Me neither. Both seem to come available after the new year. I think Black Diamond has the other one, ready to mail after 12/29.

Mike & Phyllis (pittle) with Jean (olschool) & Mingo at the Mondavi - November 2013. Mondavi is a small resort just up from Ocho Casadas by Grand Miramar. The views of the bay are spectacular.

We had a great time and each hosted a dinner for the others.

Pittle (in center) with Tropical Lady (Joan) on right. Joan's husband Jim is on the left. They were staying at the Grand Luxxe in Nuevo Vallarta and came to visit Mike and Phyllis at the Buganvilias Sky Suites. We had a great afternoon of visiting and then went to dinner at El Andreigo's just up from the Buganvilias.

We also went sailing with kscar, but did not get a group photo with the banner.

Pittle . . . great photos in Mexico. I'm so glad it worked out for you to have the banner for your trip!

I will be in Aruba for 1 month starting June 15th. I will have family visiting me thruout the month who can easily ship the banner back once they return to the USA. If the banner is available, I'd love to take it with me.

2014 Tug Banner Requests

OK so if I've kept up with things, there are currently two TUG banners in circulation.

Black Diamond has one available now and NHTraveler has the other (for shipping between 1/3 and 1/7). I don't see anything lined up after their December trips.

The only pending request I see right now for the new year is TopMom101 who's going to Aruba in June.

Does that about size things up at the moment?

I'll make one (easier to pack) to take to Japan and Russia in May.

Here's a thought, Brian. How about making a printable 'banner'? Maybe it could be in either this thread or a Sticky. Then people could just print out their own, shoot a photo and post it. It would save on postage and require no scheduling.

I know it's fun to have the one(s) with all the names of TUGgers who've traveled with it, but it's heavy and takes a good bit of room if you're traveling by plane and using carry-ons.

Jim

I believe I linked the hi-res image of the oval TUG logo in another thread...ill have to find it.

folks are welcome to print that if they wish.

or buy any of the stuff at the cafepress logo store if they just want something with the tug logo on it =)


As long as folks arent using the logo or name for commercial endeavors (or representing TUG in a poor light)...folks are welcome to use the logo on whatever they like.

Out of curiosity, how much does one of the banners like you have cost Brian? I wouldn't mind having one myself, actually. With the number of times I've had and shipped one forward, my guess is I could have probably bought two of them. :)

I can ask the printer when I speak to him next, I know of at least one person (pianodinosaur) that had the printer make and ship him one as well.

I want to say it was 40 dollars?
