Only 7 ... mmmh.

When i decided to go for the long trip weeks ago i thought this would be a potentially huge meeting. Especially considering the fact that it takes place in the U.S. and with all the naval attractions in that area.

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that is happy with it.

You guys start posting pictures of the meet and we'll all be jealous

The stuff you're going to see is very nice, I just wish I had the money - as 2 years ago - to jump the ocean and join.

Wish I had the scratch to go there this year, but also being so new to the forum and not really knowing anyone yet it's better that I held off. Maybe next year. I'd love to meet everyone.

Where did I go wrong?

Would krashkart come for a bowl of splitpea soup? McBee buy krashkart bowl of splitpea soup.

Here's one place we'll be going:

Are you jealous?

Don't forget Bill. That's worth the trip in itself.

August, Rose
Jason Lobo
Daryl Carpenter
Michael Pohl
Ivank
Sledgehammer
Bas Langenhof
Bill Nichols, Rose

For some reason, attendance for this meet was weak from the beginning. Not sure why. I waited until the last minute to cancel, I would really like to meet August, and see the new guys, & guys from Europe and Jason again. But I have attended all the meetings to date and with two kids in college and no job until recently, I'm not as rich as I used to be.

This meeting may be small, but you still will have a good time, and get a chance to visit the Nautilus, BB Cove, and New London, and do it with friends. 10 or 100, it's still what you make of it.

Some day, I'm going to luck into getting an invitation from the Navy to attend a VIP nuke submarine cruise (already been on two) and get permission to bring 10 attendees. Those who make that Subsim meeting will get a surprise bonus.

Hate to break it to you Neal, but Bill is going to be in Alabama the second half of this week.

EDIT: Blast! Subnuts beat me to it.

Sailor Steve · 09-18-10, 10:16 AM

I wanted to meet August too, but what's really breaking my heart is that this might have been my last chance to walk the decks of a Gearing again, and my only chance to ever see Constitution.

That could be interesting...

PS: sorry that I could not join, I would have loved to, but two main reasons: not much money left after I have spent a lot of money on my Mexico trip this summer plus some new photo equipment I needed (my camera was broken in Mexico, and I had to buy a new one), but also because I did not find a job this autumn, so in return for recieving the insurance money, I have to attend a job search course by law. If I miss it, they withdraw my right to receive it. So forced to stay at home.
But have fun those of you attending this meet. I'm sure it will be nice even though the number of attendees is low. Looking forward to see your photos.

I don't need to see a pic, I've been jealous ever since I knew I couldn't come

I bet it's the thought of making good on that offer of a pint at Houston Airport that's put ya off
