Gee Jackie... Los Angeles has the same type of weather that Sarasota has without the humidity (usually). And guess who lives THERE? <bowing> (grin) Right! MOI...... Plus my hometown, L.A. offers a wide variety of daily thrills such as a drive-by shootings, earthquakes, wildfires, and almost daily police chases to watch on TV. Right now we're experiencing local floods thanks to Hurricane Nora... Why it's not impossible to any one or MORE of these events on any given day. YOUSA! L.A. offers a thrill-a-minute!! Let's face it, m'dear... Sarasota has a looooong way to go before it can offer all that excitement to out-of-town visitors! As an alternative to Sarasota and L.A. (albeit a much less exciting alternative) <lol>I was thinking about Las Vegas since so many hotels there offer very low regular rates, plus there are always junkets with low plane flight rates from all over the USA and Canada especially for those with Vegas as their destination. Just a thought....

It would be so nice to meet everyone. I vote for Sarasota Florida (where Bob and I live) it is so beautiful here. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to come for a visit and get out of the winter cold? The only problem is that MANY people from the North come here in the winter months, so rooms would be at a premium. What are your thoughts, everyone? Jackie CG for Bob (46yrs. - 6yrsPD)
