We have beaches and drinks here without all the vaccine and anti-malarials. Never mind all the potential water borne and ricketsial diseases.
OT:Travel....again

That seems nuts, especially the Covid shot. I'm on the same page as you with travel, but no way in hell I am doing Covid.
Yeah that was the one that I asked about but after a day of feeling crappy it should be fine
Most people have issues with the pneumococcal vaccine. That’s one I’m reluctant to get and I’ve had all the COVID boosters.
You’re gonna get myocarditis or blood clots
Prague is a Top 5 trip for me. Beautiful, walkable and very coat efficient. Some great day trips from Prague as well. Budapest was similar. Same thoughts about Vienna as you.
I’m flying to Rome tomorrow for a couple of days. Then train to Parma. Work trip but fun will be had along the way. Italy will always be my favorite destination. Historic brilliance in every region. Rome the crown jewel, Verona a hidden gem, and Pompei is a portal to 2000 years ago.
Growing up in the Midwest it was very monoculture. I really have always wanted to be surrounded by others that are different beliefs, languages and history. I just love going into new places and see in person what was once something in a book or on tv. I sat in Red Square Moscow a few years ago late at night and just recorded the area and it was maybe a 60 second video but there must have been 3 or 4 different languages being spoken and none were English . I just like stuff like that. This scene hit me as well.
Nice!
Not something I have ever been into. I lived in Chicago most my life, so things like hearing different languages and seeing different people was just the norm.
And smart plane plans! I hate sitting in the cramped sections!
That's the ironic thing I hate flying. Like I take Xanax every now and then for it. Hate it so so much
You could just go to South Beach and get that. And foreigners don't shut the f up either. Always running their mouth.
Outside of taking care of my family, travel is the driving force behind our retirement savings efforts. About 16 years ago, my wife and I flew into Paris and, upon arrival, walked around the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Élysée at about 9p….sun still out and we were hooked. Experience the world has been an obsession ever since.
For those that don’t like to travel, cool. Do whatever makes you happy.
Haha!
I don't mind flying, like, it doesn't scare me or bother me...it is just SOOOOOOO BORING. Just like driving. Anything over about 3 hours kills me.
Holy shit, you travel with your wife? On purpose??
KIDDING! KIDDING!
How ere the french fries in Paris?
Love experiencing new places. Absolutely hate airplanes and airports. We need teleportation to be a thing in real life.
Your odds of getting those are much higher from the actual virus than the vaccine.
I am the same way! I will definitely take my flying pill when we go to Ireland in 3 weeks.
I love everything about it except the plane ride there and even then I just have cocktails. I love the history, the architecture, the food, the drink and just seeing something different outside of the US. Back in the day I would party and have a good time with women from other countries and it is a blast. It's definitely not for everyone, but I love travelling the world.
I definitely do not have the travel bug. I think the wife has finally given up on me and is going with friends to Europe. We are going to fly into Dulles in July. Stay with her younger brother in DC for the night then drive down to North Carolina to see her mom. Stay 3 days there then drive up to Cape May, NJ. Going to a wedding involving some Nebraska friends. Beach towns are always fun and seeing old friends is always great so that should be a good time. However, I am already thinking the best part of the trip is when I pull into the garage when we get back home.
Amen!
I find traveling so tiring. Don't get me wrong, I love drinking and partying. I just hate the travel part.
