The 40th Reunion

I made my reservation early and as a result was on the complete opposite side of the hotel as everyone else but on the up side I had a beautiful suite, one of the few with a balcony.

My high school memories were not all that great.  In fact I didn't even go to the 30th reunion.  Since then my parents have both died and I felt this incredible need to reconnect with my childhood. So I went--

It was really nice this time because all of us had a sort of mini-reunion in the 6 months leading up to the reunion.  We were able to get to know one another again--this time as adults.  I met so many amazing people that I had never known in high school.  At the reunion I got to spend time with them and got to know them even better.  So despite the old saying, "You can't go home again," you really can.
