How many of you went to your 10 year high school reunion?

I didn't go to my tenth but just went to my 20th and it was a blast. It was great to see how everyone had changed. Mine was $50 as well, and I think it was worth it. Heck, I paid $300 to fly out there!

Oddly, I haven't kept in touch with ANYONE from the reunion, but I imagine the next time I'm back in my hometown I might look a couple of folks up.

It'll be awhile before I get any HS reunion invites (and I hope that they don't locate me to send me one) but I'm not going even if they pay me to travel halfway across the country. I hated most of the people who went there while I was under the radar for the most part, I get did treated like crap by many of the people I knew and I have no desire to get in touch with them ever again. Given the way they treated me when I was in HS, I can't imagine what they would think of me now or by the time they have a 10 year reunion.

Bottom line is, I'm over HS and the only reason why I would travel to that area again is to see my family (although apart from my immediate, I'm also concerned how they would treat me if they saw me now)

I still live in my hometown, so traveling's not an issue. My wife and I went to my ten year reunion. All the guys partied their (our) asses off (my wife hung with us). All the girls had already married and were showing off their husbands and babies. It was ok...

At our twenty year reunion, more people had families, and it was a tad more mellow. But, there wasn't much time to really sit an visit with people with all the partying at the main event Sunday night. I was very busy with work, so I didn't get to hang out that much. Also, at a Saturday lunch event, where people brought their kids to swim and picnic, the first five families there were people who lived here in our hometown. I thought that was ironic, because we don't really keep up with each other.

A couple of sappy classmates want to have a 25 year reunion, but I'm not up for it. Like many of you have said, I keep up with my closest friends. High school wasn't the greatest time in the world for me.

I'm having this debate also. They are organizing ours now. Will probably be in the next few months. But we live in NM right now and the reunion is in IN. Can't decide. Some of my best friends are people I met in high school (though a few of them were not friends of mine until college). Myself and one of my friends are very social. It's a challenge to be around people you don't care for or used to not like and enjoy their presence. It can be fun. He and his wife will be going but not sure if we will. Our family is in IN so we'd get to visit them too. But I'd really hate to wear a suit....actually that would probably eliminate me from going.....I'm a t-shirt & jeans person.
