And then there was the G. family (not their real names). With their 2-1/2 yr-old in tow, at whom they screamed every minute of every day (poor thing was only going through an enormous adjustment, so why not yell at her constantly?) It got to the point where, at meals, everyone would hover until the G. family seated themselves, and then scramble for a seat at the other table. Need I say more? Every trip has one.<BR/><BR/>Your future, punctual-to-a-fault, and not-too-annoying-I-hope travel mate,<BR/><BR/>Julie<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hmmmm....was that too BTDT know-it-all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15059598.post-63709917585731839572008-01-19T19:56:00.000-05:002008-01-19T19:56:00.000-05:00I am SO happy to report that we had a very big tra...I am SO happy to report that we had a very big travel group for CAWLI - 19 families - who traveled last May/June, and we had the best experience with all our travelmates! No one broke the unofficial "rules" and we had a great time. Can't wait to see them all at the CNY party!Two Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287174746506005845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15059598.post-60713565403236663982008-01-18T20:37:00.000-05:002008-01-18T20:37:00.000-05:00May I add...The BTDT know it Alls.Can not stand li...May I add...The BTDT know it Alls.<BR/>Can not stand listening to them.<BR/>Now I don't mean them talking about their previous adoption and how Forever Day was for them ( I actually like listening to that!)

Maybe it's because we spend so much time with kids that we start to act like them? I can't wait to hear you talk about how cute Annika is and, of course, how cute Grace is!! <BR/>JenSteve and Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180943724907201195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15059598.post-73505309256299957432008-01-18T18:08:00.000-05:002008-01-18T18:08:00.000-05:00I need to go read the forum....we had a couple peo...I need to go read the forum....we had a couple people in our group that drove me nuts. 1 couple WAS ALWAYS LATE, never came to group dinners, didn't care about being with us, but always held us up. The other I won't talk about. We had 2 other couples that we instantly bonded with and did most things with them. We had a great time, too! We never heard anyone snoring (never saw any travelmates sleeping). Everyone is constantly oggling the babies, so you might have to bite your lip on that one!!Stacey T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14054846009757731706noreply@blogger.com
