Hi all IHD Members,
Marc, (YLGuy) and I wouldlike to host n IHD mini-meet this summer. The mobile home park I live in has a barbecue area, which would hold, I think, about 24 people, but accomadations can be made for more. There are 2 gas barbecues, we also have a pool and a jacuzzi. We also could have it inside and our club house holds about 140 people. We are thinking a pot luck would work. That way no one would have an exorbitant amount of money to come up with. If those outside of the area ( Riverside, Ca. ) would like to come, there is a brand new hotel coming up with in walking distance. Let me know what you think and if you would want to come, and if so give me a month that would be good for you and we will proceed. Sounds like a lot of fun to me.
-
Sounds like a great idea. I will try to be there if I can.
-
Sounds like fun. I may just catch a plane and join you. Post the date when you know it. Any time IHD'ers get together is a fun time. :2thumbsup;
-
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: I would love to come! Thank you for organizing this. :2thumbsup;
I don't have much planned for summer yet so am flexible on dates.
I know there's a Comfort Inn in Riverside with rates from $79 to $84 per night (that's in July.)
-
Sound like something can be do able for me. A forty five minutes drive for me.
-
Oh i wish i could![Bit hard being on the other side of the world]
Hope you guys have a blast ;D
-
Yeah. I'd love to, but it's just a bit far from Oz. Hope it's a blast!
-
Most weekends are ok for me, as long as it isn't the third Saturday, as that's the Kidney Beings monthly meeting. Hi, Marc, we miss you!
-
Okay Everyone: What wonderful responses already!!! The date is set for June 6th, that is a Sunday. We will proceed to make more plans as time goes on. This is gonna be so much fun!!!!
-
Sounds great but too far for me. Have a great meet.
:cheer:
-
:thumbup; for Jean
I know Peleroja. It seems that my kids have something going on every third Saturday. :thumbdown;
Aww Rerun. I heard Ann Coulter might stop by.
-
I will put it on my calendar. Look forward to it. Expect 2 people to be there...Kitkatz and Victor. Can I bring my friend Jennifer?
Need any more help? I could get raffle things together. If you want to raffle some stuff off.
-
Yes, please bring Jennifer.
-
Yes, please bring Jennifer. I have put an ad into our monthly newsletter for any other kidney or dialysis people. My firend Virg is also coming. She is amazing. Had not been to a Dr. in 30 years until she was so tired, she couldn't move. After all tests were done, she had a permacath put in and is now doing PD. Her gfr was 2!!!!! What a scare that was for her. I will pm you KitKatz for guidance. Thanks
-
It's on my calendar. I love meet n greets!
-
I will have flown in from Wisconsin that Monday and been at work all week. Victor will be travelling so it will be me and Jennifer i think. I have to invite her soon.
-
Even if I can't be there, I would love to help with some give aways or raffle items. :2thumbsup;
-
This sounds so lovely. Hope you guys have a riproaring IHD time. Please those of us who can't make it will need to have a detailed account as well as pics! :pics;
Making me eager for our maxi IHD meeting. When will it be, guys?
-
Where is this exactly located? I live in New York. I would love to stop by. What's the address? I'll look it up in mapquest or flight arrangements. This will be so nice.
-
So sorry cdbrooklyn. Guess I did not mention that. We would just love to have you, but you have to bring me a New York Pizza, ( Just kidding) Riverside is about 60 miles inland from Los Angeles. The closest airport would be Ontario ( ONT). If you need a ride from the airport, it can be arranged. Also, there is a new hotel going up practically across the street from us. I cant think of the name of it offhand, but will check it out if you would like me to.
-
What part of Brooklyn? I have some friends that are from Bay Ridge.
-
Marc, you have friends everywhere, don't you? If figures. Any one else wanting to join us?
-
I am coming sans the hubby. I am finding pretty cool raffle prizes. No one upset if I have Christmas stuff for prizes? I figure whatever I come up with will be fine!
-
It's pot-luck, so what are we all bringing?
:beer1;
-
Pot-Luck, oh crap. I have to cook?
-
Pot-Luck, oh crap. I have to cook?
:rofl; LOL No no, didn't mean to scare you off Kit!
Maybe if you get your request in early you can probably bring something needed, but store bought. (My brother always manages to volunteer for cups, plates and napkins -- hasn't cooked in 20 years.)
What do you think you'll need Jean?
-
Stater Brothers coleslaw?
-
What a wonderful time you all will have. Wish I could come but Georgia is just a touch too far. Hope you all have a ball.
-
I'd like to come, but to soon to plan recovery wise. However Southwest has been sending me deals to fly out west for $49 one way. What is Riverside's nearest airport?
I could atleast start to plan something and finalize it in May after a few weeks post surgery.

Ontario is the closest airport, but if you chose to fly into Burbank I could give you a ride.

Wow, LA. I've never been to Los Angeles before. I will love to fly there in June. Jean, can you find out about the hotel for me. Also, if New York airport wasn't so strict, I will bring a dozen New York pizza pies. However, it will not make it pass security at the airport. So the date is June 6th correct? I will purchase tickets as soon as possible. Let me know what is the exact date and location. :bandance;

Flatbush.
-
Wow, all those questions!!!!! I guess we should make a list to see what we want to eat. Yes, Kit, coleslaw is great, or even some KFC. Okay then every one tell me what you want to bring and if we have duplicates, we will just fix it. Oh, BTW I love you are helping ( actually doing) the raffle things Kit. Chris I would love to have you come. Kit, did you invite Jennifer yet? Paris, we would also love your help in the raffle thing. CD brooklyn, I think Karol has already answered your questions. I will check out the closest hotel. I am thinking, one person could bring hamburger, one rolls, one lettuce, tomato, etc. OR One person bring hot dogs, one rolls, one condiments. Any more suggestions?
-
I am hoping I can come. So if I fly in, and the hotel is nearby, is there a grocery store nearby? Not sure I will have enough saved to rent a car, but figured there is usally a driver service to and from the airport.
So drinks we need, dessert ;D , andddd
Ohhh, and I do have a new GPS unit Karol that replaced Mandy :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Oh Chris, Yes, that is wonderful ( the GPS I mean) And that you might come is even better. Now if only Paris would show up and bring Beth with her?? Are you listening, Paris? If you all dont want hot dogs or hamburgers, we could have chicken, or steaks, or what ever you want . No, there is no store real close, they are all about 2.5 miles away. Unlike the corporate website, the Riverside Meadows..net, which states there is a supermarket one mile away. Yes, we will need drinks, large ice chests if you have them, those that are driving, and desserts. I will make my famous brownies for all of you. LOL.
-
The LA airport is really easy to get around in also if you fly in there.
Here is a sample of a previous IHD meet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck_PqGLsuHo
Then there is this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74jzU87QjGw
-
or even some KFC.
I stopped buying KFC as the last couple of times it tasted very salty to me. How about El Pollo Loco? May we have a list of places around our destination where we may buy food? Coming from Carson (couple of hours), and considering the heat in June, don't want to poison everyone!
-
I love El Pollo Loco - looks like there are 3 in Riverside http://local.yahoo.com/results?stx=el+pollo+loco&csz=Riverside%2C+CA
Heat in June? What about June Gloom? It might be warm, ya never know. I hope it's just right, but no matter - it will still be fun.
:bandance;

I wish you were doing this April 10-17 I am flying out to California to visit my brother who rented a house in Balboa that week. Oh well......probably won't want to go to far from the beach anyway being I am comming in from the snow area......sounds like fun.....enjoy
-
Also, if New York airport wasn't so strict, I will bring a dozen New York pizza pies. However, it will not make it pass security at the airport.
Ohhhhh, Not for nuttin but fuhged aboud it. Your killin me. I would LOOOVE a slice! Fold one in half for me and smuggle it on board. lol
I do miss a really good pizza pie.

Post while you are out here. Newport is about 30-45 minutes away. Maybe I'll hit the beach while you are out here to say hello. You can always email me too.
-
Chris, if you can't rent a car don't worry about it. I can swing by the airport if the hotel does not have a shuttle.
-
If you fly into Ontario I can be wheels too.
I love hotdogs and buns so I can bring those. How many?
-
As of this moment, 12 for pretty darn sure.
So:
List:
Kitkatz, Hot dogs and Buns
Jean, All the condiments for the dogs and Brownies.
Karol, drinks?
Potato Salad
Macaroni Salad
Paper Supplies
Anything Else?
-
I could bring deviled eggs or chips and salsa or beverages - whatever you need, let me know.
-
Oh Lord.....
I'm SO far away.... In Ireland......
But I could SO easily be tempted!!!!!....
If I could only get a spare carer.....
Love to all.....
Darth.....
-
Well, gang, unfortunately the nearby hotel is not opening until July!!!! So, I am going to look around, or, knowing Karol, she will do it.Crap!!!
-
Depending on my back situation, I'll try to make it.
-
:bandance;
-
:clap; :clap; :clap; That would be great Kelly.
-
I spoke with Trina and she said she and Nick would love to come. :2thumbsup;
-
Okay Everyone: What wonderful responses already!!! The date is set for June 6th, that is a Sunday. We will proceed to make more plans as time goes on. This is gonna be so much fun!!!!
Do we have a time set?
-
I would Love to be there, but, I can't make it. I have never been to California. Could Someone, Stand in as a Proxy, for Me? You would have to, 1. Eat a Hot Dog. 2. Eat some Potato Salad. 3. Drink a Beer, ( unless, that Exceeds, Your Fluid Limit for the Day ) Come to think of it, that Hot Dog and Potato Salad, is off the List also. Shoot. I'm not Dialysis, so I always, have to Switch, back and Forth, between, Two different, Think Modes, when it comes to Food. Anyway, Have Fun!
-
I have a very messy guest room someone can have.
-
that is so nice of you Kit!!!!
Marc has also researched nearby hotels and one of us will be getting prices and get back to you all shortly.
Time wise, I am thinking, 11:30 A.M. until we just get tired of talking.
Does that work for everyone?
-
Oooooohhhhh!!!!....
I'm SO tempted!......
Darth....
-
Forgot what I was going to say on Jeans comment, pretty sure it was something smart :sir ken; though :-[ :rofl;
-
DARTHIE,
You are being tempted, your eyes are getting heavy, you are getting sleepy, soon you will go online and order plane tickets, and come to California.
CHRIS, What????
-
Darth,
Do it, do it do it! Please. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I know I can...
-
I'm STILL looking into getting care for Mum!!!!....
Start praying!...
Darth.....
-

-
:pray; :pray; :pray;
-
