[amy417]

Well...lurk away. I hope all is well with you and your family.

[amy417]

So once again it is ME keeping this thread on the front page. tsk..tsk.tsk

 

OK everyone send your pics to me so that I can post your gorgeous faces. My email is below. BTW does anyone have a chumley head count yet. (I just crack myself up:p ) How many bears are sailing.

 

I am soooo looking forward to this cruise. I will need all three weeks to get back to normal.

[JerseyGuys]

I think the Chumley count is about 250. I'm having dinner with a group here in Philadelphia and get a head count...It's getting close....P

[amy417]

So did you get a final count?

 

Only 5 weeks to go!

[bbenson]

no exact count amy but it should be about 200 maybe 250 give or take

[JerseyGuys]

I thinks its closer to the 250...good size group

[amy417]

Hi Guys!!!

 

Brian welcome back.

 

This one is just for you all!

 

There were two nuns...

 

One of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM),

and the other one was known as Sister Logical (SL).

 

It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent.

 

SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for

the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants.

 

SL: It's logical. He wants to molest us.

 

SM Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes

at the most! What can we do?

 

SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster.

 

SM: It's not working.

 

SL: Of course it's not working. The man did the only

logical thing. He started to walk faster, too.

 

SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute.

 

SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I'll go this way. He cannot follow us both.

 

So the man decided to follow Sister Logical.

 

Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is

worried about what has happened to Sister Logical.

 

Then Sister Logical arrives

 

SM:Sister Logical! Thank God you are here!

Tell me what happened!

 

SL: The only logical thing happened.

The man couldn't follow us both, so he followed me

 

SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?

 

SL: The only logical thing happened. I started to run

as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could.

 

SM: And?

 

SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me

 

SM: Oh, dear! What did you do?

 

SL: The only logical thing to do. I lifted my dress up.

 

SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?

 

SL: The only logical thing to do. He pulled down his pants.

 

SM: Oh, no! What happened then?

 

SL: Isn't it logical, Sister?

A nun with her dress up can run faster than man with his pants down.

 

And for those of you who thought it would be dirty,

 

I'll pray for you

I thought so too but, I looked on the yahoo group and it's membership is like 168...but I guess if you have 1 membership for the couples that should actually work out to 250-300ish instead of 200-250ish.

[JerseyGuys]

Yeah I went to Dinner with Chumley and the Philadelphia guys on Saturday and he confirmed its close to 250.........

[bbenson]

well thats good. I know it's not the 400 that was wanted/expected but, should be a good crowd

[djzack67]

Less then a month to go , I'm so ready.

[bbenson]

I'm right there with ya!!

 

Brian

[djzack67]

Whoot, Got all the travel vouchers in the mail today. Its getting closer.

[djzack67]

Is it a bad thing if i'm already starting to pack?

[bbenson]

Nope!! not bad at all! I already started shopping for the stuff I'm going to pack so, right there with ya!

[rick212]

Hello, All!

 

Well, returned from Hawaii and this is the first chance I've had to post.

 

My trip was incredible! Weather was beautiful and I was able to manage lots of diving.

 

Hard to get back into the office routine - but the upcoming cruise helps! :D

 

I'd be packing, too, but most of my stuff isn't back from the cleaners, yet. :eek:

 

Rick

[reli]

Welcom back... Glad you had a great time on your trip !!

[reli]

I got the transfer from the Hotel to the ship also..

DH Roger's going to email you ... he was intrigued about the Churchill's cigar/poker night!

[rick212]

Hi, Brian & Randy!

 

Thanks for the welcome back!

 

Do you guys have any suggestions regarding the night life in San Juan other than what I find on the Internet?

 

I'm only gonna be there Saturday, but I wanted to get the vacation started ASAP.

 

Rick

Ok Judy! Just tell him to put something in the subject box that will catch my attention...

 

Rick, honestly I have no idea on the SJ nightlife. From what I can tell there's one or two dance type bars there and everything else is like a small closeted town in the midwest ( or south) where everything is hyper macho and always on the DL. Sort of disappointing. I was expecting more Fort Lauderdale / Key West / South Beach and instead it looks more like Shreveport / Memphis / Little Rock even!! I'm hoping I'm wrong and it's more fun than it seems.

 

Brian

Hello again everyone !

 

Hey Brian.. don't worry about catching the bus.. I'll make sure you're on it one way or another. At least we'll have three trys..

 

Hey Rick.. Brian is pretty much right about the nightlife. I've stayed down there a couple of times for a long weekend so kinda familiar with the area. Always stay in the Condodo District. I saw that you were staying in OSJ. Not anything there that I know of nightlife wise, but there are a couple of GF restaurants that are really good. If you find the taxi stand by the park, it should be pretty close to where you are staying, and walk up the hill, the streets on the left are like restaurant row. The nightlife is in the "industrial district" between OSJ and the Condodo District, a couple of places there but you need to do it by cab because of distance and safety. There are two or three places in the Condodo. I won't mention names, but at one of them is in a basement on a side street and I would just drink the bottled beer and then only after wiping the neck. The other place, has a pretty good afternoon crowd, by the water, but it's dead at night. The third place, is in a hotel/casino and mixed. Again, if you were going to the Condodo you would also need to do it by cab from OSJ. Sorry the news isn't better...

[rick212]

Hi, Randy and Brian!

 

Thanks for all the information, or lack thereof. I've always had fun in straight bars, and it appears that is where I'll probably end up. :D I'm just not spending Saturday night in my hotel!

 

Randy, I might try that restaurant row area you mentioned.

 

I remember someone told me about this bar that is right on the beach and attached to, or maybe actually part of, a hotel (gay). Do either of you guys know about this one? I can't seem to find any mention about it on the Internet. God knows, with my luck, if it is still around it'll be an hour cab ride. :eek:
