So I did what all the US corporations are doing: outsource the organizing to Carnival. In other words, I booked a cruise. Alone. Did it have the "magic" I was looking for? Hell, yes! I was floored by how socially forgiving a cruise ship environment was, and to an aspie man to boot. It had a very upbeat, lively crowd, and provided me the kind of aspie-friendly party I wanted. With no organizing on my part, other than buying plane tickets and getting to the airport on time.
OK, can I say that this is all kinds of freaking awesome! This is a terrific example of how to manage things without lowering expectations - and good for you!
