Florida Steemit Meetup! // Part 1

The Flight From Hell

We had a rough start to the trip as our flight was delayed due to "air flow issues". There was a huge possibility that we were going to miss our connecting flight....hence the look of concern and dread on our exhausted faces here.
@crimsonclad had the same delay issues for her flight.
Apparently "air flow" is an issue.

Sunny...Yet Chilly Florida

We finally made it and saw some palm trees which pleased me, as well as the lovely beach at our resort.
We also took a walk in Ft. Lauderdale at the River Walk.
It was a bit chilly for the last 2 days but it's warming up now, which is good, as I prefer sweltering hot temperatures to offset my cold, reptilian/vampire/alien-like disposition.

The Meetup!

@kubbyelizabeth and her family were kind enough to host a dinner for all of us!

Me, @swelker101, @clayboyn, @crimsonclad, @kubbyelizabeth, @scaredycatguide, @meno, @choogirl, @ankapolo, @morodiene, @negativer, @lenadr all had a great time!

Sometimes you don't know what it will be like to actually meet people in real life that you know online, but the conversation was awesome and filled with laughs!

@aggroed will be joining us today as we all hang out in Delray at the St. Paddy's Day Parade!
I'll post more pics tomorrow!

Glad you had a good time.

Hi! Glad to see you here on Steemit!

Glad to be here, happened to run across it on youtube.. It will take me a while to get the hang of this. It sure beats the daily same old story over and over again. Seems to be a cool community for the most part. Looking forward the next show, Sunday isn't it? Can't get my discord chat to work, but will eventually.

"I recognize all these people from the internet." - Explaining this to my wife ;)

lol! "The people from the internet"

fun fun fun!!! great pics! kitty is very tall. some people im not sure who dey are but you all look happy! moar pics!!!

He is very tall! So in the last pic, sitting down from left to right: choogirl, negativer, morodiene, me, and clayboyn. Then standing up left to right: lenadr, ankapolo, meno, kubby, crim, catman, and The Shane!

ty oh now i know lenadr tho i always want to say leandr....

I bet you laughed to oblivion, there was so much potential around that table!

Great pictures!
There's only 2 people that I can't identify, because I'm not sure what they look like.

Thanks! So in the last pic, sitting down from left to right: choogirl, negativer, morodiene, me, and clayboyn. Then standing up left to right: lenadr, ankapolo, meno, kubby, crim, catman, and The Shane!

It was choogirl and lenadr that I wasn't sure about. :-)

Glad you had fun. I hear @clayboyn was giving hugs for free?

He had hugs for everyone!!! I had to pay for mine though with Cheezits :P

You're a beautiful bunch of people! I wish I would have been there!

I wish you could have too! Be sure to take lots of pics at your meetup, I wish I could go!!!!

New to Steemit. Month and a half old. Wish I had known about the Florida meet up. I live an hour away.

wow that will be an exciting meet-up! great job @isaria

Are you guys having a jam? I'm 2 or 3 hours away!

Oh wow sorry, I just saw this!!! We need to get more organized with meetups so everyone knows about them!

Wishing you guys the best of times on your meetup,
great food+ good company=great times, just everyone there are fabulous steemians I would love to meet, wish we could have been there! Beautiful views from the resort!

...I prefer sweltering hot temperatures to offset my cold, reptilian/vampire/alien-like disposition.

Hahaha loved that bit! Even the dark empress enjoys sunny beaches ;) Have fun!

these are kinder pictures than I expected, lol

Yeah, that last pic turned out great....except for Shane who looks like he is planning pure evil. lol

Looks like fun, and top notch headcount.

But were there cheezits?

there were because I am a criminal mastermind

I was feeling a little sad about missing the kitties, but you made everything better with Cheezits!

Really wish Julia and I could have been there with all of you beautiful people, only my favs on the last photo..... next time!!!!
@negativer and @swelker101 both look like they have some nefarious plans going on in the back of their minds, but that wouldn't stop me...

lol I think Shane was considering how to leave me in Florida and planning his escape lol
I wish we could go to the Canada meetup to hang out with you and Julia!!!

This looks like a very merry meet up! Beautiful to see how Steemit connects people globally and moreover also on a vibrational level. Many people coming here to Steemit tend to highlight the importance of the Heart.

Great! :)

Looks like a great time. I wish I could have been there :)

Thanks for sharing this with us! I'm glad everyone made it there safely so far and it's true you never know what people are like in real life until ya meet them in person. Looks like a good time though! Group hugs 🤗♥♥♥bitmoji-20180316091737.png

Thanks Stacey! You were with us in spirit.....Clay and I were having some philosophical discussion at one point and he mentioned one of your posts!

Hey @isaria , this is amazing trip. I will like to add a quote here that may be helpful to bloggers on this platform ;
Why You Should Upvote Comments!!!!
I've noticed alot of people doesnt reward their followers, and their commenters on here.
It's a shame.
When someone takes the time to not only read your post but to leave a comment. Even throwing your small vote their way does a lot of great things...
They are More Likely To Follow You;
I'm not saying you should upvote every single comment you get. I try and look for those that I feel provide value to the post. When they see that you upvoted their comment and they will be rewarded as a result. This encourages them to follow you; Then you'll have a regular on your post!
You can grow your followers so that they can grow you.
If they choose to keep their Steem in their account, They may power it up. If you continuously are upvoting their great comments, then they will steadily grow overtime. Their vote will be worth even more, and they'll be able to upvote you, The upvotes you gave them helps them grow, so they have more power on the platform.

That's Amazing Post. I Very Like It...

very pleasant meeting,
@isaria
