I do travel agency work out of my home. I could put a group together to get us a discounted price, if people are interested. Maybe a 22 or 23 yr reunion since for the 25 yr, we wouldn't want anyone to not be able to come because of cost. Disney is a lot of fun, but more expensive than Carnival and Carnival's kid program has improved over years. But I would do either. I'm always up for a cruise. We went on a cruise after Katrina while we didn't have electricity at home. We had already scheduled it with a group and everyone else cancelled but we looked at our options and decided to go. Stay home, take cold baths, sleep in a hot house,cook on a coleman stove and listen to the sound of the generator 12 hrs a day or spend a week at sea with someone else cooking, cleaning, a climate controlled room, sitting by the pool and exploring foreign contries. So you can see it really wasn't that hard of a choice for me or the kids.

I know it would be Denise's choice. She's been pestering me to go on a cruise for about 10 years now. I keep telling her that I spent enough time onboard ships.

Tonya, I think we should definitely look into this. We have wanted to go on a cruise for such a long time. I know Amber would LOVE it! With 2 years notice, I'm sure most of us could swing it. That's plenty of time to get the $$ together and if we could get a discounted price that would be even better. If you were going to go on a cruise anyway, wouldn't it be even more fun to go with a large group of your closest friends and their children?

A wonderful idea, but it might be more cost-prohibitive for some than the party was. Maybe that can be an off-year reunion option.
Wait, I thought the reunion committee would foot the bill?
Indeed. When my plan to make a fortune comes through (c'mon Powerball!), I'll be happy to pay for EVERYONE.
Until then, Tonya's idea of a package for those interested sounds like the way to go: 22 - 23-year "interim" reunion, then a traditional 25-year "silver" anniversary. Not to scare anyone off, but I'd be game.
