    went to New Zealand for 3 months about 5 years ago. I highly recommend it. You’d like the trout fishing there.

    My wife and I love to travel.

    We try to get on a plane twice a year and go somewhere.

    Usually a long weekend and a 7-14 day trip each year.

    Went to Scotland a year ago last summer. Great country!

    So far I havent been anywhere where I didnt like it.

    They can keep dirty Mexico. If I’m going tropical I’ll forever do without the culture and take the sun and fun of American soil and Patronage!!

    Love traveling and seeing what’s really out there. My outdoor adventures are obviously #1 priority on my list of things to do. But, I still have a serious passion to do a European tour, specifically northern and eastern Europe. These are a few cuts from my Australian experience. Spent 3 weeks back packing the north island of New Zealand, 3 weeks back packing the south western corner of Australia, 1 week on the Great Barrier Reef, and 5 months of college in Sydney. Sorry for no scenic pics, as I managed to drop my camera into the Sydney harbour Amongst those photos were all of New Zealand, the Great Barrier Reef, the Gold Coast, a monster Red Snapper, and 4 foot Mako Shark from the Bay of A Thousand Islands. Amongst places that I’ve been that I do not suggest, Alabama and Mississippi If you ever want to T-off your college football coach-tell him your going across the globe for 8 months Simply awesome is all I can say, worth every penny. If any one reading this wants info, experiences vs. tourist experiences or ect. , shoot me a pm I’d be glad to hook you up with outfitters and experience ideas.

    Not as exotic as what some people would desire for traveling, but we are exploring the United States as a family. When my wife and I decided to have kids, I made a goal to show them all I could in life – including what is outside the city limits. Our method is road trips. We pack the truck with our camping gear, and just go. We split the trip up into a day or two of camping and a night in a hotel. Keeps the cost down, and we do a pace we (my girls) can enjoy.
    A day will come when my kids move on, take a husband, and hopefully have a family. Its the thousands of hours we spend together now that will give me the memories to look back upon and know how great of a life I have.

    Maybe, maybe not, there is some beatuiful country here in the US and a lifetimes worth of traveling to see interesting spots.

    Something the wife and I plan on doing as soon as we retire.
