An etiquette question-with the influx of out-of-towners, do Bob and I need to maintain a higher than normal sense of decorum? Will we need to forego the ritual food fight?

Andy, please, not on our account. We're counting on you to provide the entertainment.

Bob is in charge of the entertainment. There will be an after-dinner speech by the manager of the hotel, followed by a time share presentaion for the airport Marriott. During dinner, jewelers and tailors will wander amongst the tables displaying their wares.

Bob and Andy
You guys have me rolling in the aisles! The Boston GTG will be one that is long remembered, I'm sure. Hope we will have video of the event...
Guenmai, I thought IL would be the farthest distance travelled to attend but you have me beat by a long shot. It will be great to meet you and all the other fodorites.

If Bob and I sit at the same table, it will be the "Aisle of Weight".

We're looking forward to conversing in real time. Unfortunately, neither Bob nor I are particularly quick-witted. Some might even say slow.

Bob and I don't want to mislead. Anything remotely humorous from either comes directly from a joke book that we share. Fortunately, it's quite thick and uses only small words. If we're demented, does that mean that at one time we were "mented" and have ceased being in that state? Bob's in Nantucket this weekend with the other movie stars. It's a side of him that he doesn't talk about with us common folk.

I wish I could make it, but it's unlikely at this point. I will be there in spirit (as long you you aren't serving two buck Chuck.)

Kathie-we will miss you. I'd promise a moment of silence to commune with your spirit, but with Bob and I, that is highly unlikely. Maybe you cvould send a picture and we can give it a place at the table.

Kathie, so sorry you can't come. I was looking forward to meeting you and sharing my Borneo adventure with you. Oh well, I guess I'll share on Fodors for you. I promise to bring a bottle of good wine and we'll toast you with it, so keep your spirit in the neighborhood.

Need to save my time/$$$ for Philippines in March. Alas I am but a simple working soul who does not have the deep pockets of the Asia forum regulars!

BillT-why do I suspect that you are not so simple? You will be missed, as will Hobbes. Speaking of which, is this the comic strip Hobbes or he of "Leviathan" fame?

Do I see that you will visit BOTH the HNL and the BOS gtg's?? Lucky you! It will be great meeting you and hearing about all the places you have visited! I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah...Simpson...I'll be at both. I have a plane ticket...as of last Friday. Now I'm just waiting for Bill to throw together a Texas one! Hee...Ha...! By the way, I'm going to be in Texas the weekend before the Boston get together. I'm going to be quite jetlagged!I might be sitting at the table with one eye open and one eye closed...since I'll be on a redeye flight(12:30AM)...after having worked the same day of my departure. Oh, you mentioned something about a dog spa??? I don't know anything about a dog spa...that had to have been someone else. Happy Travels!
