    Bob/PKB

    FISH-O

    ...meetcha on the roof....yessss!
    Bob/PKB

    Excellent! Could it be any more beautiful!

    I've been to the States, but the country i would really like to travel around is Canada, i been told the scenery and culture is second to none, maybe when i retire.

    You would be welcome. We have everything. Large cities yet lots of open spaces and we also love you people with accents! LOL!!

    Okay, I would like to visit down under. At least I have a few friends there. If I  have the money to visit then I would have the money to travel the whole continent………..

    Tommyh

    You do have at least one friend here Julie.And you will be most welcome.
    bulletman

    Same here jules, the Americans were very generous towards me, it would be an honour to reciprocate.

    While I would really love to travel the US at my leisure, I have a dream to spend about six weeks at an Italian villa in Tuscany.    I'm hoping to get a place with lots of bedrooms, and have family and friends help pay for the villa for the time they will spend there.  With enough bedrooms, people can come and go for the duration, although I (and my sister) want the full six weeks. I want to ride a bicycle through the wine country, shop at local markets, enjoy peacefulness in the Italian countryside, take trips to Florence, Venice..


    By the way, if you are interested, let me know and I'll schedule your visit and reserve your room!

    I'm hearing such great ideas. I want to come. However, it sounds like it's not in our budget. That would be sooo great.
    Bob: Have you received email from me. The contact people will not give out email addresses anymore. I don't know why. Those that remain seem good, solid citizens.
    I'll ask them
    digger

    Great choice, BOB. Maybe I'll book one of your rooms and act as your interpreter, no charge.
    itsmee

    Things are moving right along .... : )
    Bob/PKB

    Itsmee, yes, and I will write back this evening.
    Digger, that is a great idea. Can I hold you to it?
    digger

    Where do I sign?
    Bob/PKB

    You're in. I'll let you know....it might be awhile, as I won't take off from my mom that long and I hope she's around for a lot longer.
    mycatsmom

    You must have read, "Under the Tuscan Sun " I saw the movie, but my cuz read the book.
    Bob/PKB

    mcm, the movie Eat, Pray, Love motivates me towards this trip. BUT, I'll look for that book
    Ducky

    Moderator
    I saw (and loved) both of those movies..."Eat, Pray, Love" and "Under the Tuscan Sun". Certainly does make you want to see it first hand.
    digger

    That makes 3 of us now, Bob.
    Bob/PKB

    I was looking up villas in Tuscany and they rent for about 1500 Euro per week, which is about $2025 USD today. Is this something we can all handle? (I think I have 3-4 people interested here).
    Ducky

    I would like to come too but only if Mr. Digger will pay my share. Why? Canadian cousins eh?
    digger

    @Ducky. The time has come for you to sell a few of your Apple and Nortel shares.

    So suddenly, our "Canadian Connection" matters not?
    digger

    Is THIS what our relationship has metamorphosized into? MY money and YOUR repeated insults.
    Ducky

    Moderator
    I thought you might have enjoyed offering me an all-expenses-paid-vacation-under-the-Tuscan-sun...just because I'm Canadian, but oh no. You're never happy, are you? <sigh>

    Kenya,the national park ,to see al the Wild life before it all dissapears,

    bulletman

    If the wild life dos'nt kill ya, yhe locals will, it would been fantastic the early part of the last century, before poaches and civil wars.
    hector5559

    Yes i know its so sad,the way they are killed,and for the reasons,
    Tommyh

    I have to agree with Bullet.Too much unrest in that country.It's a damn pity really.
    sunnyB

    Sounds like a great idea Dennis, when I win the Lotto, can I join you.

    I would like to travel around England and Ireland with my headquarters being located in Scotland, somewhere near "The Old Course".     :)

    I smell a rat!

    I've seen The U.S.,Mexico,New Zealand & a couple of S.E.Asian countries but we won't go into that.


    Canada interests me very much but it would have to be a summer vacation.(I can't stand the cold!!!)

    bulletman

    I'm like you Tom regarding the cold , i 'm been told it is Canada at its best in winter.
    Tommyh

    We certainly didn't have a cold Labour Day up here today.It got up near 40 deg.C.
    How was yours mate?
    bulletman

    A cloudless day, warm at 23c -- a beautiful day, 26c tomorrow.
    mycatsmom

    Were you in Vietnam, Tom, around in 1966 ish ?
    lindilou

    Tommyh you would love the cruises on the west coast...go from Victoria BC or Vancouver all the way up to Alaska and back...really something extraordinary...
    Tommyh

    We have considered that very cruise Lindy.It's advertised on TV here all the time.
    lindilou

    It is absolutely stunning....all the way baby..from start to finish...I much recommend it for your lady and yourself!! ;)
    Ducky

    @Bulletman..."Canada at its best in winter"? The only Canadians who say that, are the ones who prefer skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, etc. The ones like me (golfers) wait in anticipation for March to arrive and hate to see October. I also prefer summer. :)
    lindilou

    ...winter golfing on the island miss Ducky! Bring an umbrelly! lol
    Ducky

    Moderator
    lindi...Did you say golf?...winter?
    Oh and umbrelly...um...no. :(
    lindilou

    Dang pineapple express anyhoo...Maui must have a nice course..I'll start building the Kontiki and come up round the coast and then we'll head due south maybe do a little time in the carib islands and slowly make our way thru the panama canal, do a little alligator target practice with the balls and finally break out into the wide open Pacific and catch the drift over to the hawaiian group..it should only take about 3 years...LOL See ya soon xo ;D

    I'll start to pack my 17 suitcases. lol

    Ever since I was 12, I've wanted to go to Europe, but I never had anyone to go there with ! And I still don't.!  Even tho my late husband's siblings all went to Sicily .the original  home of their parents,......he never seemed interested in going   :-(   I want to see the whole ball of wax of Europe from Scandanavia to the  U K right down to Greece and the romance lands......that means, of course, Italy and it's little sattalites......Sicily and Sardinia. After I'm done with that exhausting trip, I want to see Australia . Sorry about the minor spelling errors. I don't have spell check.......except on email.


     

    hector5559

    I will be waiting to greet you,m/c/m
    Tommyh

    Nice to see you have it in the right order.
    See the rest,then come see the best. :)
    mycatsmom

    Thx for the positive feedback, hector and Tommy ♥ ♥
    lindilou

    ...meet you in Greece on the rooftop for lunch mcm!
    hector5559

    How is Storm??
    lindilou

    She is resting comfortably at the intensive care unit Hector5559 and she is on morphine but very vocal and grumpy cuz of the dope...told the nurses to shush it a few times as they are too loud for her ears right now and sadly they've just rolled a screaming baby into the unit so hoping they settle that baby down for my girl's sake...I advised to plug her ears so they'll try that....I just got to hotel so I can sleep but may have to go back with music for her...we'll see... thanks for asking honey. 8O

    @lindi...reminds me of my mother (in her 80's at the time) whenever she had to be in the hospital. She told off a nurse or two everyday...something like this. "WHY DON'T YOU SCREAM A LITTLE LOUDER! IF WE WEREN'T DEAF WHEN WE ARRIVED, WE SURE WILL BE BY THE TIME WE LEAVE HERE! BE QUIET!!!" (I didn't blame her at all.) lol
    Bob/PKB

    Hope Storm's off the dope real soon, lindi, and on her way out of the ICU.
    The hospital is NOT the best place for peace and quiet in recuperation.

    I would like to visit the USA, Iv'e been to most of Europe, so now would like to travel further, Australia as well. The chances are pretty slim though, shortage of money. In the mean time I can dream and hope for a little win on the lotto.

    Ireland.

    hector5559

    They say Wexford is nice this time of year,Witchway,
    itsmee

    Australia to visit my son and daughter-in-law ~ I'll probably wait cuz they'll be back in the U.S. in two years.
    I'll meet you in Ireland, witchway.
    itsmee

    And Canada!
    sunnyB

    Lovely Place, and loveley people too.

    Sweden and Scotland. Family stuff.


    I walked around via Google Earth the other day. I must go to Sweden in the next 10 years!
