    I've never been anywhere I would really want to spend an entire month (two weeks is all I can take of one place). I would have to split it up in two parts. First two weeks at the International Space Station and the last two weeks in the Galapagos Islands. Or maybe just a balloon ride around the world stopping off at various locations.

    Just as a side note, The Galaoagos trip is 20 hours a day on the boat with up to 4 hours exploring the desolate, bird dung infested island and cave systems. I'm even a scuba diver, and it still was not my cup of tea.

    Hawaii in general, Maui in specific if I can't island hop (and yes Keiko, I WILL miss you . . . and sorry but, Maui just does it for me because Maui no ka 'oi!)

    That sounds awesome. Never really researched this trip, just talking out of my **** really. Sounds like if I went I would be in a world of shi&,lol. Thanks for the heads up. Guess I will look at some turtles at the frickin' pet store, or either carry a bottle of liquid **** with me that I bought off of Ebay and every time I get the urge to visit I will just pop the top. Now come to think of it the space station is kinda stupid as well. All kinds of shi& problems there as well. Ah, F it, I will just get put into an induced coma and when I wake up you all can tell me what a great time I had.:wink:

    I'd beat you stupider than you already are with an argyle sock full of wet noodles and gerbils and then cram you in to doro's closet with Face.

    I'm keeping the French Maid outfit though.

    If you get to keep the French Maid outfit, can we just cram the gerbils in the closet with Face and Doro and call it even ?

    For me it would have to be Alaska, New Zealand, or Patagonia fly fishing. Or maybe Mongolia for taimen, or Belize for tarpon ,bonefish, snook, and permit, or South America for Peacock Bass, or Northern Montana for bulltrout, or Texas for largemouths, or Kentucky/Tennessee/Alabama for smallmouth, or Minnesota for Pike, Walleye or Muskie, or on the Hooch or Flint for shoal bass, or the Southern Appalachans for brooktrout................Aw hell, just about anywhere in the world fishing!

    I think, however, that that violates John's parameters?
