west coast cruiser Posted September 13, 2007 #26 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hello WCC Yep it does look like it is up to us. I live in Sacramento. I can meet either early evenings/late afternoons/weekends. A coffee place would be best I think. I don't mind traveling to Roseville. Any ideas? I am in the Campus Commons area. What part of town are you in? WCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelingjan Posted September 13, 2007 #28 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Just found this thread. I am widowed so either cruise with grandchildren or by myself. I live in Fair Oaks. One of my best experiences was transatlantic last Nov solo. I plan another by myself in April. Since I am retired I look for bargains and don't have to worry about the school year except when I want company from a grandchild. I have just used Princess and GCT. Would be great to meet with others with similar interests but I may be older than the rest of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveThisCruisingThing Posted September 14, 2007 #29 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Jan I think we are all various ages around here. Doesn't matter. I am waiting to hear from WCC to see what he has for an idea about meeting. We will definitely post it here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west coast cruiser Posted September 14, 2007 #30 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Jan I think we are all various ages around here. Doesn't matter. I am waiting to hear from WCC to see what he has for an idea about meeting. We will definitely post it here! Right. I think we are all young at heart or we wouldn't be doing the solo cruising thing. I am also a widow. Love this cruising thing, I think you are the youngest but we all have a great common interest--our love of cruising. We should probably find a place midway between Fair Oaks and our area for our first meeting. I have relatives arriving Sunday for a week and I leave on Sept. 26th for Wisconsin for two weeks. I could meet Monday Sept. 24th for a short get together. Maybe late afternoon or early evening. What works for the two of you? WCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveThisCruisingThing Posted September 15, 2007 #31 Share Posted September 15, 2007 The 24th is good for me....late afternoon is probably better. I get off work about 3:30....any ideas of where to meet? Between Fair Oaks and Arden Arcade is good (not sure of what is between us but I'm sure someone will know LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelingjan Posted September 17, 2007 #33 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Spent the weekend in San Diego so that is why the delay in my reply. Besides cruising I love baseball so went there to see the games this weekend. The 24th would be fine for me. I am not real sure of what we would fine in between as I am really only acquainted with the Sunrise area but I have no problem coming to the Arden area.

flamomo Posted September 18, 2007 #38 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hi I never thought I would consider solo cruising, but West Coast Cruiser is a friend and suggested I join the thread. I, too, am widowed, and I am retired. Except for an annual cruise, my trips are to visit an out-of state daughter and family, out of state to visit my widowed Mom, and a few trips to Las Vegas every year. I am booked for the Diamond Princess to Hawaii in March, but my cabin mate has backed out, and I am terribly disappointed. With the single supplement, I don't see how I can justify it. But I would have liked so much to go. My cabin mate and I had done that itineraty on the Island in 2006 and immediately decided to go again. It's been booked for over a year, but she has now changed her mind. I'd be very interested in chatting with all of you, hearing of your experiences, and and learning what, if any, cruiselines are more solo-friendly.

Jan and I had a nice visit and enjoyed getting to know each other. It would be great if we could get more people interested and have another get together. I will be out of town for two weeks and Jan has a trip planned in November. Maybe we can try again in October. What happened to the others who wanted to do this?

LoveThisCruisingThing Posted September 27, 2007 #44 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I too wish I had been there. The meeting was long and very unproductive. I am available in Oct except for the 12th-14th. Let me know. I think the others pooped out. I am so glad that you two got together...it's a start.

Let me know. I think the others pooped out. I am so glad that you two got together...it's a start. I just returned home last night after being gone for two weeks. Let's make one more appeal to those who seemed interested in a Sacramento area get-together, especially the woman who started the idea. What happened to everyone?

cuatsea Posted October 12, 2007 #46 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Greetings! My sister, who lives in the Gold Country, is a recent widow, and is interested in your group. Could you let us know of any meetings so we can try to attend? My husband and I live in north Sacramento. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveThisCruisingThing Posted October 14, 2007 #47 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I was unable to make the initial meeting due to a meeting at work. I am definitely interested in meeting again. If no one has an idea for a date/ place, I will throw one out in a couple of days. GRace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
