I loved every second of the whole cruise! I hadn't been dancing for about 11 years. He put together meetings for us every day. He called our rooms to make sure we were OK and ask if we wanted to go to activities. We got along so well that I roomed with him on my second cruise.
And he found a good match for my roommate. I printed about 30 pages of info that he sent. Brian did everything! He arranged the airline tickets and the hotel before the cruise. When I met Brian at Phoenix Pride, my desire grew to see what's in a cruise. "My goal is for you to feel confident that this is the right place for you, and get the fun started!" There's only one way you'll know if cruising with us is right for you: contact Brian at 61 or day I talk with singles, or couples who want to invite a single friend-gay or straight-to join them," Brian says. Click here for information about our upcoming gay singles cruise. Onboard, we host all sorts of fun activities designed to help you connect with others in the group. Every year, we find a fantastic cruise and negotiate super-low, single-occupancy fares for full-size cabins. The third way is our annual Gay Singles Cruise. Even if you aren't matched with a roommate and end up with your own cabin, you're covered-you'll never pay the single supplement! But if things don't work out, we'll make them right immediately, so everyone is comfortable.
That way, you're guaranteed accommodations at prices that are significantly lower than the going rates later. We buy blocks of rooms when the sailing is first announced and fares are at their lowest. The first way we combat this is with our First Fares Strategy. With most cruises designed for "double-occupancy," this can seem an unnecessarily pricey way for a single to travel.

"I want to thank everyone that has seen, and everyone that has commented on, the video of my husband Larry Zander. I will always love you.Īfter the recent increase of views over Father's Day, my mother asked me to include this addendum: Which we did, on Memorial Day, in our backyard beside his trout pond. He looked up at my Mom and simply said, "Play this at my funeral." When the video ended, I looked over at him sitting on the other end of the couch. After all, I had selected Cat Steven's "Father and Son" to underscore the piece, and I was initially concerned that Dad wouldn't like the theme of the song.
We spent the day together up on Crystal River in Waupaca, Wisconsin.ĭuring Christmas 2010 I showed him this video, not without trepidation. Last summer I asked Dad if we could shoot this video with my new camera, and so we awoke before dawn - uncomfortable for me, but old-hat to my Dad, a lifelong fisherman! When I stopped resisting, only then did I find love. I can't tell you when it happened, there was no definitive moment, but somehow I learned to trust not only Larry, but God, too, for I truly believe He introduced Larry to my Mother.īoth of them knew what they were doing, though I was too young to know it. Resist both him and his attempts to love me. Yes, resist this stranger who was not only showing my Mother a great deal of attention, but was also replacing me as the man of the house! When my Mother first brought Larry into my young life, quite naturally my first instinct was to resist.
You see, I didn't meet Larry until I was eight years old. He also taught me something that I only came to realize as an adult, and that is the immense capacity of the human heart.
He taught me everything of value, including how to respect others, and how to love and engage the Lord with my mind as well as my spirit. To those of you who never met him, just know the river was his Church. He was 78.įor those of you who knew my Dad, you will instantly recognize him in his natural habitat. I made this video with and for my father, Larry Zander, who died a few weeks ago, on May 27, 2011. I was ambivalent about sharing this video publicly, but my Mother asked me to do it, so I will follow her judgment.
