So who here likes to visit other states/countries/places/etc?
Where have y'all been?
What's the longest you've been away from your home area place city state thing?
Is money a big factor for you and travelling, or do you YOLO it?
As for myself, I love to travel. There is a matter of money, though. We're quite poor as it is and my parents solemn pay hundreds to simply have fun. Solemn meaning never.
I've been to Vietnam, though. That's the only out-of-country place I've been, and only because we were visiting family. I've never been there before I was 5. I haven't been there for years, but we stayed for about a month each time we visited.
I have also been to Las Vegas. Now, my family only goes of our extended family pools in money(unfairly. Richest families pay more). The only paying my parents do is at the casino... ._. And gas for the car, granted we take it. Anywho, thing is we don't pay that much to drive to Vegas.

Ive traveled far and love to travel.
I came to America from the Netherlands and have to Conneticut. New Hampshire. Masachuettes. Rhode Island. Delaware. New Jersey. New York. Virginia. West Virginia. Vermount. Tennessee. Maryland. Block Island. Long Island. Fishers Island.
Ive got time share in New York Catskills. in Massachuettes Berkshires. And in the mountains of Virginia.
Ive sailed into the ocean and traveled by ship before. And done various ropes and biking courses.
Im busy
-
I haven't even heard of some of those islands... o.o
-
They can best be said to be hidden jems. populations are 500-3000 in some places
-
That's still a decent amount. o.o Well, how big are the islands?
-
block island is maybe 12 sq.miles on land but land and sea its like 25
fishers island is a tiny bit bigger.
long island is south of new york. i dunno how big it is
-
I'm wondering if block island looks like a square c:
-
i dunno. the islands could be smaller too. google ot :p
i was never good at geography
-
Every country in Europe. I've been to France maybe 50 times, Italy 30+ I've even been as far as Russia.
-

What about the other countries? Were they just for pit stops and stuff? o-o
-
I go see what I want to then move on. I mostly visit war sites, I've travelled the entire length of the western front visiting every museum etc. Switzerland is just a shortcut to Italy, Spain I've only been for holidays, Poland I went to see Auschwitz. etc etc. Next month I'm off to Germany to see Dachau concentration camp, then Austria to see Hitlers birthplace, then I'm going to Czech republic to see the jew ghetto at Terezin and then im going to Prague to see where Heydrich was assassinated. September I'm going to Spain again for a holiday. Before that though I might pop to France/Belgium/Germany or Italy to see some customers, if I can be bothered.
-
I'm here just thinking about how much that would have helped me this year in History class.
Although I wouldn't go as uh.. in-depth as you would, I'd really love to visit some of those places someday to visit museums and stuff c:
-
Auschwitz is the stand out place to visit if you have an interest in those kind of things, I'll post some pics if you want.
-
Please do : D
I've seen Auschwitz feature on the History channel, the camp ruins were just horrible >:

What does the sign in the first one mean?
Work something something o-o
-
Work makes you free. False advertising if I ever saw it :)
-
But that would be the motivation for them, no?
Also, are you allowed in there at night?
God that would be so scary....
-
It's scary enough in the daytime. I got there at 7am the first time I visited and I was the only person walking around the death camp(its huge btw). The atmosphere is pretty damn creepy.
-
God I would hate to be there alone! D:

The graffiti'd berlin wall! O:
Have all the prettier pieces been moved away? :C
The trenches look pretty, it's hard to believe people got killed on them.
And in the last one.. Are you in... ATLANTA?!

And in the last one.. Are you in... ATLANTA?!
Not a big enough clue eh? hmmmm here's another, it was taken in this tiny little museum I came across, called the louvre :)

O:
ITALY.
-
Close enough, 3 cookies for latyrannia.
-
Awesome.
Do I get another cookie for having stuff from said place in those three pictures because my grandma travels a lot o-o
-
Sure. I'm impressed your grandma braved the Paris traffic and survived, that deserves 12 cookies just for bravery.
-
But she makes the cookies...
Anywho, I don't think Paris traffic would be as bad as SoCal traffic, we're notorious for that.
Then again, I haven't been there.
-
It's the worst I've ever seen, my insurance company said my insurance is invalid if I drive through certain parts of Paris because I'm almost guaranteed to make a claim.
Oh while were discussing driving you wanna see the roads in Russia. You can drive for 8 hours without seeing a single person or town, its HUGE!
-
Oh, there's just a lot of lag time here o-o
I'm sure new york's traffic is very hostile though o-o

I've seen all those places in Belgium multiple times msg.. ;)

Yeah I fancy becoming a military historian but I don't wanna go to uni again. I just find it fascinating to be in that same place all those famous things happened, it sounds geeky but I love it.
Such as the Albert Basilica in ww1

Have you mentioned the bunkers at the coast? I forgot the actual name, to be honest..

Yeah the problem with bunkers is that they all look the same, I can't tell from the pics where these were.

These are in the pas de calais and were used for launching V weapons.

Haven't seen that movie yet, I'm not quite interested in new bridges either.

Looks like you've been to quite some places already :o
I recall going to the Fort of Breendonk.
Strategy level: over 9000
-
So Vegas this weekend,
stayed here!
This would be the 4th time-ish I've stayed here, because my family gambles a lot and they give us free rooms.
However, we haven't been there in a while. We got an army discount though. The total of the two rooms came out to be around $1k. I think.
-
I want to go to Stalingrad(volgograd) to see the war sites, but the price is ridiculous, I could go on 5 all inclusive holidays for the price of one visit there.
-
I've been to alot of places already
San Vincente
Venice
Germany
Bali
France
Londen
Dublin
...
-
Been to: Holland, Germany (x2), UK (4x), France (3x), Spain (3x), Czech Rep. (x2), Malta, Egypt
Planned: France, Nepal

Paris France right?

You can't go to France and not go to Paris, that's just wrong. There's lots of beautiful places though, last time I went to France I went to Saumur.

I have some decent photos on the camera but I forgot the USB lead, right now I'm in Munich Germany, going to Dachau concentration camp tomorrow and some girl I was just chatting to told me to go up the olympic tower so were going there too.
Still nobody been anywhere? I did Munich today, onto Belgium tomorrow.

I went down the road to the shops, fun times~

I just got home from Spain. Here's some pics I took.

Ahh, good old Benidorm.
Been there about 4 times. Been on that rock too :P
-
It was my first time there, it's probably my favourite place so far in Spain but it was a little too touristy for me. I prefer somewhere a little more quiet. A gang tried to mug me too, it ended up well for me and bad for them, but it's not something I'd want to experience again.

Bunch of frustrated Spanish kids there. Begging and scamming during the day, stealing during the night.
-
Yeah it was my own fault walking alone down narrow streets at 4am, I was warned by the tour guide but I never listen to advice. The worst bit was it was 2 girls that grabbed me first!

My sis will be leaving for Paris in 5 hours.
She'll get to serve some high horse food & drinks some big shots there. She's even staying at a 5-star hotel (That's awesome in Paris, I heard it was €500/night).
Man.. still 8 weeks for us.

I like Paris, apart from the traffic it's nice.
I just booked a holiday to Tenerife, anybody here been before? It's my first time to the Canary Islands so any advice on what to do/see/go is very welcome. I hope they do scuba diving, I fancy a go.
I have a holiday to Rome booked too, and I'm thinking of adding an extra week on and getting a ferry from Salerno to Tunisia. 5 star hotels in stunning locations are dirt cheap over there.
-
Minecon is coming closer & closer.
-
I'm coming to see you Belgian folk last week in November.
-
We got to look for dates then, since Mizari & I will be @ MineCon that week.
-
I'm only going as far as Ieper in Belgium, the In Flanders Fields Museum has reopened after renovation so I fancy popping over for a look. I think I booked the hotel for 1 night on the 25th.... but I can't remember now, maybe the 24th..... I'll have to check. I have 2 full days to fill so I might go to Beaumont Hamel across the French border, I couldn't find the famous 'sunken lane' last time I was there.
-
Ieper is quite far from where I live.

Old age yet to come.
When you're 60, buy the most awesome camper and cruise the world with it.
At least that's my plan.
-
That sounds fun, I'd rather do it now though then when I'm old, there's no chance of the mrs agreeing to it though.

Well, the way the media portrays it and how it actually is are two very different things. Very few streets actually look like they do in the movies lol
and the people aren't very nice either, very unhelpful. It's a nice enough place so long as you don't get your hopes up.

On the morrow we go to a holiday resort for the week, just to relax after the recent bad news. It's adults only and they just spent £13,000,000 on a new waterpark and pool. I won't have no screaming brats getting in my way! It's gonna be awesome.

In 39 days(yes, I'm fucking counting down :P ) I'm going to Tenerife. I'm more than a little excited.

This time a week tomorrow I'll be on the plane! WHOO HOO!!
-
I go at 6am so will probably be offline for the week, I'll try to find time to drop by though.
-
~ I hope you're having ze funs on ze beautiful island of Tenerife ~

I'm going to NYC for a month in January - And in the end of next year, if everything works out, I'll be on another country for an year for interchange. :3

Just sat by the pool in the best spot right next to the bar.

I think you have confused me with a certain cat :|
-
Lol sorry, I just saw the admin thing and assumed. Or maybe I was just drunk :D
Thankyou sir lord of Sukebe.
-
We should go on a holiday to the same place maybe sometime late next year :0 Then I'd be able to bring my fellow Sukebe.
-
We're already discussing next September, If we could all sort something together it would be cool.
-
I don't think we'd be able to go any earlier than the 20th though.
-
We're easy, prices drop as september goes on. Look for flights on a tuesday though, they are cheapest because people like things done by order (full weeks etc) and travel companies charge more for weekend flights.
-
We went on a pirate ship and saw whales and dolphins, it was really good.
-
We just came back from Japan, it was GLORIOUS. My expectations were easily exceeded.
-
I came home with over 600 euros. I'm going to go book another holiday with it later :D
-
I held a golden eagle on holiday at a bird show, it was cool. I reckon it would eat George for breakfast. Anyway, I videoed the main part of the golden eagle show:
-
We have travelled all the way to Whitby today just for fish and chips by the seaside :D
-
Whitby is nice. Dracula is from there, we went in his museum.

OK European members, give me some recommendations for holiday! I can't decide where to go, have you guys been anywhere nice in the past? Turkey is about the furthest I'm willing to travel as anything over 5 hours on a plane after all the airport waiting just annoys me. We're not interested in Egypt either, there's a war on.

Well, I did it, it's booked. I go in about 8 weeks. I plan to visit Carthage and there is also.a huge Roman ampitheatre just like the colosseum that I want to see.
-
I'd go live in Rome if there were still Gladiatorial battles.
-
In exactly 6 weeks time I'll be on a plane, probably above France or the Mediterranean :)
-
This time next week I'll be waking up in Tunisia :)
-
Fuuuuuck Tunisa is rough. I'm getting hounded by the honeless for money, I don't think I'm supposed to be walking about outside the tourist area. I found a great little bar though, he's gonna show the Man Utd and Man City game for me tomorrow night.

Their entire economy revolves around tourism. No wonder everyone would try to make something off that.

Oh right, Tunis used to be Carthage. Sweet
-
Yep the ruins at Carthage were pretty cool. I also visited some Roman ruins and a museum of some of the best preserved mosaics in the world. Any muslims here? I visited the 3rd most important mosque there is in some city I cant pronounce.

My mate Mehdi. He was a stray that lived on the beach outside our hotel so I used to take him wild boar and duck so he didn't go hungry.

You look a little too short to be a gladiator.

A place in Tunisia called El Djem. This was only a bit smaller than the Colosseum in Rome.

I'm huge, the lions were scared of me.

As long as nobody else at work has the first week in October booked off I'll be booking a holiday to Egypt tomorrow after work.
I wanna see the pyramids
I wanna see the Sphinx
I wanna see the Egypt museum in Cairo
I wanna see the Nile
I wanna see the valley of the kings
I wanna see the Sahara
I want haunting by Cleopatras ghost
But most of all, I want to see some sunshine and the bar.
-
I went to Luxor a few years ago, stayed in Maritim Jolie Ville or something. Great hotel, lots of stuff to do, lots of sand, lots of stuff made out of sand. No pyramids >.> nice temples. The heat is lovely once you get used to it, but Valley of the Kings is something else entirely.
1 week wasn't enough though.
-
I booked it. We're going to Sharm el-Sheikh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharm_El_Sheik) for a week in October, the heat wont be quite as bad at that time of year.
-
I wonder, summer Belgium?
-
It's too cold in Belgium :P
-
I wonder, summer Belgium?
40% clouded, 40% raining, 10% storm, 10% sunny
-
It's too cold in Belgium :P
Your personality will make it warm :3
-
Cold is good! :D
Up here we get, like, SO much snow it's ridiculous, but it's the heat I can't stand
80 degrees F is too much for me, I can't STAND anything above 85 and summers hit ~90+ and then I just start dying ;-; AC is a luxury up here, and we do not have it in this house.
I've been out to visit California three times, and the heat there was completely unbearable outside of the house. DIE, SUN

I went with Santana to pick up food, perks of the job I guess.

Nah, I don't feel like going on a cruise yet. I don't feel old enough for that.

Good. So you go bike?

Lel, I think a bit of Center Parcs will do for this year.

I went to Egypt recently. Nice enough place, snorkeling around the coral reefs was the highlight.
Mexico next year for my mrs 30th birthday, but don't tell her, it's a surprise!

My mom & sis are going to London soon.

Went to NY and got back :P

Am finally home after a 3-month stay in Mizland.
Will be receiving Mizland's chief resident in a few months.
Returning to Mizland some time during the second half of this year.

*Pokes head in*
I've been to the motherland Spain, Portugal (though very brief.), Mexico (specifically Cancun and Vallarta I think that's how it's spelled). That's basically all I've been to.
However, I heard that I might be going back to Cancun this year. I freaking hope so....it's hot af but there was so many tourist sites we didn't have enough time to get to(and I spent an entire week there). I'd love to finish that off ;_;
Might travel to Tyranland one day...which is basically that once city who's name I forget. It'll depend on whether or not I'll be less anal about gas money, that's for sure.

So, this weekend will be a trip with my acting group :D
-
I've been busy since my last post in here.
In January we went away to Tenerife for the wifes 30th birthday, her parents and auntie and uncle came too.
Tomorrow we fly to Menorca for a week to get away from the rain.
In September we have two weeks in Toremollinos booked.
Next April I've booked another trip to Tenerife. My mother will be there for her 60th birthday and I'm going to turn up and surprise her. I've arranged with my step dad to get her in a bar and I'll just walk up from behind and ask if the seat next to her is taken or something :D
I haven't told the wife about it either, I'm gonna leave it until the day before we go then surprise her.
-
So since my last post I've been to Spain, England and The Netherlands once and to Germany twice.
I wonder why I am poor now.
-
I know how you feel. Including spending money, airport parking etc I've spent £10,000 on holidays this year.
-
So, yeah, I kinda booked another holiday to Greece. I have three holidays booked now, September, April then September. This one is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, it's full 5 star. www.princessandriana.com (http://www.princessandriana.com)

I booked two trips to Manchester this month. Once in April and once in May.

Brussels - Delirium café (only open 10pm-4am)
