From my Feb. 11---Feb. 21 trip:

Wolfgang turned me on to Don Ursulo for cigars. Excellent and cost effective from the less expensive to the more expensive. PM me for contact data as he's right in San Jose and very familiar with CRT, etc.

Western: Great Guy

GatorMitch: Not knowing me from Adam, he responded to my plea for Duty Free Scotch and brought me some as he arrived after I did. I like to keep my money and he sure helped!

A handful of others who were all staying at the Castillo. Didn't pay much attention to the CRT "handle". Sorry.

Was at the "happy hour" at SL and it was packed, if not a bit "cliquish" for those who consider themselves the "heavy hitters" within the CRT group. Boy, those coiffed hair cuts!

Hotel Castillo is nothing but super friendly; great value; clean; top notch management, etc., etc., etc.

Thanks for all the data on the message board. Planning a month or longer stay for the next run in another month or two.

All the guys that met me and could handle the jive, stay in touch!

"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand."
