GTGs
 
Does anyone have a list of the GTGs that have occurred so far?

I am wondering if there has ever been a GTG in the D.C./Baltimore area, or an atempt at one?

And when was the last NYC GTG?

I want to go to one...I live outside D.C. in Northern Virginia.

emd Jun 28th, 2006 02:05 PM

attempt. attempt. attempt.

I'll get it if I keep practicing.

MelissaHI Jun 28th, 2006 02:10 PM

I just went to one in DC. Do you live in that area?

emd Jun 28th, 2006 02:18 PM

Hi Melissa- So I missed it? Shoot.

When was it? I live a few miles outside of D.C.

The last NJ/NYC GTG was the first weekend in June. We're on an every 6 month schedule. Our next one will be in October.

I do not believe there is a list, as the GTG's are organized by local Fodorites when they feel inspired and not generally on any official schedule.

If you want to have one in your area my advice to you is to post and poll for interest and then try to pick a date and plan an event.

Whenever I go somewhere, I post a GTG proposal. I'll meet Fodorites in Chicago in September. You can do the same if you have trips planned.

iceeu2 Jun 28th, 2006 02:33 PM

Faina, are you and Kal dating or just travelling in the same circles these days?:D

MelissaHI Jun 28th, 2006 02:35 PM

June 17 in Frederick. I don't think there was a dedicated thread on this per se; it was a side conversation within another thread.

FainaAgain Jun 28th, 2006 02:38 PM

LOL Iceee

When Kal learned I'm going to Chicago, he made his arrangements too. Darn, he got the dates wrong!

Oh, well, next time he won't miss.

FainaAgain Jun 28th, 2006 02:39 PM

Just wait a moment... Kal will be in Chicago a week after I leave, and Melissa will be there with Kal, and you're saying it's me who's dating him???????

Iceee, TAKE IT BACK!!!!!

MelissaHI Jun 28th, 2006 02:59 PM

hey hey hey....dating? Not us. Apparently only in our dreams!

By the way, here's the next one in Honolulu!

I take it back! I take it back!
So sorry Faina! But, I am NOT taking it back to MelissaHI. Sounds like she admitted it to me!!!

MelissaHI Jun 28th, 2006 04:34 PM

Yoiks! Pass the chicken paws....to iceeu2!

I knew it was voodoo! I just knew it!!

lcuy Jun 28th, 2006 05:36 PM

That rumor about Mel and the Kals has long been around, but I hear she's courting plumbers these days... =;

lcuy Jun 28th, 2006 05:37 PM

and emd- aren't you coming to the boston GTG in October? Lots of the Asia board will be there!

P_M Jun 28th, 2006 05:38 PM

Melissa, please pardon my laziness. I clicked on the link to the HI GTG, but that thread is so long and my tired eyes couldn't spot the date. (:| Could you tell me the date, please? DH and I were talking about HI next year and this would be an added bonus if we can swing it. Thanks.

starrsville Jun 28th, 2006 05:43 PM

P M, I think the answer is -

August 26. Seoul Garden on Kapiolani.

MelissaHI Jun 28th, 2006 05:43 PM

It's August 26--this year. Here is a shorter thread:

lcuy, are you back?? Are you coming to the GTG?

P_M Jun 28th, 2006 05:48 PM

Oh, rats, we can't go to HI that soon. :-(

MelissaHI Jun 28th, 2006 05:50 PM

No worries, just let us know when you're ready.

emd Jun 28th, 2006 07:02 PM

Goodness, this innocent question has taken on a life of it's own. A good thing!

lcuy: no I was not planning on going to Boston GTG in October. Tell me more- who from Asia board is attending?

Wow, maybe we really should think about a big shabang GTG in 2007...

MelissaH: I wish I would have known about the Frederick GTG, as small as it might have been; I would have gone!

Hi emd,

I have been hosting GTGs in the DC/MD/VA since August 1999, with the very first one in Paris May 1999. You can view my fodorite page on my web site (http://www.luvtotravel/homestead.com/home.html) Click on fodorites on the left side - email me if interested in joining my group. I am planning to have one in August and should have a date picked next week.

You can email me - my email is on my web site.

monicapileggi Jun 29th, 2006 12:32 PM

PS: emd, there were 15 of us at the last GTG.

Where in VA do you live?

monica,
where are you having it?

emd Jun 30th, 2006 06:12 AM

Monica: N VA, outside of DC. I can't get your link to work...

JAL, I saw the Houston one posted on the Asia board. I am from Houston, but it is an expensive trip to fly there for me.

monicapileggi Jun 30th, 2006 09:21 AM

Oops, I had a typo. Here you go.
