USA trip

[Ben Kenobi]

I've never really travelled in the US before, but I am looking at taking a trip in a couple months now that I have work, and can afford to go. Specifically, I'd like to go to Texas.

One of the things I would like to do is to visit the polytubbies out that way, and to notify them well ahead of time, so that it doesn't come as a complete surprise. I've wanted to take a trip out this way for some time, but I had other priorities to sort out first.

I also would like some other suggestions as to what sorts of things I should do that way when I go.

If you come via SF/San Jose I'd be more than happy to take you out on the town and show you a good time.

The only place I have been in Texas is San Antonion, and it is one hell of a town

Not sure whether I will fly to Dallas from Seattle, since the flights are quite reasonable, or whether I will take the bus. It depends on how much time work will let me off for.

Thanks. If you are ever up in Vancouver, let me know.

I spoke to my friend, (who's been very busy), and her brother in law doesn't work at the place you applied for.

There are several of us in the Austin/San Antonio area Ben.

ACK!

[Ben Kenobi]

That's what I suspected.

Isn't DFloyd out that way too?

I have a feeling I will be fine, and that we will soon have a poly meet in Seattle or Vancouver very soon

Texas might be good for you, but Utah would be much better.

Yup, I love the 4 corners region from Moab and Green River (Canyonlands and Arches Nat'l Parks and the capital of offroad bicycling) in Utah down into the Hopi and Navajo reservations in Arizona, Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, and the site up in SW Colorado (whats the name?). I gotta get out of Kansas, I really love the west - Lake Powell here I come.

Nah, not enough golf courses

Well Ben, can't guarantee the accomodations'll be any good (single room in a co-op, no couch yet), but you're welcome to crash at my place if you visit Austin.

[Ben Kenobi]

I don't think that's a problem, Ramo.

Thanks for the offer.

I'm planning Dallas, and Houston for sure. Got friends in both places.

Take the bus?



Please, for the love of all that's holy... don't!

/me contemplates a 2,000 mile journey via Greyhound, shudders

If you wanted to go to Seattle then you should have come and hung out with MRT and I last week. We had fun drinking beer.

Oerdin:

Between a day trip to Seattle for fun, or a full-time permanent job, I'll take that job over the day trip.

I wanted to go, but work made the decision easy.

The bus ride should be very interesting to say the least. You will get to rub elbos with some of America's finest. Seriously though, I have met some very interesting people on the bus but sitting on it for hour after hour with no place to take a shower is not my idea of a good time. I sat next to two little girls once and they taught me alll about cartoons and other interesting stuff. Once there was a pimp and his "hoe" on board and he thought he ran the bus. He called the rest of us cattle. Anyway if you get near Tennessee you have a place to stay here.
