Icon7 Had a very nice Lunch Yesterday

Kind of spur of the moment, John (Locutus49) suggested we meet for a lunch at the local (La Jolla) beach front hotel. Of course, then followed by some watch shopping at the boutique across the street. It was a very nice time and as John suggested, we should get the whole San Diego TRF gang and have a nice GTG. Tony, Randy, Leon etc. (as long as we are not all in jail ).

But I want to thank you for a very nice time John, and thank you again for the lunch. Your Platoona is amazing, and it was a completely enjoyable meal (at his suggestion, we both had the lobster salad, it was definitely Gerardo worthy!! ) When we have the GTG lunch is on me.... (Or we'll get Tony to pick up the check ).

Seems like a nice little get together! Those always seem fun yet I've never been to one. Some day I'll have to attend a Toronto area get together. Be sure to post pictures from your next gathering, folks.

Hey, VTC, I just caught this thread. Thank you for meeting for lunch. I really enjoyed it; you are a great guy despite what Jocke says.

We also had an interesting discussion on Tumi, of which we are both fans. Anyone from the San Diego area that wants to get together with us should let us know.

Best Regards.
