I thought it might be fun to start a thread where we could share what was on our wish lists for Christmas, and then casually guide our families to the thread...to our posts...and mention "OOh! That would really be nice to have!" You know...drop a few subtle hints. It might be fun to know what everybody is pining for too. Me, I would love to have a FSII. I can't swim that fast, but it would still be fun to have a suit like that. Hope to hear from you! and Merry (early) Christmas!!

Thats what the z4 was for (and now the x3)... working on loaner #3.
What if I already have the porsche?:thhbbb:
Where's the porsche if you're working on loaner #3? I thought porsches were for mid-life crises. ;) Aren't you a little young for that?
I'm putting a nice vacation somewhere warm on my Christmas list. I'm thinking Belize, Turks & Caicos ... The kids can stay home and play with toys while I sit on a beach chair soaking up Vitamin D.

Great idea!! Did that last year (Riviera Maya) and they had to drag me, kicking & screaming, onto the plane to come home.
Where are you going this year Poolraat? Where is Riviera Maya? Sounds quite exotic. Maybe we should all go the Honduras and visit Islandsox ...
This year is Boise Idaho to spend Christmas with my oldest and her children.
Riviera Maya is south of Cancun.

I went to Barbados last year. I suffer from post-vacation depression when I go back to work after a long relaxing vacation. Takes about two weeks to recover. Where are you going this year Poolraat?

Green Goblin,
By all means, come to the island of Roatan, north of mainland Honduras. A 2 hour flight from Miami, 2-1/2 hrs from Houston or Atlanta.
Turquoise water, bikinis, lots of buffed island guys to look at. And I could take you to my "swimming hole" where I train and you can all see the beautiful fish: Tsang fish (schools of 50 and they look like purple velvet); the beautiful Parrot fish and many others.
And if it is a clear sunset, you might see that Green Flash that happens right as the sun sinks!!!
I'm here, come on down.

Is this a group invite?
Do you have a good barbeque grill?
Of course it is an open invitation to anyone and we are civilized, we have a Weber but be prepared to eat only chicken and fish; that's about it. And wait until you try the MonkeyLaLa's (an island cocktail); blow your head off.

Solar and I are wishing to win the lottery so we can meet all our USMS forum mates.
I wish George and Frank Thompson would write books memorializing the thoughts in their encyclopediac brains so I could put those books on my xmas list.
Also, so that he can laugh at/recognize my obscure quotes, I would ask Santa to give Terry Laughlin the following book Haunts of The Black Masseur: The Swimmer As Hero.
MonkeyLaLa:
equal parts: Vodka, Dark Rum, Light Rum, Baileys, Coconut Milk, splash of Pineapple and a splash of Grand Mariner. Mix in a blender with ice and tell your grandma it's eggnog, Island Style.
After two of these, you have no head to blow off.
There's also the Jamaica-me-crazy rum punch; 6 different rums, cranberry, apple, pineapple, orange vodka, swirl Grand Marnier on top.
You won't swim the next day after these two, guaranteed!!!:thhbbb:
