October Mini GTG-Redondo Beach

Aloha! I am visiting Southern California in October and CarlaM and I will be having a mini GTG at Kinkaid's Restaurant in Redondo Beach. Anyone who is in the area and would like to meet up for dinner, drinks and talk of Africa, let us know! It will be Wednesday, October 21, not a good night I know, but the only free night I have while there.

Since CarlaM and I did not make it to Africa this year, we will be going to Wild Animal Park somewhere down there on Thursday, not the same but sure to be a good time!
Aloha,
Dennis

Geez, I am so tempted! We had so much fun last weekend at the GTG here that I am really tempted to book a flight & come. Is Redondo Beach in LA? (sorry, a CDN you know....)

I actually forgot, so thanks for bringing it up! I'm going to check out ff points next week as we have quite a bit of them, so if I can arrange it, you bet. Can Jim and I come to the Wild Animal Park with you & Carla the next day, Dennis?

Safarimama. I will be here until Oct 20, then an overnight in Honolulu and in California until the 27. Where is your son getting married at and when?

Great,
Eric and Angie lived in Kihei, Maui for about 5-10 years, where they met, so that's where the wedding is on Oct 19 at the Prince Hotel. I have never been to Kauai, so I’m taking part of my Swedish family there from Oct 10-15, then we’ll be on Maui until the 22nd.

Oh I'm tempted to go to the WAP too or maybe in lieu of the Wed night dinner. Would that be OK?

I want to go to the WAP too, but will probably have to work that day. I do have 2 $5 off coupons that you can have if you want Dennis, I could mail them to you.

Patty, whatever you want to do is fine, as long as we meet! (did you ever clean your window?)
Joyce, call in sick. Send me an email and I'll give you my address.
CarlaM's grandmother just died so she is unavailable for a few days so I don't have all the details.
safarimama~I'm no the Big Island-if you bring your Swedish family here to see an active volcano, I'd love to meet you. If not, I can't make it to Kauai or Maui.

Dennis,
What a bummer! Everything is paid for and set in stone now.
Next time or you come here to see me and Lynda. Can easily be combined with a taxi to Burundi as Imelda found out!
