[ten ocho recon scout]

Berlin is pretty cool as long as you don't look Syrian.

and if you do, just head to nuremberg

In case anyone is interested in travelling, just saw a flight to sweden in like 2 weeks for 400 round trip from lax. Direct flight, norwegian air

I just booked my Honeymoon trip to Italy for September to October. We will be there for 2 weeks, going to Rome, Florence and Venice. We will also have enough time to do some exploring to other areas as well. Staying in some nice hotels while we are there. Should be a very nice trip.

Had to be in NJ for a wedding this past weekend.

Afterwards we booked it to Atlantic City for a few nights. Neither of us had ever been.

It was a blast but... interesting.

Totally felt like it was hopping at one point and we just missed its heyday by only about 70 years.

What an interesting town. I assume it's better in the summer.

Where in NJ were you? It's a small state.

AC is dying a slow death now that it no longer has a monopoly (no pun intended) on the east coast gambling scene.

It needs to be reinvented.....again.

Kicks ass in the summer, but that's only Memorial Day-Labor Day around here.

ha.

sh*t. 

and I'm a horror buff too.

ah well.

pretty area regardless.

[mrwicked]

Dude ch-ch-ch-ah-ah-ah!

Yeah that went over my head too.

I'm not a smart man.

I need a vacation - I'm gonna head out to the country. I'll lounge at crystal lake and bang some hot camp counselor lifeguard broads and relax for a bit.

[Lou]

 Loan Eagle Grill is the best restaurant on the lake IMO. The way the mountains reflect off the lake after my third bloody mary brings a tear to my eye.

You said that about Palm Desert, too

[mrwicked]

Just got back from a week in Cabo, my wife took me for my birthday (Cinco de Mayo).

Had an epic time. So much good tequila, cerveza and seafood was had. Everyone knows the bars and spots on the water downtown are a blast (The Office, Mango Deck, etc), but I was really impressed with the restaurants (Pedregal, Edith's, Manta, Hacienda Cocina) and resorts. It's a great mix of dives and high end. 

Also had a pour of Blue Label King George V scotch, f*cking epic.

We are gonna head back in November. Anyone else been?

I might give him a run for his money. But in the interest of a gentlemans race, we may have to pick a spot and grab a drink abroad together and call it a tie.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Did cabo a few years back. It was pretty good, but i liked cozumel better...not sure why, just remember one better than the other.

[Stradling]

TORS, with all due respect it isn't a level playing field.  You are traveling on a police officer salary.  Wicked is traveling on whatever salary he has that also allows him to remodel an old Victorian (I guess there aren't any new Victorian) house in the most expensive zip code in the country.

deal! first round is on me man.

i like cozumel as well, was there for NYE this year. its gorgeous. but i really loved cabo, granted might be because i went in with a list of places to check out from friends who go like every other month. honestly can't go wrong with either place.

[Tank]

going on a cruise next month, and one of our stops is cozumel. unfortunately we'll only be there about ten hours or so, so i won't get to see or do much. hope the weather is nice and that we get a cool breeze.

[Tank]

My men's chorus is hosting this cruise, and besides singing on board the ship, we have a mission project arranged at each port. Bailing is not an option.

[Blarg]

TORS is on a PD salary, Tank is a few pay grades below on a private school teachers salary and a daughter ready to jump off to college. He will be vacationing in Santa Ana instead. Same language barrier and tacos but no oceanfront view.

anyone been to Dubai? thinking about checking it out. some crazy travel deals on emirates right now.

[Lhalo]

I've heard Emerates is the shiz. 

[Tank]

he can probably arrange for you to fly an F-16 or a C-130 all by yourself.
