      Been twice. My family went to Florida the first time when I was six. We hit Disney World, Sea World and Daytona.

      The second time was (dare I date myself?) when I was 13. Not been back since. I was three hours away from it in 2002 when I went to Raleigh, NC for an interview at a vet clinic, but was so exhausted and had to drive to Charlotte the same day that I didn’t make the trip. I would’ve had to drive six hours instead of three.

      Ah well. Eventually! Until then I’ll have to settle for Crab Orchard lake and the Mississippi river.

        I may make her take me to the beach for a few minutes though. Haven’t seen the ocean in 13 years. ;P Being stuck in the midwest has it’s disadvantages.
        I don’t think I cold live anywhere w/o an ocean near.
        Maybe it’s because I’m a Cancer

          OK, so who lives in or around San Jose? It appears that at the last minute my friend is going to have to split a day before I’m going to leave to go back to St. Louis.

          So I’m gonna have a day to myself, and if one of y’all that I know lives around there and is off Monday the 21st, lemme know.

            Have fun, Rusti. I’m sure you’ll manage the airports fine. 😆

              Sacramento isn’t exactly close to San Jose (about two hours’ drive), but I am off the 21st (unless something really bizarre happens). But I’m sure there’s a Forum member in San Jose itself. Wish I could remember who!

                I don’t want anybody to go out of their way, since I’m sure I’ll have homework to work on, I’ll have my computer and the hotel has wifi. I was just curious!

                  Isn’t Leigha in San Jose? I grew up there but am in Idaho now *where it’s STILL snowing and now we are under an avalanche watch :shock:* Hope you have fun Rusti! If you have time, you might want to visit the Winchester Mystery House. It’s a very interesting place!

                    We’ll see. I’m only there for the weekend, so I unfortunately don’t have a lot of time to do things. My friend, her family and I are supposed to go do touristy things Sunday.

                      I work about 1/2 hour above San Jose but I’m on manditory OT and will be at work 12 hours that day sorry. I know there are a least a couple from here in San Jose but I can’t remember who??

                        that sounds right to me!! I’m pretty sure it is her. Koishii is about 1 1/2 – 2 hours away

                        A lot of airports have websites with interactive maps of the terminals. Some of them even show the shops, and you can figure out where to spend extra time from there. I hate to fly, so I try to be as comatose as possible. I take some Dramamine before going and usually sleep right through. Good luck!

                          the San Jose Airport is still a mess. They are finally building it up to be a major city airport. In Septmeber my friend and I left San Jose to got o Alaska and when we departed and landed we has to walk on teh runway to get the plane. I hope they can get the new airport operational soon

                            *chuckles* I’m sure I’ll survive one way or the other. Things work out, regardless. 🙂
