Traveling with friends can be the perfect storm either way, a disaster or a triumph. With Tom, Charmaine, Jack, Linda, Dean, and I, it has been the best of times. We’ve shared day trips ashore, had parties, dinners, celebrations, toasts, and even formed our own “Flatlanders” trivia team to test our collective knowledge of useless facts. We’ve done things separately and together and more importantly, known the difference between when to do each…packing all the fun we could into seventeen days together.
We even celebrated our hometown with BBQ they brought onboard in L.A….all the way from Jack Stack’s, and had a “tasting” party for our new shipboard friends to show off Kansas City’s culinary pride.
To loosely reference the proverbial “desert island analogy”, I can’t think of anything more fun or agreeable than to be the victim of this perfect storm, stranded with these people on this floating, but luxurious, island.
OK!!
Loved it … let’s do it again!
