Hi Jabberwok, at long last some one with at clue. Cheesy history? I for one don't especially care about superiority either perceived or imagined. I'm hoping we've seen the last of that breed. http://video.google.com/videosearch?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4DMUS_enUS206US206&q=Hitler&um=1&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title# Reply #1882.

I have to agree with Jabberwok, I like travelling and seeing places (and I really like the US :) ) but I like to come home (although I'm not sure I'm there now ;) ). I must admit I'm not that well travelled (outside the English understanding world :) ). Anyone got some fun travel stories to tell. I'm a regular at travelling to the Middle East and on one occasion flying Cardiff to Dubai (via Amsterdam) it took 48 hours! (It normally took about 9 hours including the stop). Reply #1883.

Hi baban, are you attempting to intercede before things get out of hand....LOL(you're so transparent) Two words....Banff Canada. I have wonderful stories. I'll think about telling you one that is appropriate for a family site. Hands down the most beautiful and fun place I've ever been. The Banff Springs hotel has my initials on a tree out back. RJ not reject! Reply #1884. Jan 02 09, 6:15 PM |

I toured France, Monaco, Northern Italy, Switzerland and the Black Forest of Germany on my motorbike many years ago. The most memorable event of that trip was getting sunstroke from sunbathing on the beach at St.Topez. Reply #1885. Jan 02 09, 6:18 PM |

Yep, transparent that's me, RJ... I didn't make it out to Banff this summer, we only got to Whistler, I'm hoping to go though, friends have just had a posting to Calgary... Reply #1886. Jan 02 09, 6:21 PM |

Did you see anyone famous at the beach, Jane? ;) Reply #1887. Jan 02 09, 6:22 PM |

Jabberwok, good thing, because I wear Black Watch all the time. I think it's just gorgeous. I have a Black Watch nightshirt! I've heard that about the Campbells, too, so I keep it quiet that a lovely Campbell family are my godparents. I'm also an official, or unofficial member of something potentially called the Black Tartan Army? That doesn't sound quite right. But I was also taught then when you enter a Scottish pub, everyone is called Jimmy, including the bartender, and you should burst in and loudly and joyfully exclaim, "Hey, Hi, Ho Jimmy!" I am SO ready if I ever make that trip to Scotland I have planned... Reply #1888. Jan 02 09, 6:23 PM |

I worked at the Banff Springs Hotel during my college summers. I will be snow boarding there next month with my flask of Goldschläger. A friend has a small cabin just on the edge of Banff. I made my first candle light run in my skivvies there ;-b Reply #1890. Jan 02 09, 6:28 PM |

Flopsy,I believe the Canadian side of Glacier National Park is Jasper, and is equally gorgeous. Banff is over there too, but I do think Jasper is officially part of the park. I don't think it's spikier; it's just the other side of the border. I could be wrong, though, about Jasper and Banff. It's been awhile since I crossed over. I grew up 50 miles south of Glacier and as a family, we hiked every inch of that park, and into all the glaciers. Now, I've heard you can't even see any of them from the roads anymore. They are all melting. It makes me so sad. And your hills are gorgeous -- I've seen photos. Hills are their very own brand of loveliness, and I love hills as much as I love mountains. But I was always told to "Beware the Moooooooors..." Did they mean those marshy, dark spots where the werewolves hang out, or the Morrocans? I never was quite certain. Reply #1891.

It truly is funny when anyone says something in the US is "old." When I want old, I always, always buy from the UK and pay premium shipping fees, but it is so worth it. I have some gorgeous OLD books and china, and I almost bought a cast iron gate. That would have been a trick to ship, but I didn't win that auction. Probably for the best, but it truly was lovely. Morph, you're a rancher? I was a rancher in Montana in a former life, in a galaxy far, far away. How many acres? We had 14,000. And oh, how I miss it. I even miss the 2,500 ewes, and everyone hates sheep! Loved the cows, and loved all our horses. We even had a team of Clydesdales we used on weekends to haul hay to feed everything, just because it was fun. I miss Montana every single day I am away from it... Reply #1892. Jan 02 09, 6:34 PM |

Now, I'm really jealous RJ... *sigh* Of course I'd be beside myself if you'd said you were going to Lake Louise at the end of the month ;) Reply #1893. Jan 02 09, 6:34 PM |

And by the way, here's a little piece of trivia for you... in Montana, cattle and horse rustling is still a hangin' offense. Reply #1894. Jan 02 09, 6:36 PM |

Lake Louise is also just incredible. But be careful right now with snowmobiling anywhere. There have been so many avalanches in Canada in the last week. I think 11 people died in Ferney, and Whistler also just lost a couple of people, as well. (Whistler, B.C., is like heaven on earth, both in summer and in winter.) Also did you see some moron planted bombs in Aspen? For God's sake, ASPEN??? The Groove Capital of the West, followed closely by Boulder? That is so out of control. A lot of snowmobilers died in Utah, too, at Snowmass, I think. It's been a BAD year down here for avalanches. Be careful, skiers, snowboarders and snowmobilers! Love -- Dresss Reply #1897.

Elle, we have the best 'hills' in the north of England. They are the highest mountains in England and are known as 'fells'. http://www.keswick.u-net.com/ldp.htm If I walk 100yards from my house to the promenade at Morecambe I can see the Lake District mountains across Morecambe Bay.

Cyberhen, hon, were you wearing ALL your clothes when you got sunstroke? Now THAT sounds like a memorable trip, with many stories to tell! I would love to hear them! Not remembering any faces has my keyboard also covered with coffee! I have a few stories from trips to Mexico that were fairly terrifying. I don't like flying into airports with guards armed with machine guns who then want to rip through your carry-on luggage and toss your panties about for sport. And that isn't even the horror story -- that was just getting there. They don't like us very much, and my trips weren't for vacation or fun -- it was strictly business. Flying into Vancouver was somewhat exciting, too. I got trapped in Customs for a few hours because they lost my luggage, but I had no way to contact the person picking me up that I had even arrived. He couldn't get in, and I couldn't get out. Claustrophia and airports/airplanes don't really go hand-in-hand. Morph! Are you truly a rancher? And where did you go to school that you summered in Banff? (Tell me if I'm being too personal and I'll take a few giant steps backwards. I just find this board and everyone on it truly fascinating, and so, so diverse. It's so refreshing!) ~Elle Reply #1899. Jan 02 09, 6:50 PM |

Elle, Put your coffee down in a safe place. Nobody wears clothes at St.Tropez. It was a lot of years ago when I went. On the trip I learn't how to ask for beer in every country I went to. In Calais on the night before the ferry trip home we met a man with a Model T Ford (yes, a black one of course). He'd just been touring France in it. I never made it to the centre of Paris, I saw it from a distance on the Paris ring road, but couldn't find the way in - lol. Reply #1900. Jan 02 09, 7:00 PM |
