Dinner Meetings: Sunday Aug 22 & Tuesday Aug 24 - Interested...?

[DandyDon]

No can do. I am on my way home!

You were late arriving; be late returning...

Or just make Sunday work.

I can only hope that the airline cancels my flight home....after all they owe me a day from their cancelation of my flight down.

Before I lose count...

Sunday...

• Don & bud Jer
• Merfman & Jen
• macado
• suprane
• 84turboz

Tuesday...

• Don & bud Jer
• 84turboz
• Texas Torpedo and "date"?

I can only hope that the airline cancels my flight home....after all they owe me a day from their cancelation of my flight down.

Call them and tell them that. Since they got you there late, they should allow free change.

A few on the August thread have asked about group suppers (farmer lingo) and it's seemed like we all are waiting for someone else to take the lead, and then someone asked me to again. "No good deed goes unpunished," but what's the worst that could happen to me this time? :laughing: Oh well, come if you're interested, as the food & folks will be good still I'm sure - and anything that goes wrong can be blamed on me ok. I'm good for it, except 2007 Hurricane Dean was not my fault I promise...!


Sunday is Aug 22, right...?

7pm - Sonora Grill is upstairs at 15th & Benito Juarez (not the one listed in the Occ Grand hotel), a lovely & spacious restaurant with good food. Bring your cameras and get pics by the lovely copper hood...

...then after dinner you may want to stroll over to the nearby main plaza for the weekly music, dancing, and more.

I'll ask my dive Op to help set up reservations, but I've never seen it busy other than for our gatherings. I arrive on the 21st so cam also make my own confirmation calls. How many should I ask to seat together...?


Tuesday - Aug 24...

7pm - Wet Wendy's or whenever you get there. Their web site needs work like most there, but they feature "the best margaritas, chile rellenos and burritos in the Yucatan." Here are the directions from their site...

1. If taking taxi

* Ask how much is it to 2nd street and 5th Avenue (cuanto cuesta para Calle dos con Avenida cinco?)
* If he asks where you are going just repeat the address because he's going to try and take you somewhere else.
* If he says anything more than 8 dollars, look pissed, close the door and see if he settles on the 'right' price. *
* Do not get in the cab until you have settled the price. Do not tip him, unless the A/C is on, the car doesn't stink and he takes you to the address.
* You will know you have arrived because there is a convenient store (modern) on the corner called "OXXO".
* Get out of the taxi and look down 5th (it's the walking street, since you are on a corner, you have four choices, it's the only one without cars)
* If it's after 10:45 in the morning, you will see a bunch of trinket stores, a bank and US (Three tan, canvas umbrellas over green tables in front of our bar).
* Proceed South towards the bar and annoy me by asking for a dollar corona.
* Drink heavily

* Well, the taxi fare will vary with different origins, but it does seem to be on 5th Ave between B.Juarez and 2nd St north. I don't know how big it is so let me know if you're planning to come, if you can plan that far out, and we'll see what we can do.


Thursday - Aug 26...

Well, if you're going to be around Chichen Itza that evening, let me know.

Hi cmex, I don't think so. The focus is to meet people we've already encountered here on SB, but you are welcome to come, write it up, whatever...?

 

[Texas Torpedo]

Add me as a definite for Wet Wendy's and a possible for Sonora, as well as my "date"..
We may have a friend (SB Member) and his wife that are flying in this weekend who may also want to join as well. Will try and confirm shortly.

 

[Texas Torpedo]

Wish I could join you guys but somebody has to work.

Priorities.. Priorities.. You really need to get them straight, Bill..

Opal at Scuba Mau reserved our tables at Sonora for us already. I don't need to reserve at Windy's do I?
