Anyone here from south Florida?

[tavernier]

I think a meet up might be fun sometime. An outdoor park or beach or a celebration after vaccinations.
We are still part of the popular vote count even if not the EV, and we deserve a party. Everyone kicks poor Florida but there are still plenty of good democrats here.

1. That's Covid central

Stay with zoom or better yet, email DU to add visual chat as an option. I don’t leave the house to meet my own grown up kids, especially now that we approach an catastrophic infection point with the virus. They reported 195,000 cases yesterday.

Now, imagine if each of those people had interaction with five people every day...and those people interacted with five people...

[tavernier]

3. That is why I posted "after vaccinations."

Something to look forward to.

14. After the vaccine for sure.. nt

[judesedit]

2. That's a great idea. I was and I'd come, but I just recently moved to north central Florida

I'm like 4 hours from there now. I am going to contact the democratic club here to find some friends lol. The ratio here is like 15,000 r's to 8,000 d's. It's that redneck. Right now cause of covid I'm not venturing out, aside from going to the grocery store every couple of weeks, but once I'm able I fully intend to do that. My house mates are actually Dump supporters, too, so I'm screwed. lol. They're fully indoctrinated.

[tavernier]

4. Good luck with your housemates!

Don’t catch that disease... or Covid, either!!

5. Delray Beach, here.

My wife and I were part of a dance club in our retirement community.

That club, and all others, suspended operations back in March.

It could be a long time until we can resume face-to-face dancing with multiple partners.

To vaccinations -- cheers!

6. I used to work in Delray Beach when we lived in Pompano.

Live in nurse three days a week to elderly couple. I’m sure they’ve passed by now... been years since I talked to the kids. Nice area to live.

[Clearly fogged in]

7. Sure, I'm game.

Tavernier is a few hours from Naples where I've been since 89. Back in the early 80's my in laws lived on Largo; sometimes we would brunch on islamorada, but the best time to go was always on mother's day when tiny tim would perform! Those were fun times.

[tavernier]

8. My grandson goes to FGCU and we buzz through Naples

on our way there and back!

After the holidays (and hopefully) vaccines, let’s do it!

[Clearly fogged in]

9. Absolutely

When you plan on being in or going through the area I'm at your service.

[tavernier]

11. Where were you five years ago when I had engine trouble

in Naples and had to wait overnight for a part? I could have slept in your garage instead of the $200 a night Holiday Inn, lol!

[Clearly fogged in]

13. Hell, I could have fixed the car too!

[MaryMagdaline]

10. Broward

Meet up sounds nice. I’m hoping for a vaccine early 2021 for regular people

[tavernier]

12. I will definitely repost as soon as it's safe

And we will make a plan!

Something to look forward to

[Sancho]

15. Sorry...I'm way up North in Clearwater...

but it's a great idea! We turned Pinellas blue!

[tavernier]

16. My daughter is the manager at Cooters on Clearwater Beach!

We go up there pretty often because I also have a step sister in St. Pete.

Gosh. Finding new family all over the state this morning!

[Deuxcents]

17. Ft Myers

Lots of great places to meet up with like minded friends after all his is over.

[tavernier]

18. Grandson goes to FGCU

We take him and his roommate out to lunch when we go up there every couple months. Lots of outdoor eateries, and tables are spaced every other. We went to Doc Ford’s last time on the water and felt very safe. The boys are in the dorms where the rules are very stringent. I think my gs sleeps in his mask, lol. I never see him without.

[dhill926]

19. whelp...we were planning on moving to Key West this last summer....

needless to say, that plan was aborted. Will be staying in California for at least another year, or until a vaccine is widespread. Then we hope to revisit the move. If we do pull it off, we'll stop by to say hi!

[tavernier]

21. Looking forward to it!

We used to live in KW. I could be a tour guide if you ever need advice, lol.

[dhill926]

22. sounds like a plan...

see you in a year maybe....

[A HERETIC I AM]

20. Graduated HS at Miami Killian, but now in Jax

Lived in Miami from the mid 70's through 86 and hit the road trucking in 87.

So....I'm FROM SoFla, but I don't live there now.

[tavernier]

23. We (Coral Shores) used to play football against Killian.

But despite that, I’d still love it if you showed up to our first get together.

[A HERETIC I AM]

24. Are you still living down there?

My house to your old HS is 420 miles

[tavernier]

25. You are 421 miles from my house.

[A HERETIC I AM]

26. AHA! A hop, skip and a jump!

A morning's drive!

Last time I drove down US 1 south of Homestead and into the Keys was probably in the 90's. I took a mini Vacay to Key West about 10 years ago, but took the high speed ferry from Ft. Myers Beach.

I've been thinking of taking a long weekend and coming down to my old stomping grounds! Eat at Ciro's near the Falls Shopping Center, go to Bloomingdales, stop by Keg South at 104th and US1.....

Lots of old memories in that area of the state. I love the upper keys as well. You are lucky to live in such a paradise! Except for the storms, of course!

Stay well and safe!
