Meeting people on holiday

[johnmc]

This is not about meeting the opposite sex and keeping in touch, thats fine. Im all for that.

However, if you holiday as a couple, and meet another couple on holiday, who you befriend and maybe have a couple of nights out whilst on holiday. Maybe a meal or two.

If you keep in contact despite living hundreds of miles apart, and even maybe once a year spend a weekend at their house and vice versa, this thread is for you.

I despise each and everyone of you.

We met a couple from Suffolk in The Dominican Republic in 94 and became great friends.
We are God parents to two of their kids and they are God parents to our two.
They emigrated to Australia last year and although we only met up once or twice a year, the last time we met before they left the country we all cried.

The year before, we met a great couple who we've never met with again but we always exchange Christmas cards.
The kids have made friends on holiday and still keep in touch via Facebook
And there was a couple who we met on our honeymoon who we met up with over here, but we were happy to fall out of touch with them.

Love to know your experience mate

i must admit to finding it odd that you go away to see something different culturally, and some people spend all week with someone from 'down the road'.

all very insular us brit's

We didn't, in fact we tried not to, but we just got on so well.
Even all the kids when they got together had a real ball.

And I've got to say that some of the best laughs we've had during the last sixteen years were in the company of this couple.
Before they left for Oz we reflected on our times together and we were literally crying laughing, which made it even sadder to say goodbye.
Great memories and really great friends.

Three's more than enough anyway.
