When Bloggers Meet
It’s a slightly strange concept, to have been engaging with someone in a virtual sense only, someone on the other side of the world, living in a different culture, and then have the opportunity to meet physically. But once we’d arranged to come to Nashville, Tennessee, and Meg at grandmisadventures told us they live here, a meeting was very definitely on the cards. We intended to include the story of our meeting it in a later post, but Meg has summed it up so perfectly that the best thing to do is provide a link to her post:
We spent a lovely few hours together and found connections you could only ever guess at from virtual contact. Meg’s post is the first time we’ve ever been called “travel rock stars” but how can you not like that moniker!? Love it!
A thank you again to Meg and Brad, and of course their delightful daughter Tess, you gave us a happy travel experience which we will treasure for ever….

How wonderful! I’ve met a number of bloggers over the years and many have become firm friends. Now over to read Meg’s blog!
Phil & Michaela
It was all rather special
Annie Berger
So happy you were able to meet up with your fellow blogging buddies in Nashville. It sounded like it was great fun for all five of you. Meg penned the right moniker for you both indeed!
Phil & Michaela
It was a lovely experience, Annie, one we’d be keen to repeat with other virtual friends 🙂

It’s always fun to meet in ‘real life’ people whom you’ve become friends with online. I’ve met so many Virtual Tourist friends over the years and I’m now starting to meet blogging ones too, three so far. But there’s a big gap in my ‘blogger meet-ups’ wishlist, as you know 😉
Phil & Michaela
Well, it’s May 8th…time to start thinking which bits of June will suit us all 😁
Toonsarah
You’re probably the busiest so maybe let me know what might work for you? I’m away the first few days but home from the 4th.
Phil & Michaela
Most of our family visits are likely to be weekends so maybe midweek around middle of June is the most likely to work
Alison
I hope to gatecrash 😬. 18 or 19 June late afternoon suit anyone?
Phil & Michaela
We don’t know yet chuck. Can’t be too specific till we’ve nailed a few other things, but in theory those dates are good timing x
Alison
Understandable, just play it by ear
Christie
It couldn’t have been better, Nashville following New Orleans and Memphis!
Meeting other bloggers is the bonus🙂
Phil & Michaela
It’s been full on, that’s for sure!

Great tribute to the Travel Rock Stars!

I’m off to read it now! As you say a strange concept, like meeting a pen pal from years ago. The Loveless Motel conjures up many thoughts.. do they rent by the hour 😆
Phil & Michaela
Oh Ali what a naughty mind you have 😂😂

It’s wonderful when such an opportunity presents itself! I can understand why Tess is so fond of you guys – you have so many amazing stories to tell that it will definitely captivate any child. I enjoyed Meg’s post and could clearly see how much they enjoyed meeting you and Michaela.
Phil & Michaela
Thank you so much, Corna. Nice things to say! Yes it was a lovely couple of hours
