This seems kind of complicated...maybe I am doing something wrong...oh my..notice the TUG Banner makes a great sunscreen or blanket...

Boy...how I wish I was back at the coast....still in Mexico though but in colder part...but only 30 plus more days and off to Puerto Vallarta...yippee!

Happy vacations to all.....show that banner off...everyone asks what it is all about...such fun!!!

Brian if I did this wrong...sorry. Correct whatever you like, if needed. I also resent you my 2009 schedule....in Mexico of course....

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!

 

[pammex]

anyone heard from cslmit....I UPS'd the banner to their resort from Mexico and have not heard if they received. I sent PM's to them. I tracked the banner on UPS and it arrived at their resort and was signed for.....so just hope thye have it....

Brian do you per chance know??

 

[TUGBrian]

ive not heard from them...but its not uncommon...the only updates I get are when people have returned and send me an email with their pictures!

 

[pammex]

okay Brian thanks for taking the time to respond....I am just concerned as they did say they would pm me when they recived it, but maybe they are just having so much fun on vacation....I hope anyway.

Banner 1 back from Thanksgiving in Hawaii!

Banner 1 had a great time vacationing in Hawaii! Unfortunately, no other TUG Banners were there to join in the fun, so it had to find its own kind of banner amusements. Here's a picture of it playing on the beach in front of Kauai Beach Villas.

BMW guy...great picture...poor banner all alone! Hope you had a great vacation...

Brian...just wanted to let you know cslmit...have the banner so all is well, just thought I would let you know, they PM'd me....

HI Brian, The new additions you made to Banner 2 for me, all look llike they will work out great thus far..Thank you...They all look like there will be time for banner to be delivered to hubby in Mass. to bring to Mexico ( that will avoid any Fedex or such for others) and if you can leave say a week or a tad more after each one, he usually returns to states in that time frame on those dates, and he can send on to next person for me, without Fedex, but if it happens that I have to do the Fedex, have no fear I will...the banner must keep moving on and vacationing...LOL.

I have pm'd Black Diamond...maybe they will read on here...as I have no response as yet. Anyway hubby will be leaving the states early morning Dec. 22 for Mexico, so thus he needs banner before that time or else have to make other arrangements for it to be delivered here in Mexico) ( this is for Banner 1). Hubby, as long as we get in time for our vacation on Jan 2, but note he leaves US Dec. 22, he will return to US on Jan 18th so he can send banner on to next person, unless there is a change in the TUG schedule and then we will Fedex it.

Thanks again....this is lots of fun and a great idea with the banner and it sure draws a lot of attention which hopefully gets a lot of newcomers.

Have a nice X-Mas....

Brian -- This is a great, fun idea -- are you thinking about an additional approach to this idea, so more people can be involved? It's really fun set up as it is, but with the shipping time lags, and so forth, it's kind of limited. I'm not angling for a year's membership, since I think the TUG fee is very reasonable. I didn't read this thread in time to offer to take the banner on our upcoming trip to Grand Cayman, staying at two different TS (12/20-1/3), but it would be fun to include photos with it from there. Would you have any interest in emailing me a pdf or jpeg of the "art" and I could perhaps make a smaller version of it for a few photos? That defeats the purpose of having it signed by other Tuggers tho. I'm happy to "advertise" for TUG -- I've found it very helpful and would like to have more folks using it.

Anyway, if taking one to Orlando (Marriott Royal Palms and Saratoga Springs) in June (5-20) would work out, please add me to your list for that time. Thanks.

i dont mind posting up the artwork...its nothing terribly complex...let me go dig it up.

(edit also need to add BDs trips)

 

[TUGBrian]

TUG Brian:
:whoopie: Black Diamond is asking for the banner for the following weeks of TS vacations:

Bon Temps-- New Orleans, LA 3/27 to 4/3 2009

Thanks for the opportunity to get the TUG Banner into another TS as I travel and relax during my school breaks!!

added these dates for you!

I didn't have my laptop with me so communicating with pammex was only when I could get to the (pay) PCs in the business center at Sheraton Vistana Villages. Sorry Pam! As you know from my PM I got the banner just fine. It had a lovely time in Orlando and will be on its way to Southern California very soon!

 

[pammex]

no problem, was just concerned as things can go astray in Mexico as they say and wanted to be sure you had it...and it was not lost at resort or such...

happy to hear you had a great time in Orlando!!!

 

[rsnash]

We have two upcoming trips that one banner or the other might like to come along on...

We just planned a trip (short notice) to Freeport (Ocean Reef Resort) Bahamas, leaving on 12/19. Neither banner has been there, so they are both welcome to come along if you think the shipping will work out for the previous and next guardians. It might be a little tight on for Banner 1, but I could receive Banner 2 from and send it back to Victoria at her resort in CA. Let me know.

Also, May 16-20 staying at Atlantis (but not Harborside), then possibly moving on to a TS if I can find a last minute bonus rental or getaway cheaper than my current hotel res ($600 for 4 days) in Nassau.

Love looking at all the new pictures of where the banners have traveled!

Brian -- Banner 2 has lost its instructions somewhere while traveling the world. Can you (or whomever created them) post what they are so that we can reprint and enclose as needed? Banner 2 still loves its pink Sharpie, though! Thanks.
