hey Michael and Christi, Connie and I are trying to get to CSS about the same timeframe as yall. we are big Aggie fans, in fact if we dont get there in July probably miss out due to the season starting and getting kids back to school. Let you know if we can make it. Empty that mini-bar get a Bob Marley shot on the way but go to SSB.

Pat,

It would be great to see Aggie fans on the island I saw on another thread that you are class of '79. I am '99 and Christi is '02. Did you happen to do the Corps? If you can make it in July we would love to meet up with you all. I keep hearing the Dirty Banana and Bob Marleys are great.

Michael

Michael:

Yes I was in the Corps all 4 years. at the time the military wasnt too popular after VN.

Michael and Christi; be careful with the Bob Marley's they make your clothes fall off.

OK...so, maybe I'm not using this thread correctly...David and I just celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary...this is our 3rd trip to Couples, arriving July 30th for six nights...we've been to S resorts 9 times, love Couples, though! We just defer to S when our friends insist on going there! We are first time CSS visitors, other two times were CNN-please, we would love to meet folks, if you will be there July 30th for six nights or there about, please email me...kbeauch@entergy.com

Soon come!

Pat,

I did the corps all 4 years too. Thanks for the warning about the drinks.
