Yup, I took a vacation to Australia (from U.S.) with 2 people I had only met in person one time (but knew for quite some time online). We flew to Aussieland and stayed with someone we had only met online. Then for the second part of the trip we met up with manda for the 1st time in person, shared a room with her. That was the best vacation ever! It was quite adventurous, the weather was awesome and I met some groovy people! My family knew all the details and didn't think I was wacky. I don't even think they worried about me!
Manda, that would be so cool for you to visit next year! And since Mindy isn't that far from me, we'll have a group gathering!!
Despite the fact that I've met lots of people from online, I have not met dates that way. I just can't do it!
