Cruising with my sister...

Thank you, it was a wonderful trip and fun to run into a very old friend.

It was awesome, loved every moment.

I don't even remember my classmates anymore, I wouldn't recognize them either.

We were at all the stops for a day and were told when we needed to be back on the ship. The sites were awesome.

@rebelann we didn't recognize each other and I will be looking him up in the yearbook to find him as a young man, the one I knew...

I did stay in touch with a very few, this one caught me by surprise. What are the odds of sitting on a plane with hundreds of people and find out you went to school with the guy sitting next to you...iM going home today and the first thing I will do is find my yearbook to see his young face to remember him from back then...

@PainsOnSlate that aint too bad a drive :) hope ya didn't hit any rough traffic, hon. i'm gigglin' o'er ya huntin' that yearbook down. some folks seem to change most drastically o'er the years, lol.

@crazyhorseladycx I'm home, safely and an easy drive, no rain, no masses of traffic. It was good to sleep in my own bed again. I was 17 in my yearbook, now I'm 71...talk about aging....

My last part of the trip is to drive home to Canada. I should be on the road in an hour or so. It is a 4 to 5 hour trip depending on traffic. It should be easy today. Gotta find my yearbook from 1963 and see what George looked like as a kid. I know who his wife is, I recognized the name but I'm lost on who George was...

It was a surprise, that’s For sure. I’m glad he was chatty, otherwise I would have know him.

@Hannihar e-mail...he lives in California, he married a good friend of mine and I don't imagine I will ever see him again. Although he said they often visit where we grew up, I visit home every summer...

@PainsOnSlate So do you keep in touch with PaintsOnSlate.

@PainsOnSlate thanks! When you seem in your senior yearbook, it bring back memories. It's nice to see friends you haven't been in touch with for a long time. However, are you still in contact with some of your friends?

We had an adventure, it was wonderful, I hope you get to travel soon, when I get home I will get my senior year book to figure who he was at 18 , since we're 70 now...

And a waste of time, there is always interesting things going on the ship.

It was a blast and I want to go again, the views was wonderful. Amazing that i sat next too an old friend I didn't recognize.

as soon as find my yearbook I know I will remember him, Our class was a small one. Still working too hard to take the time to find it...

@PainsOnSlate Sorry you have a bad cold Marilyn, hope you recover soon.

I still haven't found my yearbook but haven't been looking yet, I think its in a trunk in the basement, Came home with a cold and I'm being a baby about it. I didn't have enough ColdEze with me on the ship to kill it at the beginning so I got it bad... Pitty party going on...My sister bought an hour for around a hundred dollars, Just to stay in touch with her husband because he is not well but it didn't work for her. She got to speak with him once and forgot to shut the wifi off so it was used up with nothing. They did finally give her minutes back but it was too late.

@jaboUK Thanks. every day I feel a bit better, I am mending now...

@PainsOnSlate oohhh yes..., that will be fun to do...

I can't wait to get home and look at my senior yearbook to see who he was, we talked about our friends and both knew many of them I can't see what he looked like 50 years ago as a kid.

You are right, today we miss those things we use too much like I pads, computers, cell phones...on the last day my sister asked their tech guy why she didn't get to use her expensive WIFI' he checker her cell phone and discovered she did make one call and forgot to turn off the wifi so she had nothing left, he gave her her Minutes back and she worked hard to use them up... Our class was a total of 83 graduating in 1963. Today the graduating class is in the thousands. We were in a central school, all country kids and some small towns too in the rural area I grew up in.everyone was bussed daily to school, our classes were around 25 to 30 per class., in high school there were many options of courses to take with many teachers.. The only time we were all together (all 83 of us) was official class meeting, class trips on several buses, and class parties. I'm glad you asked. The year we moved from the city to the rural community was the year the one room school with one teacher ( probably 50 to 75 schools) were closed and the brand new huge central school was opened and we got to meet everyone....the school had elementary, junior high and high school.

@PainsOnSlate thanks for clearing this up,could not get my head around the idea of 80 kids stuffed in one room,pure horror.

My hap felt good, will be emailing with my old school buddy.

@PainsOnSlate Oh cool..have fun :)

It was fun, both the trip and running into an old friend, can't wait , will get home today and find ny yearbook to see which friend he was. I know his wife was a good friend, I recognized her name...

Nor a chance he is my age now, 70, and when we knew each other we were 17 or 18....I'm glad he asked the right questions, he still visits a friend of both of us, a nice man I used to date, but haven't seen in 50 years...maybe next year.

It was wonderful, looking forward of doing another...

It was awesome, something I am happy to have seen...

It was so interesting and that flight went very fast.

This old friend lives in Calfornia, we were school buddies in upstate New York, we were both visiting friends and family there and got on aplane to the west coast...and then get put together on the plane..so surprising , it certainly made the trip shorter.
