i'm not doing too badly from here but i see what you mean...

Dont take me wrong. I am not saying you are uneducated or anything like that. I am just saying that there is so much to see and learn first hand. The World needs to be explored. It would take me hours to list the places that I have been and seen and I have learned something from all of them.

Traveling is so much fun and can make for great memories and experiences.

Couldn't agree more, most of the places I have been have good memories (especially Africa...)

Unless you have a family and do it for a living. 16 years of hotels, queueing, airports, lifeless food, cranky people, dirty airliners, crummy service, arriving to find your rental car...well, rented...late flights, missed flights, overcrowded airplanes, mechanic strikes, pilot strikes, attendant strikes, smoking rooms, airconditioning broken, lost luggage, missed approaches, aborted takeoffs, drunk passengers, superbowl fans on your redeye, spilled drinks, 1.5mile runs in the airport with all of your non-rolling luggage, cabbies preaching the word of Allah...

Oh yeah, did I tell you that I hate traveling?
 
Well I guess I just look at it differently. Me and my wife travel as often as possible. Last year we went back to the good old USA, Dominican Republic and Rome. This year we went to Paris, Switzerland, and we are doing Berlin.

Most of the time we try and see places that are not in Europe, but since we plan to move to Alaska in a few years, we are going to travel Europe a lot more over the next few years. Even though I have been to most of hte places in Europe, my wife has not, so we do it again.
 
Traveling is fun when you do it on your own time and schedule. With work it can be tedious if you do it every other week. My wife too doesn't understand me. "You fly first class, you stay in the swankiest hotels, and can eat out every day and night. What a life of luxury."

BS. I'll take a hotdog, my bed and my kids every time.
 
Ive been to Normandy, and a while back we drove from Hampshire to the South of France for a holiday, stopping at various places along the way, probably the best holiday to date...Also stopped at Moncao, which is bloody fantastic...South Coast of Spain is dull as ditchwater, no real places of intrest and the scenery is crap...

Travelling is something I will probably end up doing quite a lot of - Mainly just Europe though I think...Not too bothered about going anywhere else it has to be said...Maybe Japan one day but who knows...
 
I love traveling and seeing other people and getting away from all the shit you see everyday where you live and just get away. If I had the cash I would travel a lot.

Getting off from work 2 hours before closing to get some sleep, but our sign burned out because one of the other take away places near us sign short surceted and started the fire on the pole where the signs are and the fire department took 5 min to get to the fire and we are a block away from them.

Look Matt I can be happy, what do you use or abuse that you are so happy the whole time? :lol:

Unfortunately too many things. I have my share of anger, disappointment and frustrations. However, I don't express my self with want of violence on my fellow man. Enough of that in this world and makes ones life a very bleak existence. 'Course there are some liberal pinkos that do deserve the wrath of Matt308...

Anyhow glad to see you with such an optimistic post, Henk. :)

Last day of work before a 4 day holiday.
 
maybe WE ALL NEED TO LOOK AT LIFE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY THAN THE WAY WE DO NOW ......... yeah it's tough trying to be positive but not impossible

hey it's snowing on the hump ! ........... yes

I have travelled to just about every country in Europe, been to parts of South America, USA, Canada, Middle East (that was not for pleasure though), and parts of Africa. There is still so much that I have to see and do.

Oh and what made me happy....
