… What is Dragon Boating? A dragon boat is a long and narrow canoe that seats 20 paddlers in 10 rows, with a drummer at the front, and a steersperson that navigates the boat at the rear. It is also decorated with a dragon head at the front and a dragon tail at the back of the boat. In a competition, dragon boaters typically paddle in sync along a 250m or 500m race course toward the finish line. Modern forms of dragon boat racing originated from Hong Kong in 1976, but its historical roots can be tr …

I'd like to form a group of women that love fishing too plan some outings. I am married and love fishing with my husband, but our schedules can be in conflict, leaving me going out on my own. Guys tend not to have too difficult of a time getting others together for a trip, but often don't want any females present. I'd like the women to be able to bring their partners if desired as I enjoy fishing with anyone that enjoys. But I want the group to be made of females only as I have no pro …
I'm intend for this group to feel less formally organized by a leader/organizer. Remember when you were seven years old and you went down to the field on Saturday and people were just there and you had no difficulty finding someone to play catch with? Remember how therapeutic it felt? My sense is that there are quite a few people who like to throw a ball back and forth and, gee, wouldn't it be fun to know you can go somewhere during a particular timeframe and there'll be people who want t …

This meetup started for 30+ women who live in the city of Chicago who wanted to meet other women who are beyond their "partying" years and also live in the city. As the new organizer I decided to change that to include men both married and single. I will have men only events as well as women only events but on ocassion I will have co-ed events. I was raised in the city of Chicago so I hope to expose you to the many things this great city has to offer. I look forward to meeting you! --Marty

I have traveled to Italy at least once and sometimes twice a year for the last 10 years. I always start in Rome since for the most part it's the most direct route from America. Truth be told, I think you can never get enough of this incredible city short of living there anyway. One year I was there 3 times. All of my trips have been for at least 10 days and many for 2 weeks or more. After coming into Rome and spending at least a day or two there I go on to either Florence or Sorrento. I rent an …
