Great time at MOTM.....it was nice hanging out with all of you!

Z-Man - thanks for my first rum and coke! :D

Christine - as always, great time!

KK - it was great meeting you and your daughter!

Doc & Jeanie - nice seeing you - but too short!

I know I was introduced to others at the Z Ranch but I had a Margarita fog, followed by a rum fog....sorry!

Listened to John Frinzi CD all the way back to FLL - just beautiful!

Tropic Al - sorry I missed you - and more importantly missed your keet singing with John! I can't view your video - hopefully you will be able to get it up on you tube!

Christa/Cheetogyrl - So good to see you and your mom, girlie! Wish we could have have hung out together more. Between you and us though, I think we kept Todd/Finsup81 on his toes. LOL

A HUGE thank you to all the TropRock Artists as well for sharing their wonderful, beautiful music and making the past week a very enjoyable one.

And lastly, though she won't see this, I want to thank my daughter. Mainly for putting up with such a crazy mom and never complaining and for wanting to take this trip with me. I initially wasn't going to go this year, until she approached me and said she wanted to go with me. When I told her that I wasn't planning on going, she twisted my arm and made me do it ... :wink: But seriously, little did I realize at that time, how badly I was going to need this trip. It was a great trip, even though there was a lot on my mind, it was truly 'good for the soul'. Okay..I need to stop.

Love to all!!! HUGS to all!!!!! and thank you to all!!!!

You must take Quint's tour. He lets BNers sing "Woman Going Crazy on Caroline Street" when the tour reaches Caroline Street. Maybe this should be moved to the MOTM 2010 thread. :D

What a fun trip and such a blur. It was nice to see some and meet some of you,albeit very briefly. I missed the El Siboney lunch but finaly had a great breakfast at Blue Heaven.The couple we took for their first time had a fantastic time.
If it looked like I hadn't shaved it was because my electric razor was in 8 pieces from baggage handling but was able to salvage it when I got home.
Don't know when we'll get back that way again but everyone have a safe and warm winter.

Wow, how can anyone follow what KK said, I'll try....

Tom and Deb, nice to have family as friends too, great rooming with ya. Thanks for the rides and helping me get around.

KK & Steph, you have such a beautiful daughter, she reminded me a lot of you, KK. I just love you to pieces, and I'll be at pardi-gras, no worries. I couldn't take not seeing you either until July. You are a truly beautiful spirit, and I'm proud to know you.

Marty & Mo, I feel like I have known you my whole life, you are great peeps, and I can't wait to see you again.

Christine & Michelle, love ya girlies.. had so much fun partying with you guys again this year.

Todd Finsup81, Sonny boy, well, you know how I feel about you, Love ya, Momma lol.... Your crazy boy, lol.

Katie, good to meet ya. Christa and Mom, good to meet you guys as well. Hope to see you again soon.

Char and Mike, thanks for the ride and yes, it was way to brief, next year let's do a lunch or something.

Debbie and Barb, love you girls to pieces, always a pleasure. The wrong name night was a riot.

Stu and Barry, had fun with you guys. The gumbo night, still laughing about that. Stu, you look great, so good to see ya.

Renee, Tami, Al, Z and Jim, great seeing you guys. Almost great to get a photo of you, too, :roll:
I came home with about 10 of Renee's business cards, anyone need a realtor, lol.

Linda and Bob, just saw you for a few minutes, wish it could have been longer. Thanks for the list :)

Todd and Erin, so good to see you guys again, we should all do a cruise next year again.

Steve, great to see you, consider our spring phling, it would be a lot of fun.

Zman and Lacey, thanks for opening your "home" to us again, you never cease to amaze me with your generosity and hospitality. Be careful with those mango things, they sneak up on ya, lol. Ask Tom and Deb about that night at dinner, lol.

Sean and Nana babe, great to see you guys again.

Tom, thanks for the list and great to meet ya in KW.

Silverbetty, nice to meet you as well.

Greg, we never had a chance to say hi :(

Thanks for all the hard work Char, and also all the entertainment, trop rockers, rockers and coral reefers, just great. Peter's beatles show was one of the highlights of our week.

My phillies lost, so it was good to be there listening to Peter and being in KW, took a little sting out of it :) :) :)

Can't wait till next year, and I still didn't get to El Siboney :( , there's still hope for next year. We barely made the plane, so it was a good thing we didn't go there.

I could barely hold the camera still, I was so nervous. G wasn't phased one bit.
She was able to play 7 more times during the week but this was the best video. Frinzi even brought her up on Saturday night @ The Hog's. Now that was an evening! :D
