In 2008 I spent Christmas on a cruise ship in New Zealand and Australia. When I was on the ship, I met a cute guy named Paul and found out that he lived in LA (a few hours north of my home). We hung out the whole time on the ship and when we got home we instantly started dating. For six months we commuted back and forth from our houses to hang out every weekend. Then six months later, he moved in to a guesthouse two doors down from my house!! We dated for a year and never spent over a week apart from each other.

The weirdest part was that he remembers seeing me in LAX airport before we even left the states for the trip! Each of our families got on two different planes and without knowing, both headed to New Zealand. My family arrived in New Zealand and ended up staying in the same hotel as Paul'​s family where he saw me once again! Five days later we got on the cruise ship where we finally got to meet each other.
