If you could drop everything and travel anywhere tomorrow, where would you go?

Yah! And I like those scenic lagoon thatched roof pool bars where you sit on the underwater bar stool and sip a cool cocktail, have a conch taco and feel the breeze

I think travel goes along with @YellowSnow’s other fine spice of life offerings

Response to OP:

Great thread for the future Food & Travel Forum!

If things were China Virus normal, and I was offered and expense paid vacation, I’d like to visit the Swiss Alps or Tasmania. Swiss Alps in summer is one thing that has been on my list for a long time. That one Rick (UW alum) Steves episode where he visited the area above Interlaaken is what I want to see.

For a few weeks I've been thinking about a food forum or health and wellness forum, but I wasn't sure if it was enough to hold its own in this environment. But adding travel might be the ticket.

At some point, you spread yourself too thin. I think we have about the right amount of subforums at this point. Each one has a fairly unique mission, and there's not a lot of overlap. Start breaking it down into finer and finer demographics, and discussion will suffer due to less and less window shopping.

Agree. All the sports are well covered, plus the truck stop. Then, we've got:

Movies/Music/Cigars/Literature/Watches/Finer things + Polls - Yella
Economics/Finance/Real Estate - Creepy
Chinsider Info/Guns/Tits - Wigwam
History/Military/Industry - History Channel presented by Stalin
Politics/Pandemics/Thunderdome - Tug Presented by RaceBannon

We even have a Book Club and AnneLanders. We don't need anything else.

1to392831weretaken makes a very good point. But I'm staying open to it

There have been times where I've wanted to post about certain foods or supplements, and while Yella's seemed like the closest match it still seemed like a square peg in a round hole, so I didn't usually post it at all.

Canada - to fish places like this in a helicopter. I did it once before but got hosed by the weather. I've been jonesing to go back and take another crack at it.

if any bored could be shut down its the football ones. WE SUCK? oops wrong thread,

where to? Travel a summer or two in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Upstate New York staying away from all populated areas, then thru southern Canada crossing into Upper Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota (family roots are in those three)

New England is the only area I haven't been

Edit: talking to the Mrs, it will be soon but not tomorrow we are going to runaway

Spent eight days in Boston and Hyannis in summer 2019. Obviously did Plymouth and drove out to Provincetown, but the interestingest surprise was going to the Whydah Museum on a lark our last day there.

Museum dedicated to the only legit pirate wreck. Last month they announced the discovery of pirate bones among the wreckage, too

We will be flying to Maui next month because Aptos beach water isn't warm enough

I think food is arts and culture and the finer things in life. I’ll allow it.

I watched all of them, but I knew about the golden Dorado a long time ago. I picked up a magazine at the dentist once, way back in the 80s, that ranked the best fighting, freshwater sport fish. These guys won by a mile.

I have always had them on my mind. I was surprised as hell when he featured them on that show. What a freakin paradise.

Don't forget me!

I'll hopefully get on the Skeena system for steelhead at some point. My boss has fished most of it and has multiple, fly caught fish around 40". I wonder if I'd get run out of there for fishing a bobber and jig.

I will never judge. I fished some Pumpeii painted eggs off my bobber fly Rod rig with @dflea

I should have had the big plastic worm.

Spend about 10 days in the Lofoten archipelago area of Norway. Pray for decent weather and explore the chit out of the region along with enjoying a couple nights of Aurora Borealis viewing.




Then head down to Bergen to visit the family for some chillax tim!!
