Hey Guys, and girls! I don't think I've seen a Travel Thread so I'll start one. Where do people like to go on vacation? What are you favorite destinations?

I am all packed and about to depart from San Francisco today and will land in Frankfurt, Germany. I am doing a tour that begins in St. Goar (Rhine Valley) and ending in Vienna, Austria. In between, we'll spend nights high up in the Swiss Alps along with Baden-Baden, Munich, Salzberg, and, of course, Vienna.

Normally, I go with a lady friend or, at least, mean someone there. Not this time. I will be totally on my own. I paid a single supplement to ensure my own room throughout. There are ten married couples, me, and four single women. I hope at least one of them wants to hang out with me.

In Munich, on May 24, I might meet up with T-Bone if he's not busy. It was fun meeting him in Vegas and would love to discuss more about Lia and Alison with him over some beers.

I am taking a small laptop and my iPod Touch with WiFi capabilities so I'm sure I'll be checking in from time to time.

Danielle, if you read this, Happy Birthday and I'm sorry I won't "be around" for you big day.

Where do I like to go on vacation? Well, since I can't go anywhere and I have no money to spend and I don't work...I spend all my "vacation time" sitting in my recliner in front of my computer. I can visit almost any place in the cyber world but that's it. No overseas trips for me...oh well (shrug).

If you want to see a day without night you should head to Northern Sweden, Norway or Finland this time of the year. Close to Arctic Circle the sun currently rises at 3am and sets at 11 pm, and there is light for an hour before and after the sun sets/rises. So, it's 21+ hours of light a day.

It's a funny feeling to wake up at 5 am and not be able to tell if it's 10 am already.
