mo12 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I know there are other west coasters out there! Anyone interested in a weekend this fall in Vancouver or Victoria? I'm in Victoria and happy to host some hiking/ sightseeing/ hanging out... I still have yet to meet ANY young widows in the area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lost35 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm just north of you on the island...if it is kid friendly, I'm in. -L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo12 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Definitely kid friendly (mine is 18 mos)... although hopefully also some wine involved at some point:) Would be great to meet you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr C Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I would come up from Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelerswife Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I will be traveling this summer (with my 14 year-old niece) and hope to be crossing the border into Vancouver. I don't yet have my exact itinerary, but I am working around the date of Thursday, July 23rd to be in far northern California to inter half of my husband's ashes next to his late wife. If anyone was interested in summer...perhaps the weekend before (July 18th or 19th) I might be able to make something work. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo12 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Would be great to meet you all! Wheelerswife, I am away all summer with my daughter to our "other home" (where we lived until last fall, where I lived with DH) in the Interior of BC so I won't be on the coast at all in July and August... but perhaps others are around, post away! I was thinking probably a weekend end of September or sometime in Oct or Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lost35 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Weekends in Sept. or Oct. work best for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobFTC Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 We're planning on flying into Seattle and spending some time there, and in Victoria and Vancouver this summer. The likely range is the last couple of weeks of July and the first week of August. Just seeing old haunts I like, but I am also scouting a possible move after the girls head to college. We're up for meeting folks! More when I have it. Take care, Rob T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabzmom Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I would go up in the fall. September - October also work for me. In the Summer, I would go to a mini-bago as well, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeybacon Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi, My name's Matt. I lost my wife this April after a 9 year battle with cancer. I just found this board and I thought I'd post here. What happens at a Widowbago? What's its purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2507 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hi Matt, it's basically a get together with fellow widows/widowers. It could be just meeting for lunch or it could be a weekend get away. It is a chance to get out and talk to people that understand some of what you are going through. I have been to a few things and it has helped me a lot.

Gabzmom Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I attended this get together in Seattle. I think there were 9 of us? It was my second as I attended a lunch in Manhattan. I really enjoyed meeting others who share our unfortunate circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo12 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Quick poll- which weekend would work better for people- October 24/25 or November 7/8? Or another suggestion? I have some ideas for things to do in Victoria (with and without kids) but am open to suggetions too! Mostly just a chance to meet you all!

iloveyoualways Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Mo12 and Lost 35, we would be into visiting, if finances permit. Sorry for not writing back. It's me and a seven year old son. We have weekends free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losttogether Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm in Victoria too and would LOVE to meet. I can't do November 7/8 but the October date would work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losttogether Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Weekends are best for me also as I work through the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo12 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Sorry I've been MIA around here. I have to go back to my other home (where the house is that I rent out now) the weekend of Oct 24th. Could still do that weekend of Nov 7/8 but Losttogether since you are in Victoria too would be great if you could come for at least part of it! Could also do the 14/15...
