California people...

Post by darick »

Who's from California here?

I live in San Jose. But also travel to San Diego/Los Angeles sometimes. Would be cool to meet up with others in the boat (bag) as me.

Maybe once every few months. I'll let you know the next time.

Going to San Diego this weekend.

I live on the lovely central coast of California....but you know that already. I think Sharon was part of the Reno gang organized by Tiny. It's not to early ro start planning for the 2017 UOAA conference in Irvine, CA. I've made life long friends at these meetings, Darick included!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Ya Linda is about 2-3 hours south of me.

Can't wait for Irvine!

Just to wet your appetite a little, On the Home page under Conferences you can see the Logo for Irvine.

Be there or be square.......

Rowdyj, that's fairly close to Sacramento? Maybe Sharon, you, and I can meet up for coffee one day.

This is a bit further outside the topic of ostomies, but...we're planning to move back to California after 12 years in Hawaii. I grew up in Sacramento and my husband grew up in San Diego, and we lived in the Bay Area for decades.

We're thinking of the foothills/Gold Country, maybe Grass Valley or Placerville or east of Yuba City. 1500 to 2500 ft elevation is what we have in mind.
Anybody have experience in those areas? Tips, suggestions, warnings? Ostomy resources? (to pretend to make this vaguely pertinent to the board)
