Members nerol1st Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 I really haven't done to much out of country {censored}. But I did get to go play with my former band in the UK for a couple of weeks, seems like a pretty cool little country. Been to Canada and all over the US.

I'm planning a trip, just my mom and I, this summer (my dad's paying but he can't come because of work) as my Dad and I's birthday present to here and as a light at the end of the tunnel for her rehab after her surgery. Any suggestions for either or places close-by to visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions for either or places close-by to visit? I spent Christmas and New years in Athens with my wife 4 years ago. I hung out with Alex Flouros and Myron Stratis as well as a whole host of Greek people who were some of the best people that I have ever met... I had a blast I have been to istanbul years ago and that was very cool as well but I dont think that I will be going back, the wife is of Cypriate descent... It all depends on what you want to do... For Sun and sand, French Polynesia was INCREDIBLE... For some of the hottest babes on the planet, Helsinki Finland, Reyjavik Iceland and Sidney Australia kept my Hammer deep in The clam of some of the most beautiful women that I have ever seen anywhere( and they loved the fact taht I was American) Prague is an Awesome City, lots of culture, great beer and hot women....

Tell us why it was your favorite too if you like, and share travel stories. Man, you guys are lucky!I've been to about 20 U.S. states, vacation in Florida regulalry and also have family out in seattle -- very beautiful place. I've been to Niagara falls as well as some other famous landmarks.My dream one day is just to take a trip to Europe with some buds and just go everywhere and do everything. I'd really like to go to Rome, Athens, England, France and Germany. I've always (since I was a little kid) wanted to visit Egypt and the Great Pyramids (yes, I know, not quite Europe). I'm really fascinated with ancient Egyptian culture and architecture-- so for one day to see it up close would be amazing. Some of my family used to live there and they're always telling me how awesome of a place it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you misunderstood my question -- I was asking about suggestions around Athens and Istanbul. We're definitely going to both. My mom has wanted to see Athens since she was little, and I've been studying a lot about the Ottomans and Turks and have wanted to see Istanbul for a while now. Both should be lots of fun -- we're really looking to see historical stuff, landmarks, museums, and to experience some "real" culture while we're at it and it'd be really nice to see some great nature as well. We'll probably spend like 2 weeks between the two, so plenty of room for day trips and all as well, which is the other thing I was asking about. Sounds like you've had a blast big man.

Members STEEL KAGE Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 That's all very cool, but Israel, dude.

I'd really like to go to Israel one day. I mean {censored}, I want to go everywhere. Hopefully whatever I end up doing will allow for that. As you know Jason recently went, and I'm hoping to go with him when he goes back. We've talked about living on a Kibbutz for a year later on in life.

Get any book on the attractions around Athens; The Acropolis, The Oracle at Delphi(3 hour bus ride but worth it) There are loads of museums... You will not be at a loss for historical interests... I did my share of Sightseeing in istanbul but most of my time there was partying, Im sorry that I dont have much more to offer on that one...

Then Pakistan too.AmericasPeruTo me that is a lot of places, and you can't single one out that is "the best", because every place has its own magic going on - although quite a few european countries are not all that interesting because they are vey similar to each other - but you knew that already I want to see more of latin america though...

Besides , I dont think that I could fake being a Jew for that long.... I think it would be an interesting chance for introspection and reflection. But yeah, it'll probably never realize.I've been learning lately that my spiritual beliefs are pretty close to Kabbalistic Judaism, so maybe I could fake it.
