Florida GTG! Orlando/Central FL/Miami/etc...

[lilyfoot]

I''ve only been on the boards for a short while (LIW status), and don''t post much, but am already a daily-PS junkie ("lurking", I guess).

Anyways, I''ve noticed we''ve got a lot of ladies from the Central and South Florida areas, but it doesn''t seem that there''s ever been a get together?!

I would love to meet up with some of the ladies within the following weeks (before the hectic holidays start). Maybe grab a meal and do some shopping?

I am available Saturday/Sunday all day, and work until 5 on weekdays. I am in the Orlando area, but am willing to travel (on the weekend).

Who else is interested?!

I live in the Tampa Bay area but my family lives in Kissimmee. I visit them once a month and I''d be more than happy to meet up with you in either Orlando/Kissimmee or Tampa Bay. I''ll probably be going to your area around Oct. 17 (saturday) or you''re more than welcome to come visit around here and check out the beach

My mom lives in Kissimmee too!

I won''t be in that area until Thanksgiving though (boo).

I''m over on the other coast (the space coast) and would like to meet up with other PSers. Orlando would
work best for me.

Any other central Fl girls (or guys)? Any fun jewelry stores in Orlando? I know there has to be a few
(not that I have any jewelry money right now

).

 

[lilyfoot]

Luckyeshe - October 17 works great for me actually!

tyty333, would that date work for you?

Mall of Millenia in Orlando has a few of the higher end jewelry stores (Tiffanys, Cartier, etc), and a few good resteraunts (Cheesecake Factory, Brio Tuscan Grille, etc). What''s everyones feeling on this location?

fiery - I''m sorry to hear you won''t be in the area anytime soon .. maybe you can join us next time?

 

[Luckyeshe]

Awesome! What time would you like to meet up, ladies?

 

[ckrickett]

Im in the east coast by fort lauderdale.... but I head up in the northern regions alot

 

[lilyfoot]

ckrickett, are you up for meeting in Orlando on October 17?

 

[stepcutgirl]

I''m on the treasure coast and will actually be in Orlando on the 17th for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal. Maybe I can get there a little early to see you all!

 

[lilyfoot]

stepcutgirl - that would be awesome! What time would be convenient for you? I have open availability for the day.

[wsu12]

I live in Orlando..Can I join in? Pretty please

 

[Luckyeshe]

I look forward to meeting you ladies in person! I may be bringing my MOH who is Luckyeshefsil (we'll be looking at MOH dresses for her that day). Lily, please don't tell her anything about her diamond and the thread I started about her on PS. She has no idea! And my brother would not like it if she finds out about her diamond before the proposal which is still in the planning stage!

 

[Indylady]

Its so nice to see a FL G2G!

Does anyone live in the northern part of FL, near GA?

 

[stepcutgirl]

I have no idea what time we will be there. We are going up with another couple and plans are still kinda loose. I''ll update when I know morw and see if I can convince everyone to go up earlier so I can meet some of you!

 

[lilyfoot]

fsu1227 - of course you can join in! Does October 17 work for you?

Luckyeshe - I totally understand! Good thing you told me, it''d probably be the first thing out of my mouth, lol ("Oh yeah, there''s a thread on you!") I would hate to ruin somebody''s proposal surprise! What time works best for you, since you''re also planning to go dress shopping?

Any other Florida ladies want to join in? The more the merrier!

I''m in the G-ville but won''t be back down to Orlando until the 24/25

Anyone want to do lunch the 25? If so I''m game, but if not I''ll try for the next one!!

 

[lilyfoot]

dragonfly411 - it might be a possibility for me, but it''s too far out for me to commit for sure.

and a *bump* up in hopes of finding more Florida ladies for the October 17 get together

ckrickett, are you up for meeting in Orlando on October 17?

I have to check my work schedule, but I''d love to.
The drive to orlando isn;t bad and it woul give me an excuse to go to the food and wine festival at epcot.
I''ll keep you all posted

 

[PrincessDijon]

I''m in O-town! I may be able to do the 17th! Thanks for letting me know!

 

[Luckyeshe]

This is awesome, ladies! I''m thinking of lunch time...maybe brunch? What do you all think?

 

[Amzizzle]

I''m in the Orlando area and think this is a fabulous idea!

 

[Amzizzle]

Oh no! I will actually be in Gainesville the 17th!

 

[lilyfoot]

Luckyeshe - Were you thinking like noon/1pm? I''m open to whatever time works better for everyone else.

It looks like the mall opens at 10am, and the restaurants open at 11am.

Amzizzle - Aw too bad

Hopefully we can have another get together at a later date and you''ll be able to make it .. let us know if your plans change!

 

[Amzizzle]

Oh I''m so bummed I''m missing this! There better be another one real soon!

 

[Luckyeshe]

Either 11:30 or 1p works for me! Let me figure out with my MOH what her schedule is. We could either go after the meet up or before so that won''t be an issue. I''m game either way!!

 

[lilyfoot]

By the way, Luckyeshe, I hope you''re bringing that rock for me/us to drool over?!

 

[Luckyeshe]

Are we talking about my MOH''s rock?

That one won''t be leaving my brother''s sight unfortunately, especially if she''s with me for lunch!

But if you''re talking about my ring, of course!! My Precious doesn''t get left behind ever!! She''s on my finger whenever I leave the house! She''s only off my finger when I sleep and do chores around the house! You can even try her on if you''d like!

I''m interested in seeing FSU''s ring!! Can''t wait to meet you ladies!!

Lily, let''s find out what time is convenient for everyone and we''ll decide from there! Hopefully everyone could do lunchish!

 

[wsu12]

17th works for me. Oh, and I know that mall really well. There is a Rocks, Tiffany, David Yurman, Mayor''s and a Park Prominade (which is actually going out of business-think 10-40%+ on most jewelry). As far as places to have brunch/lunch: Cheesecake Factory, Brio, PF Changs, CPK and much more.

This sounds so fun. Although, my husband thinks I am a total nut for meeting "strangers" from the internet to have lunch with and talk jewelry....I, on the other hand think it sounds like a nice girls day.

 

[lilyfoot]

Yay!! I''m so happy this is coming together so well.

Luckyeshe, I meant your ring! It''s gorgeous!

Aaand your comment prompted me to look up pictures of fsu''s ring .. and that sucker is gorgeous too!

I don''t have a ring of my own to share yet

(only a loose diamond lol), but I''m super excited to see others!

 

[dragonfly411]

Amzizzle - We could do lunch here in the G-ville that weekend if you wanted
