I agree. I'd suggest more meet-up, but those that have been suggested often end up with most people bowing out for one reason or another.

There are a bazillion micro brews in the San Diego area, I'd always find time to try a new beer and meet someone, or at the Botanical Garden for tea.

Otherwise I have to spend time with my wife and tortoises.

What were the circumstances for you to be able to get together with Ben?

I would so do meet ups if I lived in CA. The only thing that stinks about a forum is how spread out we all are.

I would love to be able to get together with Jacqui and see her plants and tortoises. Another one is Markw84. Pictures of his pond are just amazing. He's only about 2 hours from me, but I don't travel well.

Oh man, 2 hours. I would so be there. I'd love too see Marks place too. I tried booking a vacation at his place, but his resort wasn't done yet lol.
Yvonne, you so need to go. Maybe @bouaboua is ready for a road trip.

I for some reason thought you had been at Jacqui's. Maybe it was Jacqui at your or your sisters place in thinking of?

Well, I've met @orv and his wife Nancy. We spent a great day together.

And I met @Carlene's ET at a CTTC meeting, told her about the forum and she joined...does that count?

I almost met @ascott, but her work got in the way...what a drag!

And I nearly dropped in on @Tom, but didn't...mostly because he was in Atlanta!

I'm always up for a meet 'n greet!

Mark is less then an hour from me and if ever invited I'd be there in a hart beat!!! So much I could learn from him! Many other I'd love to meet as well.

I'm too poor to travel. So, this forum is a far as I can afford. Lol
There are a TON of keepers here in Florida.
The farthest I've gone was Fort Meyers. About a 2 hour drive to meet @StacieJ half way.
@CharlieM was less than an hour to meet up with him.
@Pearly drove from Texas to my home.
@Slow and steady, @mfishmanm ,etc. All came to me.
7 in all so far. (I cant recall the TFO names of the other two)
I look forward to meeting many more.
