I recommend dinner together at the Timbuktu, if possible.
I am going to Martinsburg WV to visit my sister so I have a choice of airports to fly to. Now flying out of, Ontario is the closet and the best to get in and out of but LAX is about 1:30 hours away and can be hundreds cheaper. My sister is the one that told me about Freerepublic about 10 years ago. She joined in 1998.
