Announcing a VERY emotional GTG
Dear TRF family:
Back in the early 90's, when I got hooked into Rolex, my knowledge (and several incomings) happened in a place I still visit frequently, taking you along via this amazing forum, a place that is almost my second home. After years of gatherings, I am proud to confirm a GTG in McAllen, TX for late Jan '17 Yes, McAllen does have a Rolex AD, fantastic boutique restaurants, a perfect cigar lounge and is a short drive from the beach. To me, this is a unique opportunity to share with my virtual family a small part of my life. Please do consider that GTGs involve a lot of planning and related expenses, I hope we can have a nice group confirmed. |

G,
I have subscribed. I am eager to participate in one of these GTG's but I unfortunately cannot pull off Vegas in 2017... McAllen seems like an interesting place "City of Palms" Also curious, anything going on in Reynosa? Once again, thank you for putting these together and thank you for being such an immense part of this community! Also, please let me know if I can be of any feasible assistance.

Hola Carlos! McAllen is a border city that has evolved a LOT (trust me, I have visited for decades) with plenty of activity...and a few miles away from the beach.
As far as specific plans (Reynosa, Harlingen, Brownsville, So. Padre...) a lot of things can be arranged; I hope we can have a nice group. As always, with one confirmation, I am IN! |

Mia-Dfw-Mfe works doesn't Gerardo ? I think a regional from Dfw goes there. I think I'll be ready for a warm up to the GTG here at home in Nevada for April. Depending on schedule and dates could work.

Do you have specific date(s) in mind, G? Pick the right date(s) and I may be able to make it.
