Last year I went on my first “part-gay” cruise put together by the fine folks at Pied Piper Travel, and even though I’ve done a couple all-gay cruises I wasn’t really sure what to expect with this one. But I never expected to see the “Perfect Storm!”
My gaybours (gay+neighbors=gaybours) are the friends who convinced me to take this trip. They are a classic Gina/Tina combination, who’ve been together for almost 25 years. WOW! They had told me about the couple they met on the same cruise the previous year, so I was looking forward to meeting these guys, since I’d heard so much about them. And I can honestly say “the hype” was accurate! I had such a blast, especially at the dinner table.
What I found most fun was watching a true interaction of all four of the Sisters, or as I call it, the “Perfect Storm.” One Gina/Tina as I already mentioned, and the other Katie/Stacey pair. The times when the four were all together and clipping along presented the most fun! There was a sense of “completeness” or “together” that made the quad happy and content. It really was fun to watch.
The night of the disco party was the only time I saw most of the types taken to the extreme, which resulted in some stress and possibly hurt feelings, though each of the couples had been together for so long, they’ve learned how to quickly recover from these excursions.
Stacey wanted to stay out partying! But Katie was ready for bed… a time schedule to keep, ya know. Tina instigated it… “Let’s go!” She took the lead. Gina had already returned to her cabin to spend some quality alone time, so with the two Sashay Lefts out of the picture, the Sashay Rights broke out! Laughing and meeting people…
Until Katie showed up later to “apply the rules.” “It’s time for bed,” she said. And the party broke up for the evening.
Seeing this happen reminded me that opposites do attract and learning how to balance each other is a good goal for any relationship.
