Come to Orlando Jan 22 for our 2020 TUG meeting!

while we watched John Wick Chapter 3 on Redbox DVD. (I enjoyed it. The Chief Of Staff didn’t care for it.)

Too much killing? I guess it is a movie, but I simply don't see how he could have survived all those movies with that onslaught.

John Wick takes no baloney & doesn’t fight fair.

Air conditioner broke, getting it replaced hopefully Tuesday but might be Wednesday. Weather is supposed to cool down. If all is done we will be there maybe a little later than 2 pm though. Look forward to seeing Tug friends

Glad to hear from everyone and looking forward to Wednesday afternoon

We would have shown up for the preview if we had been alert enough to realize anybody else was planning on being there. Sorry we missed it.

For lunch, we had Walkabout Wednesday steak at Outback. For supper, we got a sack of tacos from Taco Bell to eat back at our timeshare unit while we watched John Wick Chapter 3 on Redbox DVD. (I enjoyed it. The Chief Of Staff didn’t care for it.)

I did not look at TUG-BBS till after the movie. Otherwise we would have shown up for Bingo.

Your mention of a sack of tacos reminded me of many years ago they were 19 cents each. We would take a sack to the drive-in on Friday night.

Fret not. The TUG crowd doesn’t quit till the afternoon is done & we’re well into evening.

In addition to all the fun fellowship, there’s an added benefit of staying late — Golden Corral brings out the dinner menu items, which go beyond all the choices available for lunch.

They don't get upset about the self created BOGO?

They have been welcoming & forebearing in prior years.

One rub is that wait-staff shifts change before the TUG group breaks up, meaning that those going off-shift lose out on tips. We’ve tried to anticipate that & see that the early shift gets a little something.

Had a great time, and about 27 people came, many new people, and some coming and going throughout the time. The very last people left at 9 pm (we stood in the doorway for a while and talked.) It's great to move about after each new plate and then you get to talk to most everyone.
Here are pictures of some of the persons that attended

I wish I'd been able to make it! Unfortunately, I'm having a tough time getting everything handled before we leave for Hawaii - I don't expect to get back to Miami until about four hours before our flight leaves!! We're packed, though, and the pet sitter arrived safely this evening, so I think it's all going to be just fine. Hope to catch you all next year!

 

[hjsweet2002]

We had a great time. Thank you. It was nice meeting fellow members of TUG.

Looks liked all went well, GC is very accommodation for small groups starting late for lunch and going into diner time. LOL...Plus, GC, give you time and space, so you can fellowship with one another. A big shout out to GC and to all Tuggers in attendance. Be safe and enjoy many, many and many more timeshare vacations with love ones, family’s and friends.

 

[mcsteve]

This was a lot of fun. Many thanks to ronandjoan for setting this up. It was great to put some faces to names and enjoy getting to know people better. I also learned how to make the most out of the Golden Coral lunch fee

Suggestion only next time just give the wait staff an envelope with a small tip inside for setting up. That is what our small group does at our local GC.

It was nice meeting and talking with everyone. Sorry we couldn’t get around to everyone there but we had a 2 hour drive after dinner so did not want to stay too late. Although in hindsight, leaving at rush hour probably wasn’t the best idea. Hopefully we can do this again sometime. Thanks for organizing it.

The Commander-in-Chief and I could not attend; but our hearts and souls were their at GC.

We do not have a special set up, we just go into a corner and take tables. However. We all tipped both the gal that was there from 2-3:30 and then the one after.

We were very glad you took the time to come and drive that long dr Be. Yes, hope to see you again next year
