Prior to the GTG, there will be a workshop on "Bob baiting". It will cover a wide range of topics including Tank Top wear, the pleasures of Sheratons, boorish behaviour at poolside and my personal favorite, spelling. Breakout sessions will be chaired by Karen and Jack.

Sign me up. But don't you think the session should include a Mariott primer?

Gpanda Jul 13th, 2005 03:59 AM

That's all covered in the handout entitled, "Marriott's I have Loved". The whole purpose of the workshop is to keep Bob from building up a head of steam and dragging us out to Needham for a "tour" of boredom. I do note that the banker has once again insinuated himself into the middle of the financial interaction. Some habits never die.

You can take the banker out of the bank, but you can't take the bank out of the banker (or something like that)

I should be able to make it,will see if LW can come as well-anybody going to bring pics/slides from their trips?

Gpanda Jul 13th, 2005 05:56 AM

Pictures, slides and other artifacts are always welcome, unlike certain unnamed former bankers.

I just visited the Europe forum to see who might be coming to the GTG from that thread. But I couldn't find it! I did a search, and it only pulled up GTG's from the past. I read from it the other day so I know it exists.

carol, if you click on "rhkkmk" on any post - you will bring up all of Bob's threads. The Europe GTG is about #16 right now.

simpsonc510 Jul 14th, 2005 06:17 AM

Yep, I found Europe thread on about page 3 or 4 a while ago. Thanks for the tip on searching for Bob's threads though. I know how to do that, but just didn't think about it, as I thought the GTG thread would be near the top. That Europe forum moves very quickly!

This is very exciting! Nothing much happens in the cornfields of Western Illinois, but now I have something to look forward to! Now I'm trying to convince son (who would be "king" if he were a poster @26 trips to BKK) to come along.

Guenmai Jul 14th, 2005 12:00 PM

Thanks a lot, Bob. I don't want to put out my e-mail address over the internet. But, I've jotted down the information and I'll see what I can do about making it. Happy Travels!
