Default Victoria January get-together

Todays lunch was great - it was so good to see everybody (Stephanie, I'm still waiting to meet you!!) ...

Anyhow, it begins to sound as if it might be more of a challenge to arrange January's get-together due to new, and very welcome, employment opportunities (congrats gals!!!). In that case it's not to soon to start thinking about it. Options include weekends and/or evenings. Anyone???

Also, is anyone up for a Sunday in Vancouver with lunch at the Fish House (Karen Barnaby's restaurant) and maybe some low-carb shopping during the afternoon sometime in the next 2 or 3 months? While the ferry fares, at least one-way, are cheaper?

Merry Christmas all, and Happy New Year, hugs, Glenda

Right now January looks decent for me. I have no trips planned.

I am up for a trip to Vancouver for sure!! A day out of town would be fun!!!!

Hopefully Stephanie can join us in January.

Happy holidays, Julie

That WAS fun seeing all of you!

So maybe the January victoria get-together could be a Fish house/Stanley Park lunch instead of a Travellers' Inn poolside lunch? Sounds like fun. Could we consider Saturday instead since if I'm in Vancouver for the weekend I'm usually travelling back to Victoria on Sunday afternoon? It might be fun to see if Karen's going to be around any of those days (though January is down time in the restaurant biz, I think lots of folks take holidays, still worth asking her) and plan around that.

let's keep in touch.

cheers,
Anny

As mentioned at lunch, I am not available until Jan 17 or later as I'll be in Maui from Jan 8 - 16. You guys settle on date/time/where, etc & I'l let you know if my work schedule has me working or not.

Hope you all have a great Christmas!

So far, either the 19th or the 26th (both Saturdays) works for me, either Travellers or the Fish House!

There aren't any bargain rates on the ferry on Saturdays - that's the only reason I suggested Sunday for a Vancouver jaunt, but sharing helps make the fare livable.

Hi ladies,
Could this lowcarber from Vancouver join you for lunch at the Fish House?
I would love to meet you all, you live so close and yet so far! I don't go to the Island very often, unfortunately.

Danielle, we'd love to have you meet us there! There are a couple of other Vancouver posters who have mentioned joining us as well. Who can have too many friends??!!!!! Once we settle on a date, please remember that we Islanders don't do snow so we'd appreciate if you could arrange for the day to be mild!!

Thank you, thank you for the welcome!
And yes, of course, I will arrange for mild weather, it goes without saying! We Vancouverites don't do snow either!

I don't think we ever did. I'm still fairly open for a lunch at the Travelers but a full day in Vancouver is a whole 'nother story. MAYBE the weekend of the 26th, but no promises.

Personally, I think it would be great fun to carpool out to Sidney and descend on Jude for lunch one day when she's working at her new position (actually, it would be MORE fun to go when she can be a customer and can see what the other cooks are doing with the menu)

Sorry, guys, I've been knee-deep in all kinds of dreck, ya don' wanna know...

Okay, for me, Vancouver has to be either before the 12th or sometime in February...

That's all I can say at the moment (and Glenda, bite your tongue!) ... I'll set up reservations if you're not careful!



SOFT opening on the 15th, on schedule. Don't y'all DARE show up before the 22nd!

Vancouver before the 12th ain't gonna happen for me......

Dang. Well, the 15th (and through to at least the 30th) is out for me, for Vancouver.

Anything else being considered, such as a casual light dinner or potluck? My evenings are looking pretty good all of a sudden, though I'll be getting up at 5, so that's a new thing for me
