The photos are great! I only took one and it was blurred so it is good to see clear ones. I wish I'd taken more.

Loloma, your photos are lovely! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you arrived home safely.:tup:

If we do go to York, me and my H will stay over.

If we do go to York, me and my H will stay over.

Me as well, I can't do the trip both ways if I'm driving. It could be a KP family outing as H may come and daughter can't wait.

 

[Nighthawk]

Wow we are all human. The knowledge that I speak to a computer screen everyday has been broken by your photos.

I actually regret that we did not get a shot of the 3 of us in NY. We had an amazing time.

Ah, just joined the forum myself, so missed this event.

The photos are very inspiring. I feel like I look strange from the outside, like the PTSD is visible to other people. But you all look so normal, just like everyone else, so perhaps I'm not so odd myself :-)

I live in Manchester, so hopefully can join you in York, or wherever else you decide to meet next.

I have to admit, I am a little jealous. I live in the states and don't travel well by air, (or ground for that matter):) lol, but it would be so cool to meet you all in person. My best friend lives out on the west coast while I live on the east coast and I can't go see him until I beat this fear of flying (falling), so it kinda bites that you all are able to get together and I have to stay here and be afraid to move. Geeze I sound pathetic so am going to stop talking now, but I am happy for you all that you got to meet up!!!!:D:p:)

Not pathetic at all my friend. One day you will do it. For now, your friend could always visit you. Also be careful what you wish for because one day you may find yourself on the tour of places KP will visit :p.

Just took some time to look at the pics. Really gang, what a great idea, really glad that you were able to coordonate the outing. Thanks for the pictures... Wow Loloma, flyed in from Holland - IMPRESSIVE !:tup:

I wish I had found this forum sooner. We just got back from a trip to England (our daughter's graduation present) and would have loved it (Im invincible/fearless with my bodyguard, lol).

 

[Jestadud]

Well done to you all, have followed this meeting closely and reckon you are all brave to allow pictures to be posted. Such an example in the first place to risk meeting up.

Do you feel it was worth it? Does 2 x Ptsd equal something less than normal Ptsd.

Has it helped, do you feel it might help or does it make no difference at all to your situation.

I'm not looking to put it down just to understand any benefit in sharing our problem.

 

[amethist]

It did my husband the world of good Jesta, knowing he is not the only one feeling as he does.

But I think the biggest thing that happened to maybe all of was, that we all felt like old friends meeting up again. All feeling safe, all feeling connected and all feeling that the world is not such a scary place after all.

He/we will do it again in York. We just have to pick a date now. :tup:

I have horribly sweaty nervous hands thinking about the travelling etc, but I really would love to meet you guys so I don't feel like I'm an alien. This forum has proved I am not an alien, but I am just behind a computer screen. I would love to socialise, take photos of everyone, I love taking photos, just a mess in front of the camera. When a date is picked I'll do what I can to come along :D so keep me posted!

 

[amethist]

For all those who think may like to join us in York, here is the Even thread for it. Plenty of time to work out how to get there and for arrangements to be made.
