Home, Exhausted, With BATWiT Memories

[ftwildernessguy]

Well, we got home today about 3:45 in the afternoon. This vacation will go down as one of the best we have had, despite staying offsite (although the Wyndham Cypress Palms is a most excellent resort and I would recommend it highly). Before I pass out, I wanted to thank everybody who came to BATWiT. I had a really great time with some truly wonderful people that I have come to know cyberly and now have had the honor and privelege of meeting in person, and we got to taste some pretty good brews, too. I would like to apologize to those families who had the misfortune of finding themselves riding with us on the boats in Mexico, especially to those in John's boat who ended up treading water. I would also like to apologize to those who were dining as we passed by shouting whatever Spanish words we knew. We were just trying to add to the ambiance. Thanks to Donald for stepping in for the picture after Jasmine refused to pose with us. Honest to God, I thought that was a plush Mickey I was pinching. Bobby says I can go back to Epcot in 6 months. So, when do we start planning next year's trip?

Glad to hear you had a wonderful trip and a safe return home.

Hopefully you make this an annual event.
We won't be able to make it for Halloween until 2012.

Jim it sure sounds like you had a great time and made some wonderful memories.
Maybe after you've gotten some rest you can post some pics?...I'd love to see more of the best grand gathering ever!

Glad to see those from the GG makin' it back home. Those of us who were not privileged enough to go have missed ya'll around here. I'm glad everyone had a great time!

If you come home exhausted then you did the vacation right. Here's to many more BATWIT's. Gotta have more, I want to be in one.

Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound. It was great talking to you on the phone, but it sure would have made my day to be able to meet you in person! The BATWiT pics I've seen so far look like everyone had a fabulous time, I'm so bummed I missed it. Is there such a thing as BAG (beers around Gettysburg)? Just wondering, lol.

Glad you are home safely..the pics on Face book are great.. Looks like an awesome time...

I'm with Karla, a BAG (beers around Gettysburg) sounds great!!

I saw a few photos and looks like everyone had a good time. Who posted bail?

I had a blast and I am so fortunate to finally meet FWGuy after missing him three past times! (All I found were crocs on the porch)

Oh, and I have to forward my apologies as well to people dining in Mexico. I said everything in spanish I could remember to help.....

Casa de Pepe.

Donde esta casa de Pepe?

Now I'm out of Spanish. All those hours listening to stand-up comics pays off sometimes, huh?

 

[AuburnJen92]

I am surprised that we didn't get food thrown at us....although it would have been fun to throw it back!

Taco, burrito, pina colada, si. Ok...that's it for me.

Jimbo, it was a true pleasure to finally meet you, and I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work planning our batwit fun! I hope we get to do it again this summer a little closer to home.

 

[We4mickey]

We had a blast that day. Thanks for getting it all organized Jim. Hopefully, next year you will be camping again.

 

[PolynesianPixie]

It really was fabulous to finally meet you in person, Jim! As for Mexico...welll, I think we just added a little more excitement!

I am all for BAGs now! ROFL

Jim you did a great job organizing our cruise to Mexico and I see no reason that you/we should apologize. and let's remember our motto for next year...."we're a drinking group with a camping problem"
