Update on location of banner 1

I have the banner in my possession having picked it up at Polo Towers in Las Vegas. It will be on its way to Yellowstone next week and then I'll send it on to BlackDiamond.

I think it's cool that this very banner has been underwater in the Bahamas!

We'll be in SoCal at Newport Beach both Sept 18th and Nov 6th. I'd be happy to travel with the banner.

Key West For Fantasy Fest

I can get the Banner into the parade on Saturday Night. I'll ask the "Fat Lady" to sing with it! Or maybe a photo of the Banner at the Toga Party?
Let me know.
We depart on Friday, October 23rd. Will need to have it delivered on or before the 20th.
Return date is scheduled for November 6th. But we will have been in Key West for about 10 days by then so , so, so..... well, who knows?
Maybe the State Department will let me into Cuba by then.
:hi:

1. you must sign the banner with your name (or tug login), put the location/resort you are at...and put a date on it(ill send a sharpie in the box).

2. you must take a photo of the banner at some location in or around the resort. I will leave the photo "background" up to you....be it the resort logo...a beautiful sunset on the beach....or a shot with a "timeshare billboard" in the background =)
Oops! I violated the rules with my recent photos. We didn't take the photos at the resort where we stayed but took it by the Yellowstone sign and a Jackson Hole, WY, location. Sorry about that--I promise to do better next time.:(

I appreciate the reminder though . . . as we may have messed up next week by taking it down into the French Quarter. I'll be sure we get something in or around our T/S first :)

We are with the "stealth banner" (aka a business card I created with the TUG logo) at Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas, Maui, Hawaii. (I was telling the photographer to hold down the button on the camera when he took it. It was raining and windy, so another pic was not really going to happen! :) )

You can have banner 1 on that date easily, but you will need to ship it to susieq927 while you are there in key west if you get it from ptprism. if thats ok with you, you are more than welcome!

The Cruising Tuggers are organizing a Mediterranean cruise in Jun 2010. I already have my cabin booked and have a request in for Marriott's Marbella or Andaluza resorts the week before (June 6th, 2010).

It looks like nothing is booked for those two weeks (June 6th and 13th). I would like to take one of the banner along if that's possible.

Status Update on Banner 2 (TImeshareVon to RobertK1)

Well well well . . . I just learned today that the banner would not make its way to RobertK1 before his trip. Unfortunately, it was mishandled out of New Orleans and returned to sender here in Milwaukee. My local postman went ahead and cleared it and sent it on its way from here, but that wasn't until Tuesday (7/7).

This particular transfer from me to RobertK1 was very tight and included a holiday weekend. I took our photo on Monday 6/29 and sent the banner on its way Tuesday via USPS priority mail. It should have made it to RobertK1 by that Friday (7/3) but alas, the USPS screwed up in New Orleans causing the missing connection.

Sorry folks :(

this may or may not work, i put you down as an alternate for banner 2 just in case the shipping wont work for MAS going to panama. I find it highly unlikely that he will be able to ship it to you in time if he gets it in panama.


February 27, 2010 - Manhattan Club, New York City

this however, is confirmed for you.
