Toward the end of the TUG-BBS discussion topic about the 2020 Orlando TUG meeting, most of the recent entries actually concern when & if something similar will happen again next January -- January 2021.
Click here for those TUG-BBS entries.
The title of that discussion topic can easily make people think it's just about an event that is over & done, even though attention has shifted to the possibilities for next January.
So the TUG-BBS discussion about a possible January 2021 informal TUG social get-together in Orlando clearly needs its own TUG-BBS thread (although there's nothing wrong with keeping the old thread going too). I got to thinking about that right before I started this thread.
Plenty of TUG people are interested in getting together next January, same as we've enjoyed doing for the past several Januaries. Some people's plans are already set. Others are tentative, owing mainly to safety concerns over travel in the age of coronavirus.
Because the traditional Golden Corral TUG meeting place could iffy next January, other possibilities have been mentioned -- a timeshare resort social room (Magic Tree, for example), or an unused movie theater that rents out auditoriums at nominal cost, etc. The possibilities are still open.
Plans & ideas are still in flux -- no official announcement or invitation has gone out.
Meeting times mentioned so far are Friday evenings -- i.e., Jan. 15 or Jan. 22 or Jan. 23, 2021.
The Chief Of Staff & I are really hoping that plans for the event come together & that we get to enjoy some fun time in Orlando again next January with our TUG friends. Yet our own travel plans are still uncertain.
We have a unit in Kissimmee reserved for January 23-30, 2021. We might show up & check in. We might even snag more timeshare reservations for 1 or 2 of the January weeks right before that. Or we might forgo January travel altogether, scared off by coronavirus.
With luck, the situation will start to clarify by the middle of next month, which by coincidence is when the RCI calendar of available bargain units Last Call (etc.) should start to open up for January 2021.
Meanwhile, we'll keep on checking TUG-BBS & RCI Dot Com.
