I am in contact with 32 people that I knew in Elementary School.Most via e-mail ,some by phone and one in person.
My school had an online message board for all year graduates.There were about 100 people who were regulars .In 2006 we decided to have an all years reunion .Forty people attended but they were all from my year to one year before me and one year after.Everyone had a great time and we had two more reunions.
The second time we were in St. Thomas we booked a tour that was not supposed to have shopping but several people on the bus indicated to the tour guide that they wanted to shop .The three hour tour turned out to be a mainly shopping tour.
The only class picture that I have is a framed 9th .grade .Why my parents decided to buy it I have no idea.I also have no idea of the cost.
When I was in the 3rd.grade I was in a school play and I also have that picture by not framed.It was a Christmas play and I was an elf.
We flew to Puerto Rico,toured as much as possible then took a cruise to other islands ,returned to San Juan and toured more .We have family in PR and love being there.
I think the best we ever did driving from the terminal parking garage to our LI driveway was about an hour and 20 minutes and we are 40 minutes south west of Plainview.
Similiar in that our first cruise was 1973 ,NY to Bermuda -7 nights.
Our second cruises was in 1994 and our third after we both retired.
Due to the nature of our jobs we has very little free time to travel .
Something I just thought of .Several years ago there was an Author on a RCI ship who was a passenger .He did a book signing in the library and gave free signed copies to passengers.He did the same on 4 other RCI cruises.
A friend of mine and his wife never get off the ship when cruising to a places that they have been to many times.
On the ship,there is a pool,a library ,a fitness center just to name a few.
