MET ANOTHER NOMAD TODAY
Permalink  

I haven't met a Nomad yet that I haven't liked and it was really nice to meet Blaze and Mrs. Blaze this afternoon.  Happy hour extended into dinner at the local chinese in Somerset and the conversation was non stop.

Thanks for the company you guys.  Hope to catch up again before you head back over West again.

That happens all the time. It's a wonderful experience to meet a forum friend in person and discover they are just as nice as their postings. Maybe nicer than the image they portray on the forum.
This forum is a great "introducer" to fellow travellers. I always feel like I already know them.
I hope I give the same impression when people meet me.

Have met a few gn's - and they are all wonderful people - Ma and Blue, Beth, Pam (Travel Bug), Norma (Shadyandme), Helen (Esmeralda) Chris (Cruising Granny) and Billeeeee!
On meeting felt that I had known them already. Hope to meet a lot more along the way. This site is full of happy, friendly people.

I agree, I turned up at Greens lake at happy hour, stuck my head around the corner and asked if I was on the right place. I did recognize 1 face from the forum. I was welcomed with open arms and invited to bring my chair n glass. It all flowed from there. I had a lovely few days talking, laughing, singing n dancing. Looking forward to more of it... I do hope the dancing has continued ????
See you all out there again soon.
Tess
