MY WONDERFUL AND FIRST LARGE VT MEETING :-)

Oceanside is a place never to forget for me :-))).
I and my lovely wife Ursula came to the USA for the first time on 10 April 2003 at about 2pm. We were picked up from LAX to San Diego by our great friend Linda (Imkluque).

On 12 April 2003 we went to Oceanside for our first large VT meeting organized by Barry (Spartan) specially for us!!! Imagine that we knew our dates just ten days or so before and that Barry was still on his Honeymoon (with Laurie-Jeanne). Oh, it was
the fastest organized large VT meeting ever, I suppose. And it was a blast!!!

.

Hot welcome :-)))

Believe me, I am not sure whether our dog would welcome us so warm and enthusiastic like VT gang did in Oceanside :-)))

.

Perfect location for VT meetings!

Oceanside is a beachfront community of 150,000 located in northern San Diego County between San Diego and Los Angeles (easy to get for VT-ers from both areas).
The meeting took place at the Rockin' Baja Lobster restaurant, located at the marina next to a charming lighthouse - just perfect location!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Barry (spartan) + his wife Laurie-Jeanne :-))); pier, marina, beaches, weather, nearby numerous attractions - perfect place for meetings!
  • Cons:High risk of catching OA (Oceanside Addiction) - very serious disease, no cure but strong support group
  • In a nutshell:Let's meet in Oceanside!

    It looks like the VT meet was a lot of fun even without the eggs. I have noticed that people do tend to dress very casual in California.

    Haha, I noticed that in California, better to be a bit over the speed limit than under if you did not want to slow the whole traffic! I understand you had a real great time in a city with a lighthouse painted Polish colors!

    I used to work at Rockin' Baja Lobster in the harbor. If the tourists only knew how many locals and employees get food poisoning there they would think twice about going. Hopefully they will address those problems, otherwise it's in a nice location.

    Looks like you and your lovely wife Ursula had a wonderful time on your first visit to the U.S. Got a laugh out of your "Pretty Women" danger tip. BTW Hans & I often use hotel coupon books. Great tip. Big hugs. Lori. PS Your Canada map is empty!!!

    This must be the greatest meetings page ever. I guess you've worked hard for that "free" VT shirt, Matt! Great tips on a great time.

    The 9/10 means that you are paying (using the Reg. price in the photo as an example) $2.17 for 9/10ths of a gallon of gasoline. It does NOT mean $2.17 and 9/10ths of a penny rounded up to $2.18 a gallon.
