USVI-On-Line

We are new to this forum, but would like to hang out with other people that share the addiction for the islands like we do. (People that haven't been there, just don't get it!) We live on the Wisconsin & Illinois border and are wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting at a local bar & grill on the river (not the same I know!)to reminisce, share storis & best of the bests, and of course drink some rum punch! We have primarily been to STT, but have been to STJ once and plan on going back this December.

If anyone is interested we are thinking sometime in later August.

Hope to meet some other Island Junkies! LOL!

5 months until we get our next fix!

We're in Peoria and could shoot up Rte 39 or find somewhere in between.........

Will be away until Aug. 22 and the off to NYC for Labor Day weekend!

Let's see!

I probably live VERY near you! I will PM you to tell you where. I may be interested if I am not taking the daughter to college. Sat the 22nd is probably good. We had a forum party in Madison 2 years ago which was fun!

Aug. 22nd won't work for us -- will still be on a plane coming home from San Diego!

Yes, we've had a couple of Madison gatherings before and they have been great fun. I'll just keep following this thread to see where it goes...

That sounds like fun, count me in. If you live near the border so do we. Where were you thinking of meeting?

I'd entertain the idea as well, but have 2 little ones who will either need to come along or have a sitter. 22nd doesn't work for us either - littlest's 3rd birthday party. Maybe I should just all invite you here for that?!

We might be interested as well - also have a child who would need a sitter or to join us. We hosted the last such gathering and had a very good time!

I wish you guys lived closer.

Sounds like a fun idea. My husband and I are somewhat shy...have you guys already met??/

Quit a few people from Wi on here.

How about Saturday, August 29th at "The Rock" in Beloit, WI. Beloit is about 45 miles south of Madison, WI and pretty central at the bottom of the state. Here is a link to The Rock: http://www.gazlo.com/marketplace/busine ... bar-grill/

Does this work for the majority?

SunnySal,

I have not met anyone either. Plus, we all share a common bond...the love for the islands. We just roll with it ya know!

We will try to make it. I will have just left my oldest at college for the first time, so you might have to ignore the red, puffy eyes.

sounds like a plan to me.

I have not met anyone yet either, but it sure will be great to put faces to names.

waterguy, I think you need to make a road trip.

I think we should bring a pain killer recipe with us and see if they can make it.
