(I finally finished graduate school not long ago, and before that did a lot of solo travel.)<br /><br />I would say that the dinner parties/events I've attended have been more on the side of informal, noisy get-togethers. I had a blast at a large dinner in Spain, many years ago. About two dozen people, many of us travelers and strangers, were gathered at one table. Much wine was consumed, followed by much dancing. It was a long and wonderful night, and the food and talk and wine and dance had a sort of magical way of bringing us together. New friends and travel partners? Drunken starlit Spanish nights? Not bad, I say. :)<br /><br />--AnnA.

The wife's parents also were visiting from England.

It was a small group, me, my husband, my mom, her new husband and a family friend. My mom surprised me when I saw a bottle of wine on the table. She has always been against drinking in her house, so it was a nice surprise. Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14462641875046092313noreply@blogger.com
