Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~

I have not done it myself, but I've heard that Bare Watching is an experience you will never forget!

Dena, those are two OUTSTANDING xkurchuns (fight seeing and bare watching). Do include Gary and me on the "must do" list.

The list of xkurchuns grows.

I received notice the adventure grocery-kart expedition is a GO. We will learn about the history, culture and economy of Shop-Rite. We will have a 1 hour, non-private expedition through the remote backcountry aisles, where we can see salmon, tuna, shrimp and other aquatic species in an ice-filled environment. Each group spends 30 minutes in this pristine, yet rarely visited, locale.

In addition, our group cleared the waitlist for the paint time trials. Yep, it's hard to believe, but for a lucky few they can watch paint dry!

Don't delay in signing on to these exciting new xkurchuns. No expense has been incurred to bring such remarkable enrichment activities to our growing band of TUSHees.

Cheers, Anne

I'm so confused with all the fabulous xkurchuns that we can choose from. I might just wait until we board and then decide. However, I've heard that there is very limited space on these xkurchuns, I'll just take my chances.

Nancy

Denise, I've decided to sign us up for the B2B so we can take full advantage of everything and not miss out!

For some reason I have been having a problem
with the early buzzered xkurchuns web site. Every time I get on it says all xkurchuns are full. Wait list only. I sure am hoping someone remembered Jan B & I when they signed up and put us down too.

Back to Quenn of Denial, I'm mixed up about who should be queen (sorry Denise). For some reason I thought it was Anne, you know, Queen of de Nile.

Got to go study my xkurchun list. Oh, what the heck, sign me up for everything!

Donna - looks like we have both a Queen of Denial and a Queen of de Nile. Like all aspects of TUSH, the TUSHees will be surrounded by high quality non-passengers and an incredible, all-inclusive non-cruise experience.

If you can swing it, the post TUSH excursion to Denial is not to be missed!

Cheers, Anne

I've arranged several vans to pick us up for the Denial post xhurshun. So, Jim/Jan, not to worry. You are added to the list.

I secured the services of T. Leary (What a) Trip. The vans should be easy to spot - 1960's VW vans with "Peace & Love" and flowers painted on it.

Well finally we have a MUSH'er who is owning up to the fact SHE IS JEALOUS of our non-MUSH/TUSH hyjinx, xkurchons, all inclusive food and drinks, high class entertainment, exclusive van service, the B2B cruise as well as the post trip to Denial! :mecry:

Clay still has every 8 track tape he ever purchased. I'll have them ready to go. ;) I think he must have been going through a Carole King phase when I met him. I'll also furnish the ear plugs. Can't remember the other titles, but it's a suitcase full.

Joanna,

Just call us "Minimalist, low-maintenance, TUSHees." Our slogan is "It's the littlest of things that mean so much."

Karen,

Any chance of locating a Denial cam?

All of you who are jealous of us TUSHees - Please remember that the first step to recovery is admitting you're jealous.

I was MUSHing & now I'm TUSHing. I change cruises more often than anyone I know. I think the new 3 change rule was Regent's way of saying - "Betty, it's time to stop. Pick a cruise & sail."
Although you MUSHers are some of my favorite people, this TUSH group is going to rock. :banana:

Denise - Did T. Leary (What a ) Trip confirm the vans are the VW Vanagons with the pop-up tops? You know - the ones where they are piping in the "used pot" smell. No self-respecting TUSHee would recognize a "new car" smell. This xkurchun is only available if you can TUSH with us.

Keep up the hard work, girlfriend. I am following up this morning on another xkurchun possibility. Keep your fingers crossed the TUSHees can let loose one more time.

Cheers, Anne

Suzie .. Rest assured that TUSH is, indeed, all-inclusive. No extra charge for all these extraordinary TUSH xkurchun experiences.

We spared, and incurred, no expense in arranging for all interested TUSHees to enjoy them from the comfort of their home keyboards.

So .. I'll see you at the Bar-Fly Fishing Watering Hole, okey-dokey? If we see pink elephants at the watering hole, well, it'll be another one of those TUSH bonuses!

Can't wait to do the vocal reprises with you and Ms. Merlot.

Cheers, Anne

Anne, vans are good to go. No new car smell, as these are the original VW vans used during The Summer of Love in SF. In fact, T.Leary assured me that they were never so much as cleaned since 1967.

We're planning on meeting up with you all at the Bar-Fly Fishing Watering Hole. Hopeful for a pink elephant sighting.

Denise - that is fantastic!

I apologize but due to time zone differences, I just received word we have confirmed another xkurchun:

ROLLER DERBY

Join fellow TUSHees manoeuvering hair curlers for outstanding hair style results in artistic and technical categories for EXTRA TUSHee Tokens!

TSA approved hair gel, chiffon scarves and babuskas are permissible for participants. All supplemental supplies must be placed in your non-checked luggage.

Cheers, Anne

Denise - Of course you can be a judge. Would you like to sit to the left or right of Simon?

If you'd REALLY like to participate, two possibilities come to mind:

One: use the Lilt home permanent rods. The end papers come in handy for any number of uses.

Two: hair extensions. Pick 'em up at Walgreens for a pittance. You'll be mahvelous, dahling.

Cheers, Anne

Oh, I'm all twittery, now! I've been saving empty orange juice cans for weeks, hoping Roller Derby would be offered on Tush; my prayers have been answered! I know the competition will be tough with the Sistahs going head-to-head, but I have complete confidence in myself!
