Do you worry about politics or current events when planning a trip? For example would you be afraid to travel to say, Thailand right now due to the protests they have been experiencing, or do things like that not bother your travel plans?

You don't know how much I missed Thailand. I have been there 4 times, and I have missed it so much...it will have to wait for next year for sure. How many more years will you stay where you are now? -------------------- My LATEST BLOGS: Marmari, Vasa, and CYPRUS, the Unique Destination for Business and Holidays!!!

He was in Cyprus working for 2 weeks. Oh we had many salads and grilled meat. No sauce.

It took forever to get the tyre off to repair it. Have you ever crashed your bike while you were riding it? -------------------- In Search Of ........... "Begin doing what you want to do now.

Usually but not always. When we went to Disney (view blog) we bought refillable water bottles with a filter right in the bottle, now we take those bottles wherever we go. It's a great idea and saves us lots of money. If money was not object, where would you go?

Rolling Stone Group: Local Expert Posts: 4691 Joined: 28-October 07 From: England Member No.: 101826	It will be in October, not long before my birthday. I will be leaving my job and spending a few months at home before leaving for my trip in December. When I get back from my trip the following June I will not be going back into a corporate company and have been looking at various options, I'm not sure where any of them are taking me at the moment, but I don't plan on deciding till I get back. If you could make one last phone call, who would it be to? -------------------- In Search Of ........... "Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity.
