POLL..How many trips to the FSU....
« on: January 30, 2009, 08:14:38 PM »
Sorry, this poll is ONLY for Married/Separated/Divorced members or members who have their k1, k3 etc. paperwork on file (in the "system" somewhere).

Any subsequent trips you made AFTER meeting your beloved, do not count.

Neutral site is defined as another country e.g. Greece, Italy, France, Thailand, etc.

Concerning 1/2 trips, round up to the nearest whole number.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

Hard to answer this one for someone who met their wife on their very first trip.
The technical response being ZERO trips before meeting them.

Also the number of trips made can be moot as quality always outweighs quantity.

Ah, but in my case, at least, I had to actually fly to Russia to meet her. So
for me, technically, it was 1/2 a trip, if we're talking full round trips.

GoodOlBoy, tfcrew & I need a ruling here. I voted 1-4, the closest choice to fact.

I understand the intent of the poll but it leaves a bit to be desired and I'm another one who doesn't quite fit.  My first trip to the FSU was to meet the woman who subsequently became my wife.  I think you need to divide it further into 1 and 2-4 and perhaps ask how many trips we made before we became engaged to our now wives.

Thanks Vaughn.  :)

I added a small adjustment (round up) to the definitions to cover your question.

Sorry, I read the question wrong and answered 25+ when my correct answer should be 1 (yes, the first trip).  Maybe Dan can alter the results.

I still think 1-4 is too wide a margin as there is a significant difference between the fly in, get engaged and fly out types as opposed to those who made four trips.

I agree, Scott. On my fourth trip I was already married three years to the lady I met on my first trip.

I agree, for me it was 4.
