I am so jealous! Wish I could be there, but I cannot. Know that I am there in spirit, and take a lot of pictures!

Come and meet us upstairs!!

Linda, I am sorry, we will miss you at the get-together. We will see you next time ;)

Fern, believe it or not, we talk about you at all the NorCal TUGgers luncheons :D They say - Fern used to co-ordinate one heck of a get-together! Those were special times according to those who had the good fortune to hang out with you. :clap:

Caroline just let me know that we will be meeting in the upstairs room tomorrow. Thanks Caroline :hi: I am glad this is the case - as it will be FAR quieter:cheer: upstairs than at the general area.

I was having such a terrific time talking with everyone that I had a really difficult time to get away and take more photos of all that was going on. Hopefully I will get to see the pictures Ty and Ken had taken during the luncheon.

Thanks Emmy. We all had such a fun time!

Thanks to all the NorCal TUGgers who participated in this get-together. All the interesting stories and the easy-going attitude everyone showed -- can't wait for the next one!

Special thanks to Caroline (hunneybunny) to arrange the room for us. Once they shut off the music to our area, it was much quieter and more enjoyable (thanks Ken! :hi:)

We had a nice turn out. Several TUGgers attended the luncheon although they just got back from their trips. (Gary, thanks for telling me about the Grand Chateau. We will need to check and confirm whether the GC guests get to use the pool at the new Planet Hollywood resort/casino.)

Yes, it was a very nice turnout. I did not get to meet everyone, but at least now I can put a face with the forum unsernames. It was very interesting to hear about everyone's timeshares they own and where they have travelled to. I would venture to say that Ty and Helene have most of us beat with their adventures. :wave:

What a great bunch of folks! Everyone was so generous with sharing their experiences & love of travel. A very diverse group of owners, too. Such fun! Thanks to everyone who helped to put this meet together & take the time to attend. It was a real pleasure to meet you all.:hi:

Some notes...

I had a great time at the NorCal TUGGERS luncheon. :banana: It was really great to meet all you nice people!

Let me see if I can write some quick notes about this get together...
  • Ty and Helen picked me up from home and we would have getten there on time except for the traffic jam at the I-880/I-680 link... :(
  • When we got there, half the crowd already assembled and were progressing with the meet, greet and eat program ;)
  • We missed Fern, Doug Kaya, Denise etc. etc. Hope we can get together again with all of you soon.
  • We all had opportunity to introduce ourselves and talk about the various weeks we own, and share our favorite resorts/region. Yeaah!!
  • I was impressed by the amount of travel/ timesharing knowledge everyone had. Majority seem to own 5+ weeks and know quite a bit about the industry, and how to make the best out of their weeks. Very cool! :whoopie:
