We ARE friends! One set of visitors was my Lady Love's coworker Becky and her husband.

Shoot, I don't have visitors on a regular basis. My husband occasionally
has some former co-workers over during the day when I'm at work, though.

In November we had an old friend over who was in town for a few days.
Before that it had probably been 10 years since we had anybody to the

Umm... but... Oh, nevermind.

[Gary]

Same here. I'm a very social person and enjoy talking to people
while I'm out. When I get home though, my home is my castle and I
do treasure "alone time." I've always been that way too, not just
a grumpy old man now. heheh

My favorite at home social connections are emails and newsgroups.
I hate out of the blue telephone calls. I always let the
answering machine do it's job. And I keep my ringer off so I
don't hear when someone calls so no...I don't run to the
answering machine to listen to someone leaving a message. I just
glance at it once in a while to see if any messages, then I'll
listen.

My only regular phone conversations are to my Mom once a week for
about 2 hours. Only then because she prefers real voice calls
over emails, etc.

I prefer to visit others rather them visit me.
This way, I can end it by leaving when I'm tired of it.
They show up here and it often drags on way longer than
I want....unless I just stand up and announce,
"GET OUT! GET THE HELL OUT....*NOW*!!!!! >:-O" heheh

But no...I just sit there nicely and say nothing.
I'm a social wuss I suppose. I don't like offending friends.

[John Kuthe]

ROFL!!!

That was one solution Bryan and I came up with, years ago! You know how when someone is visiting you and they announce "Well, I think I'd better get going!"? Well, we DECIDED that the HOST should also have such an option, so we decided that when the host felt it was time for a guest to leave, the host could say "Well, I guess it's getting time for YOU to leave!" and the guest would of course then do so!

I have a friend that does that at least 3 times a year. Just
vacation trips that go from one to six weeks. It tires me just
thinking about that.

When I have vacation time, I like staying here and just more
beach time. That's why I moved here years ago. I don't need to
travel to where I love....I live here and only one mile from the
ocean.

I do love hearing about other areas and cultures though. My
friend that does this all the time, sends us about 20 emails,
each containint a few pics from his trips along with explanations
of each picture. He's like our private National Geo. person.

Years ago, I got two weeks paid vacation each year. The old boss
though would get really mad with me if I told him I wasn't going
anywhere...just staying home and going to the beach each day. In
his mind, why take vacation if you're not going off anywhere?
Might as well just work.

Well, I live in a vacation destination. One woman I talked to on
the beach one morning asked me where I came here from. I pointed
to my bike locked to the boardwalk railing and told her I came
from one mile down that street. She said, "It much be so nice to
live here. We saved up all year just to come here for a week and
you can come every day." It was true.

[John Kuthe]

*I* love where WE live now! Right across from UMSL. Back yard backs up to UMSL Ballfield, 5min walk to Metrolink Station, 5 min drive to/from airport! Location, location and location! 3 most important things about Real Estate!

Not at all. I don't care to waste my vacation times traveling all
over. The documentaries completely satisfy my curiousity. I
actually moved to a place that I love. :)

WTF does one talk to their elderly mother about for two hours every
week? When my parents were alive (pre PCs) we would phone each other
to keep in touch but at most once a month and a ten minute call... not
even once a month, was almost only on major holidays and birthdays,
and sometimes to arrange a visit... do you ever visit your mom, take
her out to dinner on Mother's Day?

We no longer get many visitors, most all our old friends, relatives,
and coworkers are gone, the handful still alive are in distant nursing
homes. Every few months one of my wife's knitting biddies stops in
for a cup of tea and to talk knitting for an hour, but they all see
each other every week for their meeting at the library, Sometimes a
neighbor will ring the bell but they rarely come in, around here
neighbors typically visit in the driveway. There are no sidewalks and
people don't visit indoors with muddy boots. Here the main place
where neighbors regularly congregate is at the market in town.

[lucreti...@fl.it]

I didn't really mean as vacations. Immediately after WWII we went to
HK to resume life there, then on to Japan. Along with all the other
kids I would fly back and forth to boarding school in the UK. They
discontinued those flights full of kids after one crashed on landing
at HK all kids lost. The flights were lengthy, putting down in many
places before reaching the destination. We got stuck in Damascus once
for a week, having to wait while a part was flown out before we could
be on our way again.

I travelled all over the east, sometimes because my mother wanted a
shopping trip in Singapore, or to visit her sister in Sydney.

After school in the UK I was in school in Switzerland and then on to
the Sorbonne in Paris for a couple of years.

I married a naval man and in those days, we moved. In fact, when we
came here in 1967 I had moved 14 times in 11 years.

For vacations I have driven across this continent and back three times
and many visits to various Caribbean spots. So now I like to stay put
:)

Like the Egyptian themed party in the early 1990s we had with a halloween Sarcophagus we had built and we were playing Egyptian music and an Egyptian student walking up the street came by saying "That's music from my country!"

heheh. Bruce, you Aussie turd. ;)
I live in a tourist destination. I love the ocean nearby and
that's why I moved here in 1973 and still remain here. Many
others save up all year just to come to my town for an expensive
week's vacation. Why? I have no idea. It's way too overdeveloped
now.

Anyway, I'm here and happy. In the past I've been to deserts,
mountains, boring prairies, even to completely worthless Mexico
for one day. I like seeing many other places but I'd never waste
the traveling time.

So "virtual traveling" is my friend and I can see it all without
wasting my time in airports, etc.
No need to criticize. I'm quite content here. I get totally fresh
seafood here remember. The only canned seafood that I've ever had
is the traditional tuna in a can. Fresh tuna is completely
different. :)

It's called "armchair traveling." Sit at home, eat nachos and see

in airports waiting for the canceled flights. :)

I don't need to actually travel to and stand beside Ayers Rock to
appreciate it. How about you with that one? It's your country.
Have you been there? Any urge to physically go there?

I haven't been there and I might never go there. It's a huge rock, I
believe that without seeing it for myself. I do want to see more of
Australia though. More of the tropical part, for instance.

I've always been interested in Australia. I wish you would tell
more personal stories about it. And any pictures are always a
plus too. :-D

I've heard much about it in the surfing world and their beaches
but not much else. It does sound like you have the most poisonous
and deadly animals compared to the rest of the world.

Anyway....enough internet play time. Have to go to work now,

It is almost as much of an experience to do arm chair travelling as it
is to tour Japanese style. The most common method to that seems to be
researching the things you want to see and too, book a tour that will
take you to those places. You book a year or two in advance. When you
get to the destination country they pick you up in a bus and drive you
to the first stop on the itinerary. You get out, take a picture and then
get back on the bus. The tour guides hold up their little coloured
umbrellas and herd you to the point of interest and then right back to
the bus. You get to the next stop and repeat the quick exit, photo and
return process. You can see a lot of places in a day and get a lot of
photos.

One of my favorite shows on Smithsonian channel is Ariel America.

You can see a lot on TV, especially with the big screens we can get now.
You see a lot, but the experience is not the same. I've been to about
35 states and 6 other countries. There is a difference in experiencing
the customs, the people, the history. Moving about with the locals,
shopping in the grocery stores, getting cash in a bank that has been in
business before America was discovered.

Much of the US is the same, you can walk into a grocery store in New
York or Oklahoma and see little difference, but not so in England or
Italy. I like walking down a street that is 800 years old and stopping
for a coffee in a little shop.

The falls is amazing. Sometimes on clear cold mornings I can see the

frozen onto the branches of the trees.

Watching the falls on television would be akin to trying to makes Smors

It’s

I saw the little mermaid inCopenhagen. It is little.

It true that some things are smaller than on the big screen. The Mona Lisa is small.
A friend of mine was one of 90some designers chosen to work
On the White House Christmas decorations a few years back. She was surprised that the Oval Office is much smaller than on tv; she used the
Word ‘tiny’
However, that does not hold true for the grandeur of
So many other places; Golden Gate Bridge, Eiffel Tower, etc.

I've been to Niagara Falls and enjoyed it immensely. Took a trip on one of the
'Maid of the Mist' boats but did not know we could also have ridden on one the
boats to the whirlpools. That would definitely been fun! We did book a tour
bus trip and saw many things we would have not gotten to see if not for the
tour guide; he was quite informative. Our tickets also enabled us to go to the
top of the Minolta Tower (not sure the building is called that now) and see
the falls at night with the different colored lights show. Being up many,
many stories really gave us a great view.

I was surprised that the entire White House was so much smaller than I
had expected. We were driving along and knew it was there somewhere and
almost drove right past a similar looking but much smaller than expected
building.

I guess you can't drive by there anymore.

I have never been on the Maid of the Mist. Around here it is thought of
as something that only tourists did. I even met the former owner of the
business. A few years ago we had some Dutch visitors and my wife went
with them on the boat and really enjoyed it. I was surprised how cheap
it was for the ride.

When I was there it was $8 per person and I couldn't believe how cheap it was.
Best money I've ever spent on vacation; certainly the least I've ever shelled
out.

I was wondering if it had changed the name.

One place we went on the tour bus was a botanical garden and all the workers
were horticultural students. Simply stunning is all I can say.

The Golden Gate is a most wonderful bridge. I love that bridge. My wife loves that bridge too. She used to live right next to it in the Presidio. It was an imposing presence in her life.

When my wife and our guests went a couple years ago it was $14.

There is a greenhouse near the falls and there is the horticultural
school a couple miles down stream, by the power generating station.
There is now a butterfly conservatory on the grounds.

I was in San Francisco and stayed in a hotel not far from the Presidio
and Golden Gate bridge. We tried to see it a couple times but could not
because of fog. The closest we got to seeing it was when we got lost.
We had gone straight east from the hotel to find a restaurant. We found
a place that had the best Chinese food I had ever had in my life. When
we left the restaurant I planned to make a right, a right, a right and
then a left turn to get back on Geary and straight west to the hotel but
were stymied by No Left Turn signs. Then I saw a sign for the last exit
before the bridge.

That left us driving around in the Presidio and I was totally
disoriented. The map and GPS that I handed to my wife an asked her to
stash in the glove compartment..... she had misunderstood and had taken
it up to the hotel room. It was dark and there was no one to ask for
directions. Luckily, we happened across an intersection and I could
see the hotel.

[Cindy Hamilton]

Very similar to our trip to Niagara Falls. My husband went on the
whirlpool boat ride; I took a pass because I would have had to take
off my glasses for it. While he was on the boat, I walked around the
Royal Botanical Gardens.

Walking in my local State Park, which is half swamp, one day in
the summer (not a good time to do that), I startled a water
moccasin which is poisonous. Rather then slithering away, it came
right at me at full speed. I was so close, I ran backwards for
several meters before turning around and really taking off.

I did an image search yesterday for ' Australia mountains '
I was amazed at what I saw.

Snake experts and snake lovers here always say that snakes aren't
agressive and that they'd prefer to avoid a confrontation. I'm sure
that's generally true, but not always. Especially brown snakes can be
quite territorial.

There's more to Australia than the big desert in the middle.

I got lost in the Bay Area too. I had just bought a Mazda RX2 and was trying to find my way back to my sister-in-law's place. Beats me how that was supposed to happen since I had no address and no telephone number. Later on, I would have no gas since the car was quite a thirsty beast. Of course I had no money either. Ha ha. I got back after some adventure. I was able to get some gas money because I had a $24 refund check from the Hawaiian Electric Company and found a nice bank manager willing to cash an out of state check from a dubious Asian guy.

We did go on the Golden Gate Bridge a few times. It was a little scary sometimes because of the fog and Hawaiians don't know a thing about driving in fog. Mostly though, I'd rather view that magnificent bridge from a distance.

I have driven across the Big Island and certainly encountered
low-lying clouds that are just like fog. Not that unusual up there.

Lots of fog/low-lying clouds on the road to Mauna Kea, too.

You need to be more adventurous.

"Copperheads smell like cucumbers." I find that funny.

He already does a lot of time travel, you know.

You might be right about that. I do need to be more adventurous except that my plan is to live forever so... there's that...

Driving through heavy fog is not my idea of adventure anyway. That just sounds kind of dumb to me.

I don't think it is necessary to do it as sport, but your driving
skills should be such that you can handle any emergency that arises as
safely as possible.
