Hi Cheri,
You may want to try "advanced mode" navigation to get your characters to meet up. I usually choose some part of Main Street USA. If you check off the advanced mode box on the map screen, you will be given a list of the various instances for the room you want to enter. Have both characters choose the same one (such as Main Street East North East) - and voila! you will be in the same room. Then I make my mule my friend so my mule can follow me to one of my rooms to trade without the extra chatter going on around them.
Does that help? If not, please feel free to ask for more help.
