I may try to be there. No promises as I have a lot on this year but am going to try make it down that way more often next year. Just have to play it by ear...
I don't mean just out to drink. I want to do a number of things. Have tried to find people for a number of different things. Archery, house riding, movies. I go to the park every weekend to feed the ducks. I have moved to a new town where I only knew 1 person so yes, I am looking at meeting people through different avenues. I do enjoy my own company (I do have a bit of it) and I prefer to meet people in the real world, not just behind a computer screen.
Maybe we will have to take a road trip one day. Coffee breaks are only about a half hour. I only sleep for 3hrs. Kids slept while I drove. Very possible!!!
Why is it that when we hit our mid 30's, 40's we become home bodies that prefer to stay at home and have a bbq or a few quiet drinks with the same people but then get on here to talk to different people or to try find a potential partner. I prefer to go out but I am finding it more difficult to find people to go out whether it be a night at the pub, a quiet drink in a beer garden, or anything else social. I love doing different things but want people who are interested in doing it too. We need to get out and about, learn to mingle again, try different experiences and take chances... You never know what you may find.
Yes, solo driver but 2 young kids at the time (yes, one of those Mums with 2 - 15 kids). Always taken me 2 days to Cairns and took me 3 days to Perth but only 2 and a half back from Perth. I love driving. I don't sleep much when I travel.
Everyone is different. I personally would not want to have children at that age and if you are just doing it to keep your partner happy, you are doing it for the wrong reasons. If you do really want a child at that age you really need to consider a number of things like how is your body holding up now and think about how it may be in 20yrs (at least). There are positives and negatives to every decision we make but remember, this decision affects 3 people. Think of what that child will need and are you able to provide it. (in saying that; a lot of young parents are crap too) We don't really know what we're in for until we are there and in the situation.
How slow do you drive. Takes me 2 days to drive from the other side of Melbourne to Cairns. It's all about the adventure!!! So worth it if it is as good as the old days.
Yes, so true. I used to go to the melbourne meets every 3 months. Loved it. We also went to Brissy and Adelaide. Such a great group back then. Hopefully we can get it happening again but maybe also branch out to smaller towns too.
I think you'll be about 5yrs late for this one sorry. You did however get me excited about a possible catch up with everyone. We will have to organise one for next year.
