Discussion Ideas for the Next LBS meet up.
OP: September 22, 2019, 04:24:20 AM
So I am only back from Tuscany, and I was totally bummed it was over.

Nothing quiet like finding your 'tribe' and being away with normal super human people to make you miss it before you even leave.

So I am doing what everyone does when they have a massively good time on holiday then go home to figure out what the next one is!

Obviously it might be some time away depending on everyone's needs, and saving up money and such...but I thought maybe even if we just started to throw around some ideas about what our next adventure could be...it would help ease that feeling you know?

So if you got to come to Tuscany, or had to miss out and wished you had come... what would you be interested in doing next?

Maybe we could all list like our top 5 trips we would like to take with a group and go from there?

You know this is MLC when you have played emotional hot potato with a pair of crotch-less tights.

I have a wealth of experience of MLC (which I'd rather not have) - my previous long-term R (17 years, including 6 months of marriage) ended in D in July 2015 because I wanted to end it as it was an abusive R

Nope..not me...east coast of England. But have always had a soft spot for Scotland and spent patches of time there. I think Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful cities in the world tbh....but did spend a fab week on Islay once which was beautiful in a different way  :)

Ah right.  Yes, Edinburgh is a beautiful city - and the rest of the country pretty stunning too - feel very lucky to live with all of that right on my doorstep :)
