  - That's actually a phenomenal idea for a business. -- nm - David Jun 2, 13:54 9

        Useful pretty much anywhere. -- nm - Subversive Jun 2, 14:05 2

  - you know.. i understand wanting to be a broader person.. but aren't vacations supposed to be fun? - colin Jun 2, 13:57 10
    - sometimes challenging circumstances are the most fun ever. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 14:32
    - You are describing a vacation for older people, not a character-building backpacking trip. -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 14:15 2
      - yard work also supposedly builds character ;) -- nm - colin Jun 2, 14:19 1
        
        Also, when I say "older people" I am including myself and most of ST in that idea :) -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 14:25

      - oh i have... perhaps its because i have enough stress and chaos at work that i want something simple and pleasant on vacation.. -- nm - colin Jun 2, 14:00 3
        
        There are different types of simple. My last few trips have been pretty simple - travel to a far-off city, spend about a week exploring it, going on - Roger More Jun 2, 14:15
        
        That is the poor working stiff version of a vacation. The single teenager version is hers. -- nm - Subversive Jun 2, 14:08 1
        
        i suppose.. i'm also know what i like... - colin Jun 2, 14:11

  - Goa, Brazilia, Istanbul, Paris or Sidney -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 13:55 8
    - A girl friend actually said of all places, *dont* go to Istanbul alone. Tons of harrassments and worse. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:56 7
      - Why did Constantinople get the works? -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 14:29
      - amanda was there a few years ago - ask her. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 14:09
      - There are a lot of creepy dudes, no doubt. - Subversive Jun 2, 14:08
      - it's shocking....thats why it's there - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 13:59
      - It IS awfully close to Turkey... -- nm - Ender Jun 2, 13:58 2

- Aside from the 49th and 50th, I feel America is pretty homogeneous for the most part. - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:52 34
  - A road trip across the US is an eye opening experience. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 14:34
  - I understand the desire to see the world, totally. I think you should definitely do it. I just think your budget might be a bit out of whack. - Subversive Jun 2, 13:58 4
    - and the dollar down (sorry Us travelers but you're not in a good stating position theese years) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 14:01 3
      - Yes, the proliferation of the Euro has made it all but impossible to travel that cheaply in Europe any more. - Subversive Jun 2, 14:03 2
        
        hmm .. Switzerland is eurofree, so is Norway :-) -- nm - marcel Jun 2, 14:10 1
        
        Two of the most expensive places already! - Subversive Jun 2, 14:13
  - hell, I can drive to different parts of Jersey and feel like I am in a different world in each. nm - Jovian Jun 2, 13:58 2
    - Second Layer of Hell. Third Layer of Hell. Fourth Layer of Hell. -- nm - ty97 Jun 2, 13:59 1
      - and THEN you get to New Jersey... -- nm - colin Jun 2, 14:03
  - you're welcome to come to Maine.. - colin Jun 2, 13:58 16
    - Portland cool? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 14:00 8
      - yes actually.. - colin Jun 2, 14:02 7
        
        navigatable without a car? Can i see many things by foot or maybe bus? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 14:03 6
        
        absolutely. the city is very small and walkable, bus from the air port - colin Jun 2, 14:05 5
        
        I will have to seriously consider this option. It's no Mexico but I bet Maine in August is pretty -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 14:06 4
        
        i think you can hop the train up from New York City.. yes? -- nm - colin Jun 2, 14:12
        
        Maine in August is gorgeous. -- nm - Diva Jun 2, 14:10 2
        
        nmbDiva - colin Jun 2, 14:11 1
        
        That would be fantastic. I'd love to see you again and meet your intended. : ) - Diva Jun 2, 14:19
    - Traitor!! -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 13:59 6
      - Qale!! -- nm - colin Jun 2, 14:01 5
        
        Neeewman. - Qale Jun 2, 14:03 4
        
        awww.. - colin Jun 2, 14:06 3
        
        I'm not? - Qale Jun 2, 14:08 2
        
        YOU ARE! - colin Jun 2, 14:10 1
        
        Well... - Qale Jun 2, 14:14

    - I am dying to go to Portland, OR actually. I had a hard time choosing between Portland and NYC this summer. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 14:00 1
      - Guy being here pushed you to NY didn't it? -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 2, 14:04
  - Nah. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 13:56
  - yeah, once you've seen Kentucky, you've already seen New York, so why bother? -- nm - Guy Jun 2, 13:55
  - you are so crazy. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 13:54

  - Did you do the indoor or outdoor gondola ride? - Will Hunting Jun 2, 13:53 1
    - Yeah, indoor. We were there the third week of July! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 2, 13:54
  - heh i've been to legoland many times unfornatley - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 13:52
- backpacking through the appalachians? - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:49 6
  - i really want to do the Appalachian trail some day. -- nm - Guy Jun 2, 13:56
  - related: I've started playing the banjo to my unborn daughter. - Dr.Vermin Jun 2, 13:52 4
    - but isn't fight-or-flight and the resulting adrenaline surge *IMPORTANT* when dealing with banjo-playing mountain men? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:57 3
      - fight-or-flight doesn't make for an effective parent-child relationship though -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 14:00 2
        
        I suppose you did just call Vermy a banjo-playing mountain man ... touch�. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 14:08
        
        depends on the parent. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 2, 14:01
