One of the best things about cruising is the people you meet and become friends with. Now, good friends are an excellent commodity in any situation but I feel when you develop that relationship cruising, it is a little special. Maybe it is because you become friends bonding in a special way by having to do similar projects and rely on each other. It could be because we tend to be fairly like-minded in our approach to life. Or maybe it is knowing deep down that you will be saying goodbye very soon and you want to stay in contact. Anyway, on this trip it is amazing we have made some fast new friends that I think will stand the test of time of being off on our separate ways for a while. But even more remarkable is the sudden resurrecting of friends from when we were last cruising. It is amazing how many people we have bumped into that are still around and we immediately seem to pick up where we left off. Some of these people have not been seen or heard from in 18-19 years. And we immediately dive into a conversation like we had been out of contact for only a week or so.
