World travel

[achris]

I'm curious as to the amount of travel people do. I see a lot of posts about world events and politics, but how many of us are actually out there in the world, as opposed to being 'lounge chair' critics.

And of course I appreciated the California comment . . . I've been in your neck of the woods before and was nice . You ever been here? <br /><br />I think my count is over 20 right now.

QC,<br /><br />Yes, I was there in 1986 and again in 2001, and very much enjoyed it. Went to a place called Big Bear Lake (1986) and throught it was just wonderful. <br /><br />I've just listed mine and it's up to 26. The boss wants me to go to Indonesia at the end of the month, that'll be #27. <br /><br />Were you on the East coast of Oz or the good side?<br /><br />Chris............

Re: World travel

Oh, Ive been on both sides three times. You were diving (I thought in Indonesia?) a few weeks back and I was saying Hi.<br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=009827 Get Reel and I have talked since. <br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=009865 <br />Have a common friend there I think. I was saying how Perth is the only place I have been to so far that I would consider moving to, including all of the rest of the US. I am definitely in love with this place, but Perth is a close second. I have spent a lot of time in Big Bear, and it is one of the reasons LA is soo perfect in my book. Skiing and a little boating there. We've got a 3500 meter high mountain right there, less than 75 miles from the Pacific. Pretty amazing.<br /><br />I've boated up the Swan a couple of times and will try and bum a trip to Rotto next time over. The river is what makes Perth special as compared to L.A. I have to pull my boat for 4 - 5 hours to play in a river like that. Good on ya mate.

I was actually working and it was in the Philippines. I'm currently visiting my GF in Kamchatka, Russia. It's summer here (if you can call 20 degrees C summer) and the contrast to when I was here in winter (skiing) is unbelievable!

Re: World travel

Just thought it was an interesting statistic that is related to the thread topic. That's all. No hidden agenda. How are you? I'm good. I'm leaving now. Bye.
