)

Fun fun fun!  May 20th!
