and probably some i am forgetting. i love to travel! thats what life is about for me... "experiences" - new places, new people, new foods, new cultures. i will never stop travelling. i grew up in a town in Alaska where even to this day, most people i went to school with have still never been more than 100 miles from their house. it just seems so sick and wrong to me. i have relatives whos biggest event in the week is driving 5 miles to the grocery store to buy food. its really bizarre.

on my list are:

Iceland
Greece
China (Shanghai looks kinda interesting)
Hong Kong
Japan
Egypt

lol, well they are Sulfur baths..the victorians thought they were healthy and made a travel destination on them...though of course the romans were there first. I didn't take a dip so I doubt that is what made me sick. Jus that weird fresh air thing.

You're being way too nice. ;-)[/b][/quote]
hahahha Colin,

Funny you say that, because thats the excuse most
girls give me.

WTF is up with that?

I'm going to Amsterdam next month! I'm so excited :)


Sabby:)

I wasn't stationed there... I visited for a week or 3... :)

But yep... in Kef, the NATO base right next to the airport :)

Its true. It's not an excuse.

Complimenting a girl too much when you first meet her puts her in a position where she knows she is above you. If she knows she OWNS you, you are screwed.

(All Bell Curve rules apply ;-) )

That ice-golfing in Greenland is crazy! :zoinks:

yes, you gotta compliment her to death and kill her with your intelligence for a balanced attack
;-)))

always works for me!

A balanced attack is ALWAYS good :okthumb:

Colin,
I am too ashamed to post in public forum what some people consider as "balanced attack"
;-)))

definitions VARY!
;_)))

I am more of a tropical island girl but I do love the mountains. The King Pacific Resort looks like something I’d enjoy. I prefer quiet and wilderness, few people and more natural settings. I loved the Adirondacks when I lived there. Alaska is defiantly on my list. I’m buying land off the coast of Panama which is really tropical but that’s partly due to the tax advantages and retirement discounts that offer. I’m not retiring yet but I will one day.

I love all the islands, West Indies, Netherlands Antilles, all of them.

I want to plan a trip next year and thinking about Figi Islands but my girlfriend wants to go to Thailand. JR can you tell me if you’ve been to Figi and how it compares to Thailand? When you were there where did you stay? Can you recommend anything? We like mountains and water. She climbs. Nothing too busy.

Also I there anyone here who has been to Alaska and knows of a company that rents cabins in the wilderness? There are places online but I’d like to know about one that someone actual recommends.

My son and brother went 5 years ago and rented an RV for 10 days. My brother travels extensively (the benefits of being single for 36 years and working for a company who flew him around 1-2 times a week where he accrued FF miles AND getting 4-6 vacation weeks a year, hehehe) and STILL says it was the best trip he's been on. My son LOVED it also and both want to go back. That's on my list of places to go, but I don't want to go by myself - we need to put together a webmaster trip there. :)

MissEve lives there so hopefully she'll pop in and give some ideas of places to stay and see.

Peaches thank you. I use to own a 33 foot motor home, really nice and tarded it for the park model I have in Key Largo. I really miss it. It certainly is an option but I think for Alaska I'd prefer a nice cabin by a stream where I can fish and build fires right outside my door.

Instead of getting another motor home I would seriously consider a nice houseboat. Florida is a great place to have a houseboat because we have all these waterways that can get you from one side to the other. I'm only a few minutes from the Caloosahatchee River which goes from Atlantic to the Gulf, big ass boats go through there. Once over in the Gulf there are hundreds of islands and places to go. Houseboats are really a lot of fun. Any of you Tampa boys, Mike, Sharky- should think about renting on and crusing the coast.

Americans don't have a problem traveling to Cuba. The problem comes in the fact that without clearance from the state department you just aren't allowed to spend any money.

It's a very workable situation if you think about it, BT from TCG just went a month or two ago.

I want a one day walking tour of Newark, NJ

hook me up

Do you know if he flew there directly from the USA or if he had to arrive by way of Canada or a Caribbean country?
*edit: or Mexico?

Dianna,

If you ever decide to come up get in touch with me and I will give you all the info :) This is my favorite place to stay http://www.trcabins.com
its not super remote but its close to fishing in every direction, salmon in the river or the ocean and clamming! :)

It is eerily silent there, I sleep sooooo good! The cabins are beautiful log cabins with modern amenities and the people who own the cabins are great hosts. Only 100 bucks a night!

MsEve thank you. It looks great. I will definately look into it. No way I'm going in the winter but maybe next summer. When is the best time to go when it's sunny but still cool?

The cabins look great.

Next summer I plan on living in Vancouver. Also going to take a trip up to Alaska, maybe take a cruise up. KC offered his "special" twin bed.

Red flags and lights at CSIS just went off.

I think I hear a siren in the distance too. :D
