This is a course of action I will look into. Unfortunately, I don't know too much about doing this so will have to do some research to find out what's involved.
I was hoping that I would get a response to my email but unfortunately I haven't and so I sent them another email yesterday giving them until June 15th to come up with a solution or I would be taking legal action.
It is sad and a good reminder that you shouldn't lend large amounts of money to friends. I would have been better off at the time to simply say I didn't have the cash available.
Yes, I have documentation that it was a loan. And, yes, we were in Greenwich, CT to attend the wedding of the daughter of a friend of ours.
Being happy with your time alone is great. It means that you're happy with yourself. And before you can love and appreciate others, you have to feel good about yourself first!
That's my main reason for going on trips alone - the ability to choose what you want to do when you want to do it. There's nothing harder than being with someone on a trip and all you want to do is sit around and relax you worry that THEY will be bored.
Thanks for the compliment. Even though I'm a loner, I do enjoy the company of a select group of people I know. Traveling alone requires some getting used to - being a single person on a tour made up of couples, going to a restaurant alone, but I've learned to interact with others on tours and I really don't mind eating alone!
I agree with you about the blogging. I just wish I would be able to open up more in my blog to express how I feel about certain things. I think the reason I don't is that I assume that most people wouldn't really give a damn about what's happening in my life!
I wish I had more time alone at the office! Fortunately, I've chosen not to socialize with the people I work with except at special events (Office Xmas parties etc).
A year or so ago, an old "acquaintance" i had in England contacted me through Facebook and asked what I had been up to. I replied and we shared a few emails, but then he suddenly stopped replying. I enjoy meeting complete strangers and striking up a conversation - you'll never see these people again but at least for that moment it means something.
