Please read...travel buddies...vacations...places to travel with sleeves!

I dont know about any of my fellow sleevers but even before I got my sleeve I had made plans to travel this year to places Ive always wanted to visit here in the US. One of my first trips planned is a trip up north to the Redwood National forest. I want to see all the natural beauty out here in California while I can and with my sleeve and the weight that I will be loosing its the perfect mix for me.

However I realize that I am single and most of my friends all live back east and not all can afford to travel with me this year or even beyond. Thats why I am starting this forum.....I think that it would be a cool idea for fellow sleevers to want to meet other sleevers and also have fun to link up on here... Its always fun to meet new friends and to maybe find a travel partner. Granted I think they should have like sleeve conventions or cruises so that a bunch of us can vacation together but until I find that I thought what the heck....If you plan to travel to a city where there are other sleevers then you can meet up and do something instead of feeling alone on your vacation.

I live in Newport Beach, California and if anyone visits I would be happy to show them around and have some fun with a fellow sleever or two!

Lets see how many people like this idea..maybe someone can help me refine this...Id love the advice/help!

I think that's a great idea. I'm having a moment today and I'd love to sit with someone who understands

I think this is a great idea! I am not sleeved yet but I am a revision from band to sleeve. I wanted to go on vacation B4 I got sleeved !! How ironic huh !!! LOL So for all of you out there who would like a VIP travel counselor who by the way "specializes" in Orlando and Walt Disney World travel packages let me know and I will be glad to show you around town !!! This is one of the things I am looking forward to .... to be able to actually "ride the rides" at WDW, Universal Studios and Seaworld.

Love the idea :)

Id like to generate enough buzz about this topic...I just think that there have been so many people that I have met on here who have and are so supportive and helpful. It would be incredible if we could get enough people interested that would like to plan for a large get together or mini vacation celebration and see how it goes..maybe make a yearly event. Im newly sleeved but this just sounds like fun to me! What do you think?

That sounds fun, great idea :)

I love this! I live visiting new places. I am going to Sacramento in October for a wedding and plan to drive to the redwood national forest.

This is an awesome idea. I'm also in Orlando near the parks. I'm pre-op (no surgery date yet) but can't wait to lose the weight so I can enjoy my favorite rides again. I love the roller coasters in Universal but haven't been on in a while for fear of getting kicked off...
