No me deportes.

I kinda wanna go back to a certain resort in Mexico next year, but the political climate ain't great.

 

Anyone done the Costa Rica or Belize all-inclusive resort thing? I think wifey is starting to plan something of a graduation present, but I don't wanna end up dead in the trunk of a Mexican sedan either.

Costa Rica you say?

Days later, cadaver dogs uncovered a decomposed body wrapped in plastic bags partially buried some 1,000 feet from Stefaniak’s room. They were able to identify the body as belonging to Stefaniak by way of dental records and finger prints, ABC News reported. Authorities believe her body was moved from the apartment and dumped among nearby vegetation.

It just depends on which hill you go up.

(But don't go up  "The Hill", though.  For your safety.)

Two different (unrelated) acquaintances from work had recent trips to Costa Rica and had a great time. No mention of any problems. Just how beautiful and relaxing it was. A buddy of mine went about 10 years ago and went off the beaten path. He went to a waterfall and lagoon. They swam and had a wonderful time until he got sick. He wasn’t sure if it was something in the water or the wild fruit he ate but he said he almost died. Had to be hospitalized. His advice to me if I ever go is to go only to the touristy areas and not to venture out on my own. Like that’s ever going to happen. [Me traveling to South America LOL   ;) ]

What do they speak in Bora Bora?

 

And didn't the muslims bomb something there a while back? Maybe a nightclub? Meh, my nightclub days are pretty far behind me now anyhow.

I don't know about any bombings there.  They speak French and Tahitian, but everyone we've met also speaks English.

That is one of the best places I've ever been in my life. We stayed on Morea but flew to the big island (Tahiti) on an excursion. While in city of Papeete we went shopping with some Japanese tourists we met. Damn, could they ever spend! At the time I was wearing a Rolex GMT Master and we saw one just like it in the window of a jeweler. He bought it. Spent WAY more than I did when I bought mine. Went water skiing and the water was so clear you could see the coral, rocks and fish below. The food was out of this world. (Expensive as hell though, like $8 US for a freaking can of Coke!) I want to go back one day.  :)

I've been to several islands for work.  Work doesn't send us to "resorts",  just "OK" places,  usually recommended for the customer.

I'll head into it, deep, but dressed like a dirty work-guy and not a tourist.

A pack of cigarettes and $20 (local),  will get you into the right / wrong places alive.  I've had some magnificent times with people who couldn't even talk to me.

After Curaçao, I spent a month in the hospital (US), with what they finally called meningitis.  I was working in a very dirty, wet, bird-infested place.  I was almost declared dead, more than once.

Then I got mad....

(I think it was that time)...

I don't remember what I did, but the nurses had had enough and moved me from my private room into intensive care.

...Now. It's. Personal. .....

It was a round nurses' station,  surrounded by glass-fronted patient rooms.

I think they had given me drugs by now.....

I pulled all the needles and hoses from my body...  walked passed the nurses station...  found lockers full of clothes....  got dressed....  walked passed the nurses station....  and out of the hospital.

I remember finding  a lit cigarette, smoking it, and using it to light all the butts in the sand ashtray in the break-area.

That's about all I remember.

They found me one mile over, and two miles up the interstate, going north, towards home.

They spent most of the early morning hours trying to put needles and hoses back into me.  Right.

I was discharged by afternoon.

He can bring his scuba gear and go search for that missing WWII bomber in the river.

Alaska is full up. We already have 1 person per square mile. Plus you might catch that 95 pound king salmon meant for me.

Walt peering out from his defensive position in the compound, "Who you be?"

Visitor form the lower 48, "It is I (xxxxx) from TBS."

Walt, "Lay down your weapons, turn around, and back slowly towards the compound."

Visitor, "But I didn't bring any weapons."

Walt, "Go back home and come back when you have a .44 magnum and a .45-70."
