Andy and I are going back to NJ for a visit in May. It would be lovely to meet other IHDers there - if any - and sit and chat in a diner somewhere.

Thought I'd get a jump on making connections this time, instead of last minute like my Tucson visit!

So good of you to look up others from here. I live in Maine and have had one person come visit last year and will have another this Easter. I am excited to have her come because she is from New Zealand. having the support from here is great, but meeting someone face to face is a trip.

Holy crap! Vineland is where we are from, and where we are going. I guess you must dialyze at SJH Bridgeton?

Wanna meet up?

Hey! Maybe we could all arrange to meet in Philly somewhere? That'd be about halfway for all of us.

Yep, East Coast: just south of New York, just east of Pennsylvania.

It'll be nice to go down the shore and have north on my LEFT, as it should be. Every time I go to the Pacific Ocean I get all discombobulated that way.

Oh, that's hilarious! I'm the exact opposite. I live in a city where the giant body of water is to the east, and I just cannot keep that in my head. Enormous ponds are supposed to be West! Why can't we all just agree on this one simple point? 

(Also, you should be allowed to call all largish bodies of water 'oceans'. I cannot tell you how much this would improve my life and make me look less ridiculous on a near-daily basis.)

Yep, one of the 13 original colonies. I love being surrounded by history. That's one thing I hate about Phoenix - everything is so new and garish. There's no architecture to speak of. And don't get me started on how they dress out here for what we in the East consider formal or semi-formal occasions.  Cut-off shorts and flip-flops at the ballet!  :banghead;

Shorts and flip-flops?  Get on over here next to the Pacific Ocean or you might miss "Mooning the Am-Trak".  Nobody will call you a "buttinsky".
