An email I can share:

Dear Roy,

Thank you very much for your kind words.

It was a pleasure to host you all at Quinta do Crasto for one day.

I will pass your message to Tomás, Susanna and Dominic.

I will let you know when I happen to be in Seattle in the near future.

Please pass my warmest regards to the Port lovers group.

Cheers,

Miguel

I am still hoping to receive CDs from attendees that have solid videos of the lagar action or any other from the trip?

What say you gents?

Hold onto your hats!

This was fun to read over. This evening I just spoke to one serious Port lover who for some reason never posts here, yet is dying to come along on the tour in Oct. 2007.

I will know by the beginning of the week. That will leave one more spot for this year's trip. Who will be the lucky individual?

As I would like to continue to encourage couples, I will bend the rules and add an extra person if the two of you decide to come along

As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, a foursome had to take a last minute pass on the trip due to somplications with one of the wive's work schedules. Fortunately, a spot was almost immediately filled and one other couple is going to let us know this week. Regardless, we have the numbers to make the journey and I can't wait for this one.

Should be quite exciting given the big names. Quite a few FTLOP Forum members are participating this year, although only a few are names that would be recognized. :shock:
