Where have you been? (As in visited)

[Raptorman]

Latest trip. I just got back the other day. Prague in the Czech Republic, 7-day side trip to Greece, 3 days in Athens and 4 on the beach. Then back to Prague and the kid and I did a day trip to Dresden.

Stopped in Iceland to refuel on the way back so I can put them down as a placed I stopped.

It is a set up OP is a travel agent. Viking fans are sneaky that way.

Nope. Not a chance. Just well-traveled.

This thing is huge. And it only took them 9 years to build it and another 2 to finish the carvings.

I went to college with a guy from Iceland. He told me so many interesting things about the culture there... so interesting I still think about them today.

Apparently their language is the most difficult language to learn on the planet.

I haven't done a whole lot of traveling in my life but I did take one trip as a child I will always remember. My little brother, my parents, my grandmother, who financed the trip, and I took the trip.
In July 1963 we left California on a Lockeed Constellation and arrived in New York City with one stop in Chicago. We then boarded the Queen Mary and sailed to South Hampton in England. I remember leaving New York Harbor and watching the Statue of Liberty as we went by. I also celebrated my 9th birthday on that voyage.
I don't remember much of London except Picadilly Circus and the guards in front of Buckingham Palace with their tall "bearskin" hats.
Then it was off to Paris on a Boeing 727 and I remember a great deal of that part of the trip. First I remember seeing a billboard advertising the movie Lawrence of Arabia and asking my mom if we could go see that. She said no and I asked why not. Because it's in French, end of discussion. We went to the Louvre and had onion soup in a sidewalk cafe that you needed a knife to cut the cheese in the bottom of the bowl. I also had a hot dog at the base of the Eiffle Tower with my 9 year old taste buds not being ready for the mustard on that thing. We also took in a circus act but I don't know if it was the Cirque du Soleil or not.
Then off to Switzerland by train and old castles, then dinner by Lake Geneva, followed by a bus ride down into Germany with a tour guide who told us if we were frightened, we should close our eyes like the bus driver did! There was an older American man at the back of the bus that I talked football with and he told me the Eagles were no good anymore after winning the championship two or three years before. (I became a Rams fan in '65 or '66 when George Allen took over).
Once in Germany we took a barge ride down the Rhine with more old castles on its banks to collect tolls back in the day and then we were in Holland.
While in Amsterdam we took in Anne Franks hiding place and played miniature golf. Lots of bicycle riding and canals.
We finished our roughly 3 week trip in Copenhagen where I saw my first cigar smoking woman ever while walking in a park. We also took in Tivoli Gardens and the Little Mermaid statue.
We flew home from Copenhagen in a Boeing 707 with a stop over for fuel in Greenland so I can say I've been there too.
40 or so years later, after 9/11, I needed to get a passport for a family trip to Mexico. I couldn't locate my birth certificate, so my mom let me use the old family passport we used in 1963 as I.D. The woman behind the counter at the Post Office lit up with a smile when I told her what I was using for I.D. and asked which of the two small boys in picture was me. I showed her and that was good enough, somewhat to my amazement.

@norcalramfan the circus act you saw may have been a similar theatrical performance, but cirque du soleil was founded in the 1980s and is Canadian.

Shut-In. Get off the couch every once in a while!

FFS how do you all afford all this travel?

I've been 1) where I lived, 2) where the Army sent me, and 3) broke.

 

[Memento]

I've mostly visited Pennsylvania. That's where one of my best friends since preschool lives. Illinois, obviously. Been to Destin, Florida, Ixtapa in Mexico, Utah, Colorado (by far my favorite place), Arkansas...and that's pretty much it.

Shit, forgot about Indiana and Ohio. We had Thanksgiving gatherings there. Also Maryland when I went on a road trip with my Pennsylvania friend, her husband, and her brother. It was fun.

Hahahaha. Maybe if I had spent a little less time in Rio. Everyone seemed to head there and it wound up being a huge sausage fest. I don't have much game to begin with, so picking up a local was pretty slim, but even the "workers" were probably too busy due to all the dudes flooding in to the city at that time.
