Traveling over seas - where have you been? | |
monkeyboy Fish Addict Posts: 521 Kudos: 375 Votes: 223 Registered: 10-Apr-2005 | wish-ga, here you go, sorry it took so long to answer in another thread. But I'm off to Sao Paulo Brazil for 3 weeks in June. I'm moving some work for my company there, lucky me no, I am not going to be losing my job, as we are getting alot of new business. But it is all expenses paid (except for what gift shopping I can do). And we are not going into the jungle areas, to dangerious. I'm taking as little as possible, mainly digital camera, iPod (borrowed from grandpa ), and clothes of course. Should be getting laptop from work very soon. And I've been trying to get my hands on more memory for my digital camera (Sony DSC-P50). But no luck so far, as it wont use the secure media or anything new. Kinda long flights. Almost 4 hours to Dallas from Detroit. then about 11 hours from Dallas to Sao Paulo. Only good thing about the flight, is that I get paid while I'm flying. Lucky for me, I dont have to worry about my fishes , room mate is skilled in taking care of them. I'll post some pics when I get back. Fish tanks are an expensive addiction |

I think that's all of them... ooh and Ireland ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions |

Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004 | I forgot about Canada but when I lived in MI it was just a drive across a bridge to go there. The spouse is also from Canada and I lived there for almost a year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

kitten Fish Guru Meow? Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003 | I barely squeaked into Canada on my birth certificate when I went. Didn't help that when I got an extra copy, the stupid official people didn't put the seal thingy on it. (Yes, I sound so articulate, don't I?) For the sake of some prettily crimped paper, I almost didn't get onto my flight. I really should get my passport, because I WANT to travel, but got no money for it (or for traveling, for that matter), so I guess I'm stuck here in the Chi. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~ |

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003 | I've been to every US state except Alaska (I think), but I've never been out of the country. I have tons of family in south Louisiana (Acadiana), so that's where I go the most. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

So far I've been to the USA, Mexico, Belize, US Virgin Islands (St Thomas), Netherlands Antilles (St Maarten), Bahamas, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and Papua New Guinea.
