Dallas GTG?
 

Any thoughts on a Dallas GTG this summer?

Would love to, if I am in town!
Maybe something Uptown or around Northpark?

ttt

I would love it . . . any chance of it being in north Dallas? I'm in Denton.

Sandy (in Denton)

that's fine for me, too. If we make it Grapevine, (mall area), then that is pretty central for the Metroplex folks and findable for the Okies, yes? :)

I'm in!

Paula

Ok... I am in Wylie, which is between Mckinney and Rockwall.
I am about 1 hour from Grapevine, even further from Denton.
75 and 190 (Bush) is 25 minutes West.
What about the Galleria area?
That may make the drive 30-40 minutes for everyone.
Maybe we could even meet AT the Galleria... at Grand Luxe.
???

Well, sandy could come down 35E and take 635 East and she might get there in a hair under an hour. :)

Galleria is fine for me. Let's set a date or a couple possible dates?

Saturday lunch? Friday night dinner?

Do tell. :)

Just came back from DFW today! Hot hot hot.

I'll be back on the 2nd of July which is tentative. I'll be in the downtown/uptown area.

I'm game for a gtg.

Saturday lunch would be my vote... but Friday dinner could work too, if it was early enough.

Sat lunch gets mine, too. I hate to drive after dark!

I'll be in Israel from July 8-23, hopefully we can find a date for everyone.

In case I miss this post, you can email me at [email protected].

How does Saturday, June 21st sound?

Lunch at Grand Lux Cafe sounds incredible! I'm all for that! They open at 11am. So should we meet then, or noon?

Paula

Man, you actually suggested a date squeezed between 2 trips... so I could do it!
That place gets NUTS on a Saturday and they generally will not let you hold a table for 10 (or whatever). Everyone has to be there to be seated.
So, I would suggest that most of us arrive by 11:30 to get a big table.

Well, that is no prob for me. I'm in SW Arlington, so it will only take me about 40 mts to get there. (And then Sam Moon will be on the way home!) :)

Paula

PS Once we get date and time pegged, we probably should post on Lounge, too.

Have a great holiday weekend!

That works for me . . .

Sandy (in Denton)

topping. Anyone else in?

So when and where?

Y'all tell me and I will be there :)

Where is Christie_P?

What date did you decide upon?

Saturday, June 21st. Lunch at Grand Lux Cafe, Galleria, Dallas. Actual address is 13420 N. Dallas Parkway, Dallas, TX 75240. Phone is (972) 385-3114.

Here is their website: http://www.grandluxcafe.com/index.htm

And here is "map" of Galleria showing where Grand Lux is:

So we have so far:

1) sarge56
2) TxTravelPro
3) sandy_b
4) ??? sandi_travelnut
4) ??? Beachgirl247

Surely, we have MORE Fodorites in DFW/OK, don't we???

Paula

Darn the luck. I'll be on the beach in the Bahamas.
Catch you next time!

BeachGirl
((h))

OH, boo-hoo boo-hoo, Beachgirl! :'(

You have a pina colada for us, and we'll have a margarita for you, ok? :)

Have fun and don't forget the sunblock!

Paula

I could possibly go - free southwest ticket and my newly graduated daughter lives there!! - free place to stay!!! :)

Hmmm,... let me think about this - sounds like fun!!

I don't have my work schedule yet for that day but I can let you know in a bit if I can make it. If we post this on the US and Europe forum I bet we'll get others.

What time?

1130am?

I suggest you post this on all forums . . . I hardly ever look at this one, as I don't travel much in the US.

I have emailed this to a couple of travelers who might have missed it.

I'm still in . . .

Sandy (in Denton)

Were any of you at the GTG we had in Grapevine a number of years ago?

OK, I've posted on several other forums (Europe/Asia/Middle East/Africa) in hopes we pick up some more Fodorites. :)

I may actually be able to make this! Pencil me in and I'll know for sure soon.

Tricia

Paula, FYI - You caught my attention on the Europe forum.

Wish, I could, but will be in Italy - Yea! Maybe I will catch the next one in DFW. Have fun.

godmother- another boohoo! Italy??? You're shameless- rubbing this in! :-))

ChicagoDallasGirl- I'm so glad we caught you! Especially since I am also a Chicago-born-and-bred-I'm-never-giving-up-my-Bears girl! :-D

Hope you can make it!!!

Paula

We are interested but not sure about timing; can we (2) be possibles?

We are returning from Europe late on the 18th and might have a lot to do, such as work. If things aren't crazy when we get back, I and possibly Mrs. JD will be there.

fyi, I saw your notice on the Europe board.

what is GTG?

I had so much fun at the last GTG that I'd love to do another one!I'll actually be in town on the 21st, but I will be at a horse show in Denton. Darn!!

TxTravelPro, I could use some more notepads and luggage tags, too!

tennispro - get together

tennis... come and join us! It will be fun!
I ran by the Galleria today and bought a bunch of stuff at Williams Sonoma. OMG... they have all sorts of stuff at 50 and 75% off. I bought all my fathers day gifts!
This W-S is my favorite location in Dallas.

Also, I am trying to see if anyone at the office has any logo items I can snag :)

Sarge, no rubbing, just excited. This is my first trip there. And solo for part of it, so a little nervous too.

godmother- I went last year for first time with my adult DD. LOVED IT and cannot wait to go back. And I would have NO problems going alone. :) What an adventure you are about to have!!! I am jealous! :) Where are you going and how long are you staying?
