A trip to Europe

Going any where nice ?

 

Fer sure.

But I'm usually guilty of the other extreme. I've done several major
trips where I had no idea where I was going, how I was going to get
there, or what I would see when I did. Serendipity happens, as when I
chanced on the massive Rath Yatra festival in Puri, India, which is
where the word "juggernaut' originated, but I'd like to be a little
better prepared this time.

 

Must be something severly wrong with me... I've never ever really had
a desire to go to France...now Spain otoh. Spain I could do. 8^) I
like amontiadllo more than burgandy. 8^)

 

Yes, we know!

Bull.

 

Yep, I'd saythere is something wrong with you.

 

Yoikes!! that's very impressive.

 

Say that again when we get back

 

Much like the trip my mate Will went on...

Unfortunately it all went wrong when he crashed, face-first, in Bolivia and
had to be medivac'd home.

 

<sigh, sob> oh well. At least there's plenty of sun and good food in
Jerexes, decent and the drink is palatable...unlike that french
dreck. ;^)

 

If you've not been there, how would you know ?

 

Ouch

 

I married somebody who has... 8^) Tapas cruising is the closest I'll
ever get to cruising. I don't travel to look at mountains, trees, wild
life, amusement parks...I travel for the road it's self. <shrug> Guess
that makes me the weird one, the green monkey if you will. I almost
NEVER take photos as I'm usually too busy.

 

I'd sack them then

Eh ?
But that *is* the road ?
So you ride with your eye shut ?

I'll go with the photo thing

 

I did better, I married the wench! Ha! Showed her.

?que I scan ahead for 100-200m each side as I go along and out to the
vanishing point, but that's about it. <shrug> I guess I might note
stuff not on the road...but the touristy stuff? Just doesn't do it for
me.

Yep, spent a year in Korea took exactly ONE roll of film and didn't
get it developed until last year...I was in korea back in 2000. 8^)
There's likely a roll of film or two about from when I was in the
first gulf war.

 

You'll have a GPS then as well

 

Nope, used them for a couple decades...wouldn't rely on one to get me
from the bike to the latrine at a rest stop. 8^) They are a NICE tool
but a only a tool. I prefer a nice map with contoure lines, a map
protractor scaled for that map and a compass. I've out navigated gps
cross country more than once.

 

Amontillado?

 

No, she came of her own accord.

 

<blush> uh, thanks...I'm stuck in the outback of the nether regions of
the continental states. Hard to get decent much less good sherry. 8^\
