Some of the best moments of my spring transatlantic sailing from Fort Lauderdale to the UK were spent with other lively and interesting solo travelers. A group of us even met for dinner every night in the main dining room. We laughed we danced we sang we listened to each other stories about our lives —we were interested and interesting. As usual, I gravitated toward activities where people were learning, laughing, playing, feasting, appreciating and engaging in meaningful conversations. This group helped us to forget about some of the more frustrating, confusing, ever-changing, and disappointing elements of this Covid travel experience.
Our names were Joe Lana Henry Kathryn Theresa Stan Denise Lisa Carol Richard Steven Bob Cindy Janet Sue Karla Kent Clay and Michael from Ireland who gave up alcohol for Lent but was able to drink on St. Patrick’s Day because of the “loophole.”
We all agreed we would love to travel again together!
