FREQUENT TRAVELER UNIVERSITY 11/2 – 12/2 MEETING READERS & TICKET NEEDED
Hello Readers,
I am hoping to see many of you at the upcoming Frequent Traveler University conference this month in Los Angeles. I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving with my family next week. It will be a nice little break from homeschool and then the following weekend I’m heading to LA for the event. I would love to meet any of my readers who will be attending. I’ve decided the easiest way to do that would be set a place and time where I’ll be and you can come find me if you like.
SO COME FIND ME!!!
Saturday, December 1st @ 5:30 p.m. (Program ends at 5:00 p.m.)
Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel- RENDEZVOUS LOUNGE ( “The Bar” Cocktail Lounge)
Around 6:30 ish I’ll be heading to Hermosa Beach for the evening for those who’d like to join me.
If you aren’t familiar with Los Angeles, Hermosa Beach is right next to Manhattan Beach on the water and about 6 miles (15 minutes) away from the Sheraton. When I’m in LA, Hermosa Beach is one of my favorite places to hang out. I grew up in a small town but I used to visit Hermosa Beach/ Manhattan Beach a lot in my college years because it was one of my best friends hometown. Lots of great memories!
So for those of you who’d like to join me for dinner, I’d love to spend the evening with you. I usually travel with my kiddos & hubby but I’m traveling solo to the conference so I could use some company. Anyway, I’m counting on you all to come and kick up your heels with me after a long day of mile & point strategizing.
I’m open to suggestions from the group that forms but here are my suggestions for dinner & entertainment.
La Playita – Awesome mexican food
Fritto Misto – Great Italian food
The Comedy & Magic Club – Food & Entertainment
Oh…..just in case you haven’t read my “About” page. Here is a recent pic of me so you’ll quickly spot me in the lounge!
