Good morning everyone, it’s been a while since my last Miles and Points Meetup so I wanted to get something on the schedule. I am planning a meetup in Orange County and another meetup in the Bay Area. I will be in Orange County for Super Bowl weekend, so I was hoping to meetup then (same place, same time).
OC Meetup:
- Date: Saturday, January 31
- Time: 6-8pm
- Location: In-N-Out at the Tustin District (2895 Park Avenue, Tustin, CA 92782)
I’ve talked a few people in the Bay Area and know 2 readers/friends who live near Fremont. Let’s have the first Bay Area Meetup around Fremont. There is a BART station here and I can pick up a few people and take us to dinner. Since I don’t know the area well (I’ve only been to Fremont once to visit Target and Walmart), I am leaving it up to you to decide on a place to eat. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Bay Area / Fremont Meetup:
- Date: Saturday,February 7
- Time: 6-8pm
- Location: TBD, any recommendations?
If you plan on attending or think you might be able to attend, please let me know in the comments below. I will have a few more posts before the meetup to remind everyone and organize the details. If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a great day everyone!
Why on earth would you pick Fremont? How about San Francisco, where there are nice restaurants and bars everywhere?
My next meet up will be in San Francisco, do you have any recommendations for places to eat?
Aww hey there, Fremont actually has a lot of good food if you’re into Asian food! I actually prefer Fremont over SF!
What are the best Asian restaurants in Fremont? I’ve been to a few in Union City and Milpitas, but not in Fremont.
There is a really good Thai restaurant I went to for lunch a few days ago in Fremont, but I’m sure there are others.
@bmau09: I’m a little out of touch now since I live/work in the Oakland and Dublin areas, but the Thai temple in Fremont is really well known for its authentic Thai food: http://www.yelp.com/biz/buddhanusorn-thai-temple-fremont
For some great milk tea: Gong Cha and Tea Papa
Korean style bar food: K-Pop Café (also has karaoke)
Dohatsuten Japanese Ramen
Shanghai Noodle House
Teo Chow Noodle Shack
Bob Sang Korean BBQ & Tofu
Little Dipper Shabu Shabu
And yes, Union City and Milpitas also have great Asian food!!
Great recommendations Star, I had Thai food the last time I was in Fremont.
How about In N Out in Dublin for Bay area meetup?
That’s a pretty good idea Jason, I do love In-N-Out after all.
Yay! Looking forward for it.
I will attend in Orange County!
Excellent, I look forward to meeting and speaking with you. Feel free to invite anyone else that might be interested.
It’ll be awesome if you do Fremont as I live there. There’s a bunch of restaurants including In n Out in the Pacific Common area (nice area). I would recommend Five Guys though. It’s similar to In n Out and a popular one if you want to give a try. I plan to attend if in Fremont :)
Maybe we can even meet at your house? Just kidding, the Five Guys sounds good to me, I love me some Cajun Fries!
Awesome! hopefully five guys won’t disappoint ;)
Five Guys never disappointing me :)
I’ll try and make it. You should do an LA meetup.
One of these days Jonathan, I will do an LA Meetup.
I’d love to attend, though would prefer if we pick a place by a BART station. :)
I would love to have you at the meetup. Fremont has a BART station and I can pick you up and take you to the restaurant.
Grant, Are you based in the Bay Area now? I’ve just been reading your posts for 6 months or so and it seems like you’ve moved from Southern California to the Bay Area. I love you’re starting from the Bay Area now since I’m in Sacramento.
Yes, I moved the Bay Area / Walnut Creek last month. I guess you missed this post: http://travelwithgrant.boardingarea.com/2014/12/11/travel-with-grant-is-moving-to-the-bay-area-this-weekend/
I love it up here so far!
I will try my best to make the OC meetup!
I hope to see you there, long time no see, we need to catch up :)
P.S. Maybe you can mention the meetup on your blog sometime in the coming days.
Hello Grant , I am in for OC meet up :)
Excellent, I will see you there Manhar!
Hey Grant! I think I and a few friends may try to make it to your Fremont meetup. :) Most of us live in Emeryville area. I work in Dublin. Dublin is my favorite place to MS! :)
Excellent, I will see you at the Fremont Meetup. Dublin definitely is MS-friendly :)
I’m interested in the OC meetup. I can probably make it.
Good morning Chris, it would be great to see you again. If you know anyone else in San Diego area, please bring them along too :)
Hey Grant! Looking forward to your meet up in Fremont/Dublin. Count us in!
Excellent, I will see you there Carol!
Will attend Fremont meetup on 2/7/15. Fremont location is great for me. I live in South Bay near San Jose. I am sure lots of MS fans from Peninsula and South Bay would love to attend this event as well.
There’s an In-N-Out Burger near Hwy 880’s Auto Mall Parkway’s Exit.

Thank you Chris, I look forward to meeting you at the Fremont meetup. I’m leaning towards Five Guys, but I will do a poll to see which restaurant wins.
Fremont BART is usually busy, even on the weekends. What about Dublin Bart? Dublin BARTS are way nicer, cleaner and newer! And there is an IN N OUT within 2 miles of Dublin BART, and lots of other great cheap restaurants. :)
That is a good idea as well, I will leave it up to a vote to see where we eat.
Grant, I can make the Fremont meeting in February, count me in !
You got it Dave, I look forward to seeing you there!
I’m potentially interested in the Bay Area meet up!
Sounds like a definite maybe Jerry, I hope you can make it there :)
Would like to go. Fremont sounds great!
Sounds great, I’ll see you there Alex!
Hey Grant, nice post as usual! Just fyi: your mobile site I think is infected or something, every time I try to load the page on my iPhone it automatically loads up an app called “dragon city” game and the post does not load up. no problemm loading the post on my laptop though!Thought u might want to know.
oh, I posted this in the wrong area! I meant to post this on the milagePlusX post! ;)
Thank you for the feedback Adam. I tried to replicate your result on my iPhone in Chrome and Safari browsers, but I don’t get the redirect. The ads are not page specific, they are totally random as far as I know. I’m sorry you are experiencing this annoying redirect. I will pass it along to the BA ad team and see if they have any idea how to fix the problem.
I’ll be in the OC again next week. Maybe I’ll join you in the Bay Area one of these days too.
Sounds great Hank, I’ll see you next weekend.
I will try to make the OC meetup. Thank you!
Thank you Mark, looking forward to seeing you this weekend.
I will be in oc meet…
thanks
Thank you Fred, I’m looking forward to meeting you there.
I can’t make it, but would love to get to one in the near future!
No problem Nate. If you are in the Bay Area, you might be in luck. I am planning on having meetups all around the Bay Area. This request is by popular demand.
Hi Grant,
What would we do for Meet Up event?
My typical meetup involves food, and a lot of talking about miles and points. Most of the time, discussion tends to focus on manufactured spending techniques that are local, but some people will be able to share information about various trips. Where are you located?
HI live in OC. So I will meet up you guys for new friends. So excited. How do I recognize you guys when I come there.
I’ll be there with my Travel with Grant shirt. We are meeting outside at the tables, next to the drive through.
I am goals^n^dreams
Gotcha, thank you for clarifying.
This sounds exciting / intriguing ^_^
I’ll show up to OC meetup. In-n-Out is hard to pass up. LOL
Great, I’ll see you there Eric!
Hello Grant! 2/7/15 Sat. 6-8pm is coming soon and I’m super excited. Any updates on location and place to go? Please let us know what the voting options are. Can’t wait!!
Will do Chris, I’m leaning toward Five Guys and will have a vote for lunch vs. dinner on Saturday. Stay tuned!
Darn, too late. When is the next BA meetup?
Probably in mid March.
