Thanks for a great New York get-together!

Since it appears that I am the first one home (although I don't live the closest, I suspect that Frank is still out in front of Ollie's smoking a cigar with Spence and Ken!) I want to thank Frank for organizing a wonderful luncheon.

It's hard to believe that there were still some TS4m and TUG members who live in the area that I still hadn't met, and it was wonderful to meet them! It was also great meeting Ken and his wife (who brought San Francisco chocolates for us all!) and Spence (who traveled from Washington, D.C. for the lunch). Seeing Frank and Dani again was terrific as always.

Hopefully we can hold the second annual Connecticut get-together in July and I will get to see at least some of you all again!

Thanks again Frank!!

Sharon

A Big Thank You

To Frank and Spence for buying us all lunch, and to Ken and his lovely wife Josie for giving us all delicious chocolates.......

Thank you Lawren for organizing the lucheon.

It was a pleasure meeting all of you, and discussing your timeshares and vacations.

We had a wonderful time, your a great group of people.

Sharon you beat me home. Yes myself Ken and Spence were smoking away after lunch. I feel bad for Avery as I think she got to smoke a cigar to. Lunch was very good and we all shared our lunchs but no body wanted what you and Avery ate.
You have to thank Ken because of him that was the main reason we got this get together going and Lawren really was the one who organized it.
I really have to thank Spence for busing it from Washington just to meet up with us. It was a real pleasure to meet some of the new faces that help out here. I hope we can do it again soon but this time in Queens or Williamsburg. We had 2 Long islanders come in. Maybe next time since we have a lot of Long Islanders here. We should have a get together in LI.

Glad you had a good time (she says as packs box after box!)

I would love to do a gathering in Queens - anything I can drive to is easier for me....and we had a great time with Sharon this summer. I will drag Jacki with me to that one .....just stick out your thumb on the LIE and I will stop and pick you all up!

Meeting next time on LI or Queens sounds good to me. I would have liked to join you all today, but had previous commitments to take care of. Glad you all had a great time. I would have loved talk with everyone about timeshare trades and planned vacations. I also wanted to compare notes with Frank on our recent vacations at MP Acapulco as well as continue our discussion about things to do in Italy.

Any chance for Williamsburg.?

I'm leaning toward an April MA vacation week for 2007.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it - sounds like you guys had a great time! Next time I'll join Pat, or get there somehow. Queens or L.I. sounds great to me. I'll pick up at the Port Jeff Ferry if someone wants to sail over from CT. or from the LIRR station also.
Did you take any pictures?

I meant Williamsburg NY not VA. Not sure if you knew what I ment.


Yes Jackie. I took a couple of pictures. I have to charge the batterys so I can download them. Normaly it takes me forever to get them transfered but this time I will get to it by this month.

You are right, I did misinterpret.

Thanks for the clarification.

I finally got home too!

next time I am drining in alone instead of getting hung up waiting for a friend to drive in with me. I apologize for being so late. I didn't have enough time to spend with all of you!!!

Thanks so much to Frank and Spence. That was so kind of you guys, very unexpected and Spence that was after you spent countless hours on a bus! You should have let us treat you!

It was so nice to finally put faces, voices and personalities behind the posts and tagnames after all these years! I felt I knew quite a few of you already and it is funny how comfortable everybody was with each other IMMEDIATELY I could have spent the whole afternoon getting to know everybody better.

Frank you should get that photo up. Have to show people what a fine looking group of individuals we are here at TS4Ms.

Let's do it AGAIN!

Queens works for me.

( PS Avery next time we will go to the dive. )

I'm home, hopped an earlier bus that only went as far as DC Chinatown, so then had to catch the DC Metro back to my car. Glad to have met everyone, thanks for the chocolates Ken & Josie, thanks for the cigars Big Frank.

It was so great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Thank you Spence and Frank for treating us to lunch. That was so very nice of the two of you.

I learned many new things, including that Avery is a girl

To Ken and his lovely wife...how thoughtful of you to bring us such a nice treat.

Lawren...well done...thanks for putting this together.
