Sky Sweet Posted March 12, 2006 #26 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Can't say that I've run into anyone I've known as a kid on any message boards, Sky Sweet.Anita Maybe one day you will be lucky enough to have that experience, because reconnecting with a childhood friend is one of the best things that can happen on a message board. As one of my favorite singers once said, "Old friends are better than new ones because they can see where you are, and they know where you've been" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising with marti Posted March 12, 2006 #27 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I'm flying from S Georgia to LA to have dinner with this bunch and I had to cancel the cruise!! Do I get something for the longest flight to get there and no Hawaii? Char and I have met for lunch in Gainseville, remember, Char? But, gee, when I say, 'I'm coming your way' most people stop posting and I can never find them. I wonder why... Gail, you will get a kiss from me, how awesome will that be? :o Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karynanne Posted March 12, 2006 #28 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Gail, big hugs from me! We're going to be so busy chatting, that who is going to have time eating! Karyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Sweet Posted March 12, 2006 #29 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Years ago we had a very large group of friends that all attended CAL football games together...As we all moved to various parts of the country, we would meet once a year for our "Football Reunion". Now it's only once every 3-4 years. Karyn (Karynanne) Football messages boards are another great way to reconnect with college friends that you have lost touch with. Then you can plan to take a cruise together on a ship that has a sports bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuggers Posted March 12, 2006 #33 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Phil and KA, I am looking forward to that! Now can we get back on track? This is a wonderful thread that Garry started asking an interesting question. I am enjoying the answers. But not the hijacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shonuf Posted March 12, 2006 #37 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Does it count if we meet them in a third city? Since there are not a lot of ports in the Mohave, we don't often get a chance to meet cruisers here, although we are planning on meeting up with you all in Long Beach ("you all", that's Southern for "all of you", right Garry?) Susan Sorry, Susan but where I'm from the proper phrase is "y'all" not "you all". As in: "Bubba and Junior, y'all get in here and eat your dinner afore I throw it to the dawgs." Back to the original post, we met up with about a dozen of our roll call members the night prior to the cruise in San Diego. Some for drinks, some for dinner. We so enjoyed meeting everyone and had friends before we ever got on board. The gatherings continued through the week. As we are all residents of different states, I don't know when I'll see any of them again but would love to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuggers Posted March 12, 2006 #39 Share Posted March 12, 2006 If you want to be correct, unless it's the middle of the day, it's supper! I can certainly stay for brunch. I'm driving down to San Diego so in no great hurry to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safein Posted March 12, 2006 #40 Share Posted March 12, 2006 One advantage about being at a port city, I can try to get together with any friends from the cruise boards who will be sailing out of either NYC or Cape Liberty. Would love to meet up with some friends from these boards who are sailing on the Connie transatlantic. Maybe one of them can find a way of packing me in a suitcase so I could sail too! :p Anita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karynanne Posted March 12, 2006 #41 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Anita, I'd love to meet you before our cruise next month...but we're arriving 9p.m. the night before. Now as for "stowing away" in our luggage...good grief, I'm still figuring out how to keep our luggage at 50# per bag! Karyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ships R Great Posted March 12, 2006 #43 Share Posted March 12, 2006 We set up a "meet, greet, and dine" in Jacksonville before a Zenith cruise is 2004. There were about 16 (?) of us. Lois came along even tho she wasn't cruising that trip. We had a grand time and continued to during the cruise. We even helped one of our couples get married! They had a lovely sunset wedding on the beach. Wish Zenith still sailed out of Jax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted March 12, 2006 #44 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Char If I get a good photo of a whale, I just hope Garry doesn't try and take credit for it, like she did last Sept on our Alaska cruise:D :D :D Phil I've just posted an unusual picture of a breeching humpback on another forum. It's underbelly is facing the camera! It was taken at Icy Strait Point. Now back to the topic at hand, the meeting and getting together prior to sailaway gives the whole cruise experience a new level of enjoyment. I highly recommend the pre-meeting if you can swing it.

tuggers Posted March 12, 2006 #47 Share Posted March 12, 2006 And, Char, it's a spectacular picture, too! Ships, we really did enjoy the Z out of Jax didn't we? Now I have about 5 booked b2b out of Tampa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
