How Far Will You Drive?

Being in such demand I have had to restrict myself to an 18 hour flight time max.

John, you will be rewarded for your sacrifices.

I believe that a couple who is truly interested in another couple will not hesitate to travel longer distances if time and life were not an issue. We have actually done alot less lifestyle wise since we have moved. It helps when you don't have children. It does not help when you have a big family.

BTW: I loved a Munising trip I went on quite a few years ago.

I thought I would add a poll to this.

How far are you willing to drive to meet with other swingers and/or to visit a club?

[OhioCouple]

My answer isn't an option on the poll. We will travel whatever distance for the right people. We may not meet often, but if we feel they are compatible and we like them, it wouldn't be a burden to travel more than 1500 miles if necessary.

I say this because we have gotten to know quite a few people that live a realtively long distance away. While they may never become swing partner, they certainly are friends.

[Roxysbayou]

We live at least 70 miles from the nearest club and our favorite clib is about 120 miles away. We try to meet people within about a 200 miles. We don't mind driving a little to meet good people.

[oleretired1]

we put as our limt, up to 200 miles away but I think if we were going on a vacation to visit family on the east cost (1200 miles away), we would not rule out a possible meeting; we also live out in the middle of no where and find more people we are compatible with are further away

I'd have to say about a hour's drive away at the most - maybe hour and a half because with a babysitter we'd have to be available to come back quickly.

That said though, if it's the RIGHT couple, we'd probably travel further but less often...

Four hours is about our limit for driving, any further and we'll fly or do some combination of the two. Good people are good people and we love to travel. The only two things stopping us from more of it are time and money.

We're right between Chicago and Detroit, like exactly halfway. We have no problems driving to either city, so I guess about 150 miles.

[Alura]

Fifteen years ago some non-swinging friends we'd met in Europe were living in Phoenix and we in Tulsa. Flying was the answer but neither couple could afford both tickets. We made the agreement that each couple would pay for one-half of the costs of the trip. They've moved all over the country since then and usually come here. (Everybody loves Tulsa.) If they drive, they keep their gas receipts for the trip and we give them cash when they get here. The wife spends the cash in the gift shops and clothing stores in Tulsa while shopping with Mrs. Alura, sometimes at Miss Jackson's.

We've continued this arrangement ever since and have added a few friends to the list. The situation has never happened with"playmates." We would consider it with playmates if we knew them well, although probably not for the first meeting. If each couple is willing to spend half the costs of a get-together, both win... and both really want to get together.

Drive 500 miles in any direction on this island, and there's a good chance you'll be checking out your car's abilities as a submersible before the end of the trip!

We went for the 120 miles option, which gives us a fair coverage, but that would never be a hard and fast figure. If the people seemed worth the effort, we'd make it - or split the distance with them.

[Weezie]

We have traveled up to almost 3 hours away to meet people. The farther away the harder it seems to be to meet frequently. After a while we seem to lose touch. We figure we live in a prime place though. On swinger sites we can scan out to northwest Florida all the way to the New Orleans area and meet people. These make for nice weekend or overnight trips. We also live in an area where people like to visit us (casinos, golf, beaches, etc...not the mention the sex).

[CLITFRIEND]

Generally I will travel within a hundred miles. I live in the New England section of the country---and if nothing else---this side of the country have some really gorgous Scenic area to drive through. I do however have a very special female friend who does not drive. She lives in PA.--I in RI. It is almost a 5 hour drive. But she is so special--she is definitly woth the effort.

[Vjklander]

We vend belly dance clothes at belly dance, ethnic, renaissance and fetish events all over. We have been from Boston to Atlanta to Chicago. So generally, we will contact people in the area we are going just to meet with, maybe play if its in the cards. This is particularly nice since we already have a hotel room lined up Hopefully, try to find a munch. Very often we also find friends amongst the other vendors. Since I drive 65 miles each way to work, driving isn't a big deal to me. Generally, we will drive anywhere to get together with friends we have already played with. For first meetings, I guess it would depend on the situation.
