TUG Orlando get together Jan 23, 2019

[ronandjoan]

Once again we will have our annual TUG get-together at the Golden Corral in Orlando! We want to see everyone there again!

Looking forward to it already!

Joan and Ron

Right now I’ll miss this by a week. I’ve put it on my calendar though as my travel dates may change.

 

[Panina]

I miss it too. One week earlier and I could have attended.

That annual event has become a January highlight for The Chief Of Staff & me, & we have it on the calendar again for next January.

Now all we have to do is snag a nice timeshare reservation for the TUG get-together week. (We already booked a nice Vacation Village At Parkway unit for the preceding week.)

Rather than make a straight-points reservation right now, we're inclined to keep holding out till the bargains start showing up on the RCI Points web site. That's always semi-risky, even though January is off-season in Orlando-Kissimmee. We'll just keep waiting & keep checking RCI bargain availability (Last Calls, special sales on Extra Vacation Getaways, etc.).

I really enjoyed meeting everyone for the first time last year. Now that my husband is retired he is looking forward to coming with me this year.

Thanks for taking the lead on this Joan. We hope to make it.

We will be away that week. Could you possibly change it to January 16th? Seems to be a lot of us that can make it a week earlier.

I can definitely come if January 16.

 

[Jan M.]

We have no plans for January so if a week earlier works for more people we are good with that date.

Yes, that's true but, can you believe, we are having our family reunion that week in St Augustine! JOin us there????

 

[ronandjoan]

Our annual TUGGERS meeting is Jan 23rd in Orlando this year. Hope you can join us..

 

[silentg]

Sorry we will be in Ft Myers that week.

 

[ronandjoan]

Sorry we will be in Ft Myers that week.

And we’ll be going there the following week to visit Rons aunt!! Ah well. We’ll miss you this year.

 

[AwayWeGo]

Will be odd if the only people who show up at Golden Corral on Jan. 23 turn out to be Ron & Joan plus The Chief Of Staff & me.

I hope lots more TUG people will be there also. Everyone always has a good time -- usually staying so late that Golden Corral brings out their dinner menu items even though we only paid for lunch.

Regardless, it will be good meeting up with all those who attend, however few or many that turns out to be.

[Panina]

Disappointed once again I can’t make it. Hopefully next year the dates will work for me to get to this get together.

 

[Jan M.]

I'm looking forward to seeing people from last year and maybe some new faces too!

 

[bluehende]

I haven't thought that far ahead but would love to make it. I think it has been about 6 yrs since we have been able to make it.

 

[lovemyjeep]

My husband and I plan to attend--looking forward to meeting other TUG members

We haven't posted very much but read the newsletter every week, have posted one resort review, preparing a second review, and will be in Orlando on January 23! So which Golden Corral (Google says there are several in Orlando) and what time? (We have dinner reservations already that night....)

Well I'm putting it on my agenda and hopefully nothing keeps my wife and I away. I live in Port Charlotte so it's just 2 hr drive for me.

We will actually be in Orlando that week from Jan 20-25, staying at The Fountains resort from BG, using the 9000 point one year trial package we purchased from BG prior to joining Wyndham. We will add this to our calendar and try to attend. Our young adult children are coming with us (19, 21, 24), so we may or may not be able to actually make it depending on our plans for that day.

The Fountains (right across the street from Vistana Villages) is on our Some Day list -- beautiful resort where we would love to snag an exchange reservation some January if we ever get the opportunity.

We will missed this gathering. God willing , we will be sailing on the new Celebrity Cruise Ship called The Edge.
To everyone at the GC, please enjoy the gathering.
