Patsy I had two great trips to the States meeting BB people -- my very first meet up was in a, wait for it, Outback Steak House. Someone in Ohio decided it would be funny... The menu was weird enough but the final straw was the stencils in the toilets -- which included an alligator. We don't have alligators here.
On the first trip one of the people I stayed with was a gentleman to whom I'd sold some books; we started a conversation in the process and are still friends now. I told one of my friends and she was like "You're going to stay with a man you don't know???" But if course I did know him; had been "speaking" to many of the people I met for years at that point. I actually stayed with many people I "didn't know" and they were universally lovely. Including the gentleman, whose name escapes me I'm embarrassed to stay, who changed his BB name, briefly, to InternetAxMurder because of my trip. Kathy (CasinoKat) wanted to meet up with us in Vegas but her sister was worried about her going there to meet a bunch of "strangers: "How do you know one of them isn't an internet axe murderer??" She came anyway and we had a great time.
Sadly many of them are now gone.
