Oh there are so many things I'd like to say in response to this but better not here on this board!

I will say however that even though we only spent one (wonderful) afternoon together in SEA, ILP knows me quite well (as far as ice cream goes)!

Lisa, that itn sounds incredible! Thanks so much for thinking of it. I'd like to try and balance things out a bit, so how about lunch in Manhattan Beach since it looks like the majority would like that (wahooflyer and possibly wingless and auh2o ) and then maybe some beach stuff after with dinner at the Thai restaurant? If the others can't make it then I'll put myself in your capable hands.
