i can see it now...carol rounding a corner on rollerskates delivering a plate of phad thai

Bob... tsk tsk... don't you have jetlag or something!!?? :)

CS, jetlag is hardly a detterent to Bob's fertile imagination! (Now that I stop to think of it, it may be fuel to the fire, so to speak.)

Puttaka, please attend, you will have a great time, I can vouch for it!

Hi: I'll be at the Saturday lunch event at the Indigo Hotel. Thanks!

Bob can you make room for one more? I am sending my father to keep the panda company.....

we have plenty of room for him, but tell him not to pay the airlines extra baggage fee for the coffin

city-- i have added you to the list, thanks...look forward to meeting you

still looking for more participants and several regulars have still to respond???

GOOD NEWS THE PRICE OF THE LUNCHEON HAS BEEN REDUCED TO $30, so that means lots more of you can sign up...

Come on guys...If I can come all the way from Honolulu VIa tokyo, you can make it from DC or wherever!!

Beth and I are coming back from China just for the GTG. Latecomers will not have to sit next to Bob.

looking for a few more victums to gpanda's stories

Starting to pack today, as I leave very early Wednesday AM for MHT for a couple of days, before the GTGs start.

Looking forward to seeing everyone once again! It's such a treat to meet more fodorites and put a face and name together.

Carol

Smeagol, then we will just have to drink a toast to you and Muffin! I wish you could both attend, too.

Kup khun krup

Citywalks, yes!

Iv Mimi needs a ride home Friday night, I'll be more than happy to drive her.

How about pickup?

Oh, no!

I was so looking forward to meeting her!

Hope she's doing fine!

How about Saturday night? :)

this is the last chance to be added to the saturday GTG rolls as i have to guarantee the numbers monday....

Sorry Bob, we won't be able to make it this year. Our daughter is due to deliver any day now. First grandson coming up! Very exciting.

Y'll have a great time, ya hear, at the GTG. Enjoy.

mag--we will miss you but expect to see you some future year...

congrats on the baby

THANKS EASYTRAVELLER, I'll be at the lunch. Hope you will
be there.

Hi,

I wrote "rhkkmk" earlier this week about attending the GTG on Saturday. My husband and I were in France recently and we just got unburied. We'd love to attend the GTG and haven't heard if we can come on short notice. Can anyone help? Thanks, Margie

Margie-you're more than welcome to attend. The events are:

Fri. night dinner-Indian-Arlington
Sat. aft. lunch-american-newton
sat. night dinner-Thai-Cambridge

You can contact me at [email protected]

or Bob at [email protected]

Thanks. I tried emailing you twice and it bounced. However, please note that Larry and Margie krakauer will be coming to the Saturday luncheon.

margie you are all set....i just called the hotel and let them know to increase our numbers...

looks like we will be 30 for lunch on saturday

Does Panda count as two since he's twice as exasperating as anyone else there???

BC

no, 1/2

Have fun, you crazy kids!

David and I will be thinking of you and sending our best from DC.

Best of luck--I'm sure it'll be a total success. Just don't envy the person who becomes official GTG Treasurer.

FW and David will be missed, but the GTG must go on. Chez Panda is being disinfected as we speak.

off top the airport in a few minutes to pick up the first arrival....well actually the 2nd as carol arrived yesterday

Looking forward to seeing old friends and new ones too on Saturday at Lunch!!!!

Jeff, happy you are going and to see you again. I wanted to email you where I could buy the cigale curtains, but your email bounced. Hope everyone has their shots in case bitten by the panda :)
