Portland OR GTG early September
 
Mr Again and I are visitng September 7 Sunday - September 10 Wednesday. I got an allowance for a GTG :)) Anybody want to meet up?

Fodorite018 Jul 14th, 2008 09:32 AM

I can't commit to anything specific yet, but I will try:) Our anniversary is during this time so we don't know yet if we will be away or not. You got Mr. Again to come along this time? Great!!!

beachbum Jul 14th, 2008 09:32 AM

Hmmmm..... Sept 7 is our anniversary, and the 9th is my wife's b-day. I could say we planned the GTG as a surprise party!! How do you think that'd go over? ;-)

Regardless, I'm game!

beachbum Jul 14th, 2008 09:33 AM

Ohhh.... and mms is NOT my wife! ;-)

Fodorite018 Jul 14th, 2008 09:39 AM

LOL! Our anniversary is the 9th:)

FainaAgain Jul 14th, 2008 10:09 AM

BeachBum, thank you for clearing THAT up :))

FainaAgain Jul 28th, 2008 10:16 AM

I've been reading and searching... the best time is dinner, right?

We'll be staying at Hotel Fifty 50 SW Morrison St @ SW 1st Ave, so please something close to this location, or on the MAX line.

Maybe Sunday September 7 Huber's? Withing walking distance, right? 411 SW 3rd Ave @ SW Stark.

Or Tuesday September 9 Bleu, too bad they aren't open on Sunday! 600 SW 10th Ave @ SW Alder - 3 stops on MAX?

beachbum Jul 28th, 2008 10:40 AM

Well, the MAX line intersects the Streetcar line, so that opens up a whole new set of possibilities! Dinner is best, but lunch on the 7th might work. Tough to know whether to schedule it on wife's birthday or our anniversary though. Hmmmm......

And what are you thinking in terms of budget, Faina? Not that I don't like Huber's or Bleu, but I think we can do bettah! ;-)

FainaAgain Jul 28th, 2008 11:03 AM

First of all, I am VERY opened to suggestions, I know I'm not good with picking out places :)

Lunch on the 7th won't work for us - we're flying in late, scheduled to land at 2 pm.

Hmmm... maybe lunch close to somebody's work on Mon or Tue? I still have time to plan around it.

Breakfast, anyone? :))

As for budget... we usually splurge at least once per vacation. But we are not against savings, not at all!

As for food type, Mr Again hates sandwiches :) I tried to convince him, he can open it, and leave bread uneaten, didn't work!

Might I join you? I live in Portland...and have heard much about mms from a Mutual Friend.

Would love to meet Faina and beachbum too ...famous names!

Kal Aug 4th, 2008 07:41 PM

M_G....bring some pepper spray!

Fodorite018 Aug 4th, 2008 08:10 PM

Morning Giggle--Of course! Everyone is welcome:) And I just realized who you are...you enjoy that beautiful sofa, right?

Morning_Giggle Aug 4th, 2008 09:07 PM

mms, that's me! :D I look forward to meeting you!

Kal, thank you; I will be armed to the teeth. LOL

I'm bummed I can't make it. Probably could head down from Seattle if it were a Saturday, but too swamped at work to take Monday off. :( Y'all have fun!

Orcas Aug 19th, 2008 04:06 PM

It's even worse for me! I'll be in Portland for a wedding on Sept 6, but have to get back to Seattle for a meeting on Sunday night. Whah!

safarimama Aug 20th, 2008 08:04 AM

I can't make it either even though I'm in Seattle. I'll be in Kenya, back Sept 11.

Merseyheart Aug 22nd, 2008 12:18 PM

OOh, sorry, looks like I have to cancel. I have a wedding to attend that evening...

Next time around, okay, Faina?

Have a good visit to the City of Roses!

FainaAgain Aug 25th, 2008 08:23 AM

OK, next time.

So... who is it this time :)
