Icon6 *T*H*E*****2016***T*R*F***GTG**thread***

Dear TRF family:

First of all...WOW! Here we are, a few days away from yet another AMAZING GTG!!!! This year, I had considered a large group yet inquires surpassed all expectations. I do not know if this will be the largest GTG, but I can assure you that it will be fun!

To everyone who signed up, thank you! Gracias as well to Steve, Mark and Danny, I have spoken to you more than to my family during the last months. And a very special THANK YOU to my family, for letting me take this incredible journey! Love you!

To all TRF members: this officially starts the 2016 TRF GTG, all of us will post comments and pictures daily, so please check this page frequently. I expect a lot of material to be posted from today and until next Monday.

To all attendees, thank you for your time and effort, see you Friday (ok, some on Thursday )

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

I am so excited and I have so many expectations. I have been a member of this family for 7 years and never thought I could be part of something as amazing as this GTG. Thank you everyone for this opportunity. Thank you Gerardo and thanks to your family for sharing you with us.

By the way... How could I not know about Pacquiao vs. Bradley 3? As my friend Stallone says here in Mexico: "TE HACE FALTA VER MAS BAX"

This is Vegas. Want it? It CAN be done. It comes with a hefty price tag, but can be done.

Thank you, G for putting this GTG together. I've been to others, but this promises to be the best yet.

As I wrap up things here, I wonder....IS IT SAFE to write using a Vegas pen with my Rolex on?
