What do you think S. Fla Folks? A few of us will be leaving out of FLL on Sept 20th for the SD Bahama Dolphin trip. (Join us if you can!!!)

I would be game if I'm in the area. Sept is almost too far out for me to plan; but I always want to try to get together with the good folks of SD.

I missed this thread I've copied my post from the Bahamas Sept trip to here
Let's try to get a Happy Hour going to meet & greet our out of town SD friends
Who is available local for Sept 19th ?
What time are fights getting in for you out of towners?
Even though Barb had mentioned a Happy Hour I haven't been checking this thread. I can go down to Ft Lauderdale Beach & check things out(I'm a 10min drive). There is a venue called Beach Place(yup a place on the beach) that has a few bars/restaurants &yes there is a Hooters as well as Sloppy Joes & I think a Fat Tuesdays. Along the beach just south of that heading towards Las Olas are quite a few other places as well as the famous Elbo Room( still has a web cam I think)all walking distance if one is in the mood to bar hop. Needless to say as mentioned Friday will be busy & loud. What is everyone looking for? There is also an area west off of Las Olas called Riverplace that is similar.
Quieter there is a Tiki Bar on the beach just north ~2-3miles from Barb's hotel-haven't been there but willing to check it out-nothing near that but beach & condos. The key is what time everyone is coming to town-or is this for the return trip?
Anyhow as I believe I'll still be in town I can be a taxi for the Airporters & others

Too bad the 19th is a Friday night... I'll be in the pool with students... but, I might be in West Palm on Saturday or Sunday.

Divingdeb,
I agree that Dave & Busters while fun, would not be real condusive to meeting each other and talking. But I will go with the majority vote! So what do you guys want to do Friday night? Some place more quiet, or some place with a lot of options like Dave and Busters?

Dave and Buster's has group party rooms. So, we don't necessarily have to be out on the main floor area.

After a day of travel and looking forward to a week of zen diving I would prefer someplace quiet. That way I can irritate SDM with hundreds of rebreather questions. If we are going to make a noise then lets do it right find a techno dance club...

So Far that makes 3 or 4 of us leaning towards a quieter place. Diverdeb, Babs and myself, now shadragon. So, I'll probably get with Diverdeb and look for a cozier place unless the vote swings drastically in the next week!

Logistics. When are the out of towners (that is far out of town like having to use a plane!) all arriving? That can help us decide where & when to meet.
Any other locals (ie driving distance) planning on coming? I know Fri night traffic is a pain

I'm planning on taking Friday off so I should be able to pick up the "very Happy Capt Morgan" at the airport! I think the plan is to get to the hotel, maybe hit the beach for a while, then hook up with the group.
Ok with you Captain?

I just realized that I won't be in town on the 19th. I won't yet arrive back in town from my travels.
Sorry, I can't make this one.
