Yay! I'd love to see you again!
This is going to be fun! We should stay together this time, in same room or hotel. It's much more fun this way. I had a blast staying with llurpsie and jammer.

I was just looking up random stuff about San Francisco when I found articles that say there have been more than 1200 suicides since it opened in 1937.
This bridge is a suicide magnet with no suicide barriers.
Right now I'm just anxious. Maybe we should avoid going to the Golden Gate bridge next year.
Even though it doesn't make sense since I'm happy now, I'm afraid of the seductive allure of the death bridge. If I feel this while happy, imagine what others in a bad place would feel in the presence of the bridge? I have reason to believe Babblers are more prone to suicide than other groups so if we can, I'd like to prevent them whenever we can.
I may be overreacting right now.
Perhaps walking on the bridge will be really enjoyable, but I just know I can't help but think of jumping when I'm walking across. Gawd, maybe it's some OCD or something.

When I go to San Francisco, I'm going to visit Daly City too and find my old house and elementary school. It'll be cool. I'm going to see how things have changed.
I think I'll spend at least a week in San Franciso. I have a lot of memories from when I lived there.
My Mom wants me to visit relatives too. I may do that.

Anyone mind if I join the party? I would love to meet other Babblers. This almost seems like it's karma or something. I couldn't sleep last night and stumbled on to this thread. I continued reading and now I find this part about San Francisco. My nephew(he's like a son to me) just got his Phd. in April. He got married May 31st. They will be moving to the San Francisco area the beginning of July. He got a fantastic job offer doing just what he wants to do. The only problem is we live in the northeast and he will be 3,ooo miles away from me. This sounds like a perfect time for me to plan a trip to visit them and also meet some new friends. To top it all off, his birthday is May 19th, so I can celebrate that with him while I'm there! I would love to join the party if no one has any objections. Hugs

I have no objections. The more the merrier.

It'll be fun. I'm going to see Dr. Bob again. I love Dr. Bob. He's cool. He gave me his autograph when I asked for it.
I'm going to love Dr. Bob forever.
I love Dr. Bob and I also love Alex. I miss her.

Thanks Deneb. I think it's cool that you get to go back to where you once lived. And I know it's really cool you get to see Dr. Bob again. Sorry about Alex. I'm sure she knows how much you love her and miss her. Hugs

Me too. I hope somebody puts some ideas for lodgings up. Expense could be an issue.
My dad (named after the president, a distant relative) was born in SF area, so I'd kind of like to get to San Mateo and check it out.

Expenses are definitely an issue. It's way more expensive there than here, and prices are globally going up with the oil prices. I notice that the items in my Amazon cart are bumping up in cost.
But I've mentally set aside the money to go this year, after missing the last few.
I'll look forward to meeting you in person. It always feels so strange to meet people you feel like you already know.

Any thoughts on where to stay? I'd appreciate anybody's input here.

Second after Cracow.
Let me think on places. I'll be in touch.

How about having a get together in Cape Town, South Africa? That way I'd get to come for once, and I'm sure Dr Bob would be willing. Are there any other Babblers from this part of the world?

Hi Auntie Mel,
I am interested in the reason/reasons that you chose Cracow as your favorite city. I am assuming you mean Poland. I have a friend/acquaintance who spends a lot of time and has interests there(in Cracow,Poland)and really seems to enjoy it.

Yay! I'm really happy. I'm going to think about the trip and Dr. Bob whenever I can, to get the maximum amount of joy from this. :-)
Yay! I'm going to meet Dinah!
:-)
Dr. Bob, I hope Babble never dies and we have parties every year.
I'm excited! It's going to be fun! :-)
((((((((((((((((((((((((((Dr. Bob))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I luv you!
Yay! :-)

I don't think it's too early for a Yahoo group. I'd like to keep my enthusiasm high, given how much it's going to cost me. :)

I know I've asked this before. My memory is not what it ever was.
What area of town will the events likely be?

In reply to Where's the best area to stay?, posted by Dinah on August 3, 2008, at 18:16:59
I'm not sure Dinah. I was little when I lived in the SF area.
I want to stay where other Babblers are staying. When I went to Toronto and stayed by myself I was kind of lonely.
Will you be going to SF alone? You can stay with me if you want. I dunno where I'm staying yet tho.
Let's get the Yahoo Group up and running! You and I will probably be the only ones posting until April LOL, but it'll be fun planning!
I love planning. I'm always planning lots of stuff even though we end up winging it instead. I don't mind though. :-)
Ooooh, I'm excited.

He might see it sooner than on board.
