The 2 part visit works well for everyone it seems. So now we just need to decide our morning plans and find a great place to meet for food and drinks in the afternoon with FTT LG If anyone has a good suggestion as to where to eat possibly somewhere that has shoppes as well as pubs/restaurants that will be great. The only place I have been in Philadelphia is Franklin Mills  I know I like to shop...used to take day trips to the outlet malls...those days are long gone now.

Is it out of line to ask where people are from?  My H is from Philly and I'm in Harrisburg/York/Lancaster area.  The cost of gas, tolls and finding someone to stay with my daughter if my H is in a mood she doesn't want to be around him makes it difficult, plus the fear of running into someone I know, i.e. his family or a coworker, H has offices he works from across the state.  In a few months maybe I won't care-- but too much explaining right now.  I am trying to rebuild old relationships and develop new as a part of my "recovery". I let so much go for my H wants and needs and this is now what I need.  I'm new to dealing with the reality of this mess but a few years into knowing something was very wrong, thinking he was just becomming a bastard..now he's under psychiatric medical care and I'm trying to hang in there and maintain some sort of normalcy for my child through a no -contact separation , at least on my part..details we need to iron out I guess when he's in a good frame of mind. 

Is anyone in the South Central PA area who may be interested in doing the same type of get together? or even just a McDonalds meet and greet would be nice... something inexpensive is my point...

I am more than willing to meet anyone almost anywhere.Just let me know when and where

Sunday May 15...Philadelphia..I am arriving at 9am at the 30th St Station. We need to decide what our morning plans are so that we can meet FTT and LG in the afternoon at a pub/eatery.

Any suggestions are welcome...Cannot wait to see you guys

Please post the food site and time and I´ll work on a plan to get there. I would need to take the train in and I think and the Sunday schedule is not as full.

Will need to google.

Not sure I can make it this time as I work until 5 and it is likely my husband will be home for the weekend.... makes it somewhat tricky...

I can suggest for EVERYONE that if you can take a train in, it's cheaper than parking and tolls. The art museum is wonderful.... but moving to another location for a get together is going to cost for transportation etc.

At a future date, I could suggest that we meet a little further north, where I live which is near Franklin Mills mall... the Septa train station is 2 blocks from me which means I could pick people up and we could go to a restaurant or something nearby as the activity. I'd love to host at my home, as well, but not much privacy here, so not good with my kids around.

I only know FTT and Buggy from here, so ideally, I would rather have a sit down get together to get to know the others before spending the day at an activity... then, the skies the limit!!

I would also be up for an overnight trip somewhere that is planned well in advance... I can get a hotel room or two and we could have a LBS Pajama party, LOL!! Glass of wine here I come, hahaha!!

Keep me in the loop for that one.  We could have a pillow fight too.  A drunken pillow fight.  And darts with our H's faces on the board and pin the tail on the jackass.  All kinds of party games.

I'm planning to be in Chicago the weekend of Aug 12-13 for a wedding.....will most likely be free on the Sunday if there are people in that area who would like to get together..let me know. It's always a great experience to be face to face with those we have only met through cyberspace

[Covenant for Life]

I am in the Chicago suburbs and would love to meet up.  I am not available on Saturday, 8/13 as I am hosting my sister's 50th birthday party.  But, I am free on Sunday, 8/14.  I am about 15 minutes NW of O'Hare.  Where in the Chicago area will you be?
Purple Stain is also in the area.

I'm going to be in Des Plaines...Sunday Aug 13 would work so let's see if others are interested and we'll make some plans.

I have never been to Chicago so I also want to visit the city a bit but may come in on the thursday. Anyone else out there?

[Rebel Yell]

I won't, but could you please go to Bacino's on Wacker Dr. and fed ex me a pizza?
YUM!!!!
