Alright...where should I go on vacation this year? Any suggestions?
Last year I went to Ireland which was an interesting experience. Need to do something different this time.
-
Lake Bohinj in Slovenia.
-
Niger. They have giraffes!
-
Moscow, just for the hell of it.
-
A friend of mine just got back from Hawaii-- said it was awesome but expensive.
-
Two places I've been and liked: Anchorage and the Cayman Islands.
-
Anywhere but California, because we won't be here soon. :P
-
Tokyo.
-
I'll be going to Dayton Air Force base in about a week. They've got some neat stuff there. But I forget where you live, and if it's anywhere >100mi away from Dayton, it probably won't be worth it. :p
-
well one of my favorite places to go for vacation is Canada, but somehow I don't think that would be appropriate in this situation.
-
Not this time of year, anyway. Unless you like slush.
Try Mexico maybe. I heard it's nice and warm, and cheap.

It's also not very safe right now...
-
Ever considered Singapore, IceFire? :nervous:
-
You could got to Miami. The weather is great.

Been there three times already :)

Haha...well yes I'm already there although its a big country and I haven't yet seen the West Coast.
-
Why not come to Memphis and enjoy our awful rainy winters, ugly architecture, urban sprawl, 9.25% sales tax, and high crime rate? :P
-
come to raleigh NC and come and get smashed with me n my friends for battlestar night.
its just as good as real vacation, except its cheap
-
Eh, Raleigh.
If you're going to vacation in North Carolina at least go to Hatteras.
-
Niger. They have giraffes!
Kenya. They have lions!
Alternatively, Ireland. I went there about 12 years ago and it was really cool. I'd like to visit the rest of the British Isles at some point too.
-
The Canadian Rockies are a hell of a skiing vacation if you're into that kind of thing although the snow is teh ****s this year
-
Silly Goober, he's already been there. :p
-
Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Souel, and Tokyo are all good places to visit.
-
Switzerland! If you don't have altitude sickness. :yes:
Alternatively, China! But don't stay there for long. The people there will make you go crazy. :mad:
Venice! It's almost gone. :sigh:
-
Alternatively, Ireland.
He's been to Ireland.
-
The Maldives.
...we have fish.
-
go wherever you feel better... I would choose some lovely shores, maybe Ibiza or Hawaii.. or something like that... no freaking excursions to nowere I would just wake up at 10 am and go to the beach staying there the whole day.
-
AUSTRALIA!
We're totally intolerant of anyone who doesn't speak English AND we get drunk on a regular basis! :lol:
Not but really, beaches here are wonderful, recommend you go with another person (at least), but that's just me, I hate the idea of being alone.
If you're into cheap stuff and good beaches, go to Koh Chang, in Thailand, can be expensive, but the place is just awesome, spent some of the best 5 days of my life staying at a resort there. But the place is **** hot, bring plenty of shirts with you....or just buy them there, as I said, everything is cheap and the clothes even reflect that by shrinking after the first wash ;)

Ignore him, you'd be better off locking yourself in a bathroom and smashing your head against the tile.
-
Kenya. They have lions!
HOLY **** A LION GET IN THE CAR!

Spend this vacation on going to live in Ireland, and THEN decide where you want to go to on vacation, if you still want to ;).
In other words, Ireland is awesome.
If you are looking for something completely different, go to Amsterdam, with it's canals, paintings, drug shops, window-prostitution, and MASSES of pidgins near the national monument. Seriously. You won't be able to see the ground thanks to all the pidings there. I'll upload a picture if I can find it.
---
On a more serious note, Vietnam appears to be quite awesome too, so going off to Asia for the landscapes and Tigers ;) might be a good idea too.
-
I stayed in Amsterdam for a long time...
I don't remember much of it, but that was very special experience.
I remember being a human perch in Venice. =/
Damn there were a lot of pigeons.

I dunno.....I think I may have watched too much Tropic Thunder to consider going there.
-
But that wasn't Vietnam....
-
Here you go

This is off the internets, I remember taking a lot of pictures of a lot MORE pidgins, but you get the idea.
-

"Myanmar. Maybe Lao".

Well the whole Cambodia/Vietnam drug smuggling thing is closely related...
anyyyywaaaaay
that's a ****load of pidgeons you've got there
-

Yeah, I was being facetious. Next time I'll add a smiley. :)
-
AUSTRALIA!

Australia is on my must do list...but I'd want more time then I currently have in vacation.
I agree about traveling with someone you know and all that.
-
The Maldives.
...we have fish.
Do you live in the Maldives? That's sweet.
-
Come to Texas. Eat BBQ. Go see the Alamo.
-
Come to Florida. See the beautiful beaches and enjoy the perfect weather. Go to clubs and spas.
-
Unfortunately the Alamo and the Riverwalk are just about all that's worth seeing in San Antonio. :p I can't speak for the rest of Texas but I did spend almost half a year living in that particular city.
-
Yellowstone, you can watch the stoopid tourists trying to take a picture with a Buffalo/Elk/Bear. Oh, and the Geysers are cool too.

Oh, and how's that been working out for them? :pimp:

Yeah.
It's kinda boring.

I'm pretty sure the temperature here would kill 'em even with the aircon and the ice etc. Its been 8 years since I've been to the zoo.

Not quite the font size I was expecting. ;)

They're even bigger in person. :nod: That one is actually pretty average size-wise. they get a whole lot bigger.

I live in Canada and haven't seen one either :)
They aren't around every block or anything like that :D
-
I live in NC and I see them all the time. We have a polar bear reserve a few miles out of town.
-
I've been to churchill MB a few times and around there they are around every corner :shaking:
-
If you do visit California, and it just might be possible after all if the state government gets their **** together at last, I recommend Monteray, south of San Francisco. I've visited San Fran and it's not worth it, but Monteray has the aquarium, and the area is actually pretty nice, in a somewhat outdoorsy way.
-

Well I never exactly put polar bears on the top of my list of Canadian stereotypes.

Really? I've always thought that all Canadians were polar bears. :\
-
Nah, Canadians all have beady eyes and their heads flap around when they talk. Also, they're all given hockey sticks at birth and in Canadian (not English, they're different), normal punctuation can be substituted with "Eh" at any time.
Also, IceFire, if you do decide to go to Monterey in the next couple of months, let me know--I'm stationed at the Presidio there until June. :)

Mothers of twins also get a free bottle of Crown Royal because they know just how goddamn stressful two bundles of joy at once will be.

Don't forget how 90% of Canadians are born with a rare genetic mutation that causes them to crap snow.
