Thanks for all your hard work in putting this together Janelle! When she and I first started talking about a family reunion we thought of several different ideas. Realizing the cost and effort involved in moving a large group of people from USA to Australia or the other way around, we thought a middle point might work better. Thus ---- Hawaii!
I know several people who have had family reunions on a cruise and they all LOVED it.
Everyone ate together every evening, played games and cards, spent quality time with each other, but were still able to have their "personal time" without offending anyone.
I love to cruise, so for those who have never tried it - don't hesitate to ask lots of questions!
Hope to see lots of posts and discussions to this blog!
A big hug to everyone!
An easier way to keep in contact with the Lusterman clan, keeping everyone up-to-date regarding the family reunion and an open way to share thoughts and photos etc with everyone! Be sure to keep checking back for new posts and feel free to post anything yourself!
