I love to travel around let's say in my country, continent and worldwide.

Michele 1 #2 March 21, 2004 I've adored travelling when I could, and go where-ever I could. My next goal is Ireland, and then Italy, and then maybe the middle east - Israel, specifically, and perhaps Jordan. The only thing I don't like is not having laundry facilities....but I can handle that mostly.

When they came and asked if we wanted Vodka or Dom Champagne, we said "yes"...I can't begin to tell you how tanked we were after 11 hours of power drinking.

nebula 0 #16 March 21, 2004 I traveled from Europe, France to west Africa where I lived over 2 years and learned much and enjoyed my inner self. Then from there to East Africa "Abidjan" Ivory Cost to "Joanesburg: South Africa. Man what a journey, what a pleasare compare to my poorly minded life now here in San Diego. I used to live in NY before SD after my trip do Africa ; What a difference between states, its amazing. I love traveling and learn about culture. Yes I do travel because of my job but as an independant contractor I am enjoying it better... that is my 2+ 2 cents and my venting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skylord 1 #17 March 21, 2004 I currently travel 140,000 to 180,000 miles a year, and have been in the last year to DC several times, Boston, Seattle, Anchorage, San Francisco, Phoenix, Key Largo, Buenos Aires, London, and as I write this, Hong Kong. I like traveling, and although nearly all of it is on business, I try to take a couple days to see sights and relax. I'm all jet lagged right now. It is 2 am at home, and only 6 pm here. Plus I have to wait for my grad dive until I get home. Oh, well. It is great to see the world and eat strange food like octupus tentacles.

freeflir29 0 #19 March 21, 2004 Yep........Love it. Been around the world a few times while working for the US govt in several differen't capacities. One place I haven't been but would really like to visit is South Africa. One place I have NO desire to EVER visit again is ANYWHERE in the Middle East or Southwest Asia (North Africa too!). I didn't leave anything there and have no desire to go back. Well......unless there is an OBSCENE amount of money involved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheenster303 0 #20 March 21, 2004 I love traveling but I never get time to do it! I'm so interested in traveling the country right now, but maybe later I'll expand into the world. There is only a couple of places I want to go outside of the country and that is to Ireland and Spain. I'm not very much of a world-traveling person. I'd rather drive to where I want to go and just do it leisurely and find things alongside the road that look cool. Can't do that when you are crossing over the ocean in an airplane. Maybe my views will change on that whenever I ride on a commercial airplane for the first time. But for now, I'm sticking to taking the US by storm by driving through it.I'm so funny I crack my head open! P.M.S. #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christelsabine 1 #23 March 21, 2004 Oh yeah! nearly best thing on earth Europe is so small (not only Switzerland, Germany too is just a spot), lived in CAN/BC, GB, lived in Far East for nearly 10 years and miss it a lot! life w/o travelling is boring. and even the trip to the destination mostly is fun. my last trip to Hongkong was exceptional funny! the lady next to me was from Macao. we started with ordering champagne and playing cards.... nearly 13 hrs of pure fun w/o sleeping. I'll never forget that trip. 2 days later, i went to Korea and upon arrival, i was arrested and spent one night in jail. by mistake of our company's travel agency. i just was married 2nd time but, ticked showed my former name. SwissAir didn't mind, just put a sticker on it. but Korean Air! i will never forget the white gloves and the special smell of garlic in Korea ! it was the local SwissAir manager, who rescued me after one night in jail that's life and the trip to my clostest DZ: pure fun too! looking forward to next jump, looking into the sky, great! life is a journey, and every single stop is worth to be seen. it only needs to move. and i will go on dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themitchyone 0 #24 March 21, 2004 I love traveling when I can whether it be a road trip to Vegas or down the coast, another region in the country, or another country if I can. England has been my biggest trip so far. I've been to Hawaii twice, but now that I'm a skydiver I'd like to skydive there someday."If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
