Do you like to travel?
 

....'Cause I'd like to take you to Bangkok.

er...

anyway.. uh

What's the very prettiest place you've ever been?

I personally think you have to be a really boring person to not enjoy travelling.
The Netherlands is the prettiest place I have been. Amsterdam is picturesque, and the countryside is idyllic.
I love travelling within my own country too. The Scottish Highlands are glorious.

Tie between Mount Baker National Park in Washington state and Prague, Czech Republic.

I've also been to Germany, Nevada, Arizona, California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Quebec, and British Columbia.

Notable landmarks viewed include the Grand Canyon, Seattle's Museum of Flight, USS New Jersey, RMS Queen Mary, Terezin concentration camp, and the Brandenburg Gate.

Best airline I've been on is Lufthansa.

It sounds crazy but I ****ing love airports. Everything about them. If I ever get canned from my current job that the first place I'm going to look for work.

I've had the best experiences with Southwest Airlines compared to all the others I've flown on over the years, so they got my vote.

As for beauty, I've seen ugliness, blandness, and beauty everywhere I've been. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder (as the saying goes.)

I've been to various parts of England, Scotland, Wales, The Netherlands, Canada, and 38 of the 50 US states and driven across the US from coast to coast and up and down the East Coast from Maine to Florida. All of those places except for Canada, I've visited multiple times. It's a tough call, but if I have to pick only one of those places just for overall natural beauty and breathtaking scenery, I'll go with Scotland. The Scottish countryside and coastline are quite memorable to say the least.

Nice choice Psy-Fi, if I say so myself.

I figured you'd approve! :laughing:

Yellowstone National Park was really beautiful, and Amsterdam was nice after they cleaned it up in the morning, but there was something about being up in the mountains in Germany outside of Friedburg that seemed magical.

Or maybe you've done so damn much of it you're sick of it? For every one plane trip I took for a vacation I've taken about 10 for business reasons. I'd be really happy if I never had to get on an airplane ever again.

I use to love them a lot before all of the 9/11 restrictions. Always loved people watching at the gates. Folks sad to see family/friends leaving and just as many happy to see someone arriving.

Fave place I've been? Cabo.

Hard to beat Puerto Rico imo. There's something there for everyone: sick beaches, hiking in a rainforest, cool downtown places...pretty much perfect.

Been Cross country six times.North to South ,East to West.France,Italy,Switzerland,Holland Spain,Costa Rica,Morocco, Kenya,Tanzania,Nicaragua, and Canada.****in hate getting there tho.

For my money its gotta be Southwest Airlines. Delta can suck the big one. Flying to Atlanta only to fly back to Memphis? What kind of **** is that?

Best place i've ever been is Hawaii pound for pound. Europe was amazing but Hawaii is so serene and absolutely mind blowing.

Literally a twenty second walk to waikiki beach.

anyone here ever tried riding the megabus? i had some traffic court **** to clear up in fl a year or so back and i was pretty strapped so i tried the megabus. went from charlotte to miami for about 30 bucks. the only catch being that you get stranded in random cities overnight... and megabus doesn't have their own terminals so they basically just drop you off at some city bus stop. still... 30 bucks. the bus from orlando to miami was literally $1.

Thats cause Miami is a **** hole.

:shycouch:

they don't go directly to wpb. the train from miami to wpb was 7$ lol

I've always wanted to travel via freight ship. It's extremely expensive, but worth it I'd imagine.

For some reason LiL goes from a general question about travel to a poll about American airline companies, as if travel=flying around and from America.

Picking up on Chiomara's comment, yes, that method of travel sounds like fun, although it may not be so in reality. (Warning: if you read the following, you can't un-read it afterwards):-



One method of travel that sounds romantic on account of it turning up so often in songs and movies is by Greyhound bus, or for headin' south, a Trailways bus.

Since my work requires so much travel, I've grown to loathe travel. Their are still lots of places I'd like to go to but none of them sound too appealing. I prefer to enjoy binging through a show for a vacation.

What happened to this ****er?

Self-requested ban I believe.

It's about the third time he's asked about James :D

RIP Jimmy

Do all forums have this many site suicides?

Drama queens gonna drama queen.

Based on the few, short stints I've had on other forums, I sure hope so.

.

Eventually you have to go back home. Reasonable.

Paris, France. When I was 17 years old. I had my 18th birthday in Paris.
Though, I would probably quite hate it now due to my increase of reclusive nature with my introversion. There are a massive ****load of people there. It's beautiful though, the place erodes art and history.

It was 1986, I had a one-way ticket to LA from Chicago on a Trailways bus for $99. I gave my GF a smooch goodbye and off I went seeking life as a guitar player on the west coast. The trip took 3 days. 3 days into the depths of hell. Screaming babies, incessant coughing, and the smell of rotting flesh combined with almost dying in the wee hours of the morning just missing going over a cliff some where in the Rocky mountains made for one extremely UNromantic method of getting ones self to somewhere else far away. Never again. Who ever wrote those songs needs to be charged, fined, and jailed for fraud.

Yes, long-distance bus rides are the ****ing worst. Longest I've done is 28 hours and I'm not looking to top that.

no but imma start

thinking of going to turks and cacios for 14 hours only tho LOL ..then imma head to New York

i just noticed most of these carribean islands only have weekend flights and if you dont get out on sunday then your stuck there till tues

and spending 4 hole days on these islands can be quite expensive

^ Yeah, they are quite an endurance test: my max has been about 24 hours.

^ :laughing: Thanks for dis-abusing me of my romantic notions. Your experience reminds me simultaneously of the Simon & G'funkel song, America, and this experience that a friend of mine had:-
From northern Europe, esp in the winter months, there are various travel companies that promise to get you down to the warmth of the Med by non-stop bus. It's a cheap and appealing notion when you're fed up with the cold weather, so my friend paid for a window seat on one such bus. He was feeling quite content with his escape until, somewhere in the Alps, the guy sitting next to him nodded up the aisle of the bus and told my friend, "The driver. He sleep."

@ Smoke and Mirrors: Pity you never made it to Venice. That to me is the prettiest, most wonderful city I've ever seen. When you see it for the first time, you are faced with this conundrum: how can you possibly have a huge city without a single road in it? Here are some of the picturesque solutions:-

i travel a lot between california and wyoming, usually by driving through nevada, utah, and idaho. aside from that i've been to pa once when i was 12 and the only thing i remember is that i packed too much denim for that amount of humidity and when i flew into newark i thought it smelled bad. still haven't been to the pacific northwest, and haven't gone more than a couple hundred miles out of the bay area in any direction. oh i went to arizona and ate mushrooms in the grand canyon once lol.

question is Prostitution in Thailand legal or something ..???? just asking lol

^ Yes, I'd be interested - interested to see if your answer is one of these:-
i) walking, ii) cycling, iii) sedan delivery, iii) escorting packages for DHL

^ :confused: I'm guessing pa is a place, not a person??

^ Plankton gets off the bus in LA:-

Exactly what happened to me, but I think the driver woke up just in time to see we were about to plunge to our death, then swerved in time. This jolted most people awake, but they were still unaware of how close they had just come to being statistics. I was awake the entire time and screaming inside my head as I saw the cliff approaching.

Pretty much sums it up, but more accurately would be a duffel bag and a guitar case. I spent the next two weeks on Santa Monica beach playing tunes for change so I could eat. Then I joined the service. I'd do it all again too.

This is the exact reason NJ gets a bad reputation but it's totally fair to think Newark smells bad because it really really does.

....

I did a lot of travelling over the last two years. Took nine weeks off and went to Europe for a solo trip. I hit the the UK, Ireland, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Iceland.

Last year I drove across the country by myself. Took the southern route. Took me six days. Had a blast. Lived in California for three months and drove up to Canada to camp for ten days by myself and then d rove back to NJ through Canada up to the great lakes where I dipped back in and stopped in Chicago.

Some people have issues going to the movies by themselves. I have traveled half the earth by myself.

No. It's been allowed to exist because of financial stakes governments officials have in it. They are beginning to crack down on it.
