Four out of a million. This reaffirms my initial opinion that I'm lazy, haha.

I'm there! I love boats and cruises! (Based on my sample size of one cruise. Boats is a larger sample size of experiences.) We did one for our honeymoon and getting to go to a bunch of different places while my stuff was safe was awesome. I'd do one again in a heartbeat. I think the secret to staying healthy is eating at the restaurants instead of the buffet.

--- End quote ---
Specific ones, depending on what city the story's set in. The one Brian and AJ went to in The Road to Bethlehem was awesome because it had a super detailed layout posted. Perks of being a small hospital, I guess. It's usually harder to find that kind of information for the really big hospitals that have multiple buildings and whatnot. I just make up what I can't find or keep it pretty general, but it makes my anal little brain happy to be able to write something like "They took the elevator to the eighth floor" and know that that information is correct.

I'm down! I have been to Orlando, but not for a Backstreet pilgrimage or fanfic retreat. I have been on two pilgrimages to Lexington, so I feel like I need to go on an Orlando one someday. The only thing I've really done in the Orlando area is go to Disney and Universal Studios. I have also never been to Tampa or the Florida Keys.

LMAO at Zombie Disney World! That would be fun trying to explain why I wanted to go on the base. "Well, see, I once wrote a fanfic about the Backstreet Boys surviving the zombie apocalypse at this very air force base..."

I'm surprised the bigger ones don't! If you ever need a Colorado hospital, I know a gal and can ask all your anal research questions for you.

I've never been on a Backstreet pilgrimage at all, though I begged my husband to help me find the "Backstreet" when we were in Orlando. It didn't happen. You've been on a previous fanfic retreat? haha Are there team building activities? ;)
I liked Tampa better than Orlando, though we technically stayed in St. Pete. I remember one dive bar very clearly that had a tiny moat on the bar top and you could race plastic ducks. We usually spend our Florida time in Palm Beach, Lauderdale, or Miami, so the Keys are definitely on my list eventually.

LMAO! Of course they would let you in if you explained it that way. If my friend was still based there, I would try and get you the hookup.
Rose:
I opened up my Egypt story. I don't know how much I'll write in it but I wanted something to channel the angsty feelings into.
nicksgal:
Yay! Opening counts as writing here!
