    Despite the contents of this thread, this is a legitimate question.

    Are you leaving to escape the Hey Barfo threads?

    As for the question, I've been to Barcelona, Stockholm, Singapore, Thailand, and the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

    I've been to all of those places too! Favorite of them all? Where abouts in Thailand did you go? What did you think of Sweden?

    I got to Tijuana in the morning and left that afternoon. Probably spent too much time.

    Three different port calls in Chile
    Two weeks in Australia
    Port calls in Bahrain, three different cities in the UAE, Singapore, Thailand, Guam, Japan, and New Guinea.
    Had a BBQ on top of our submarine while going thru the Panama Canal. Did not stop.
    Did a cruise where I made 7 port calls in the South Carribean. Couple of days in Puerto Rico (not technically out of the US though)
    Costa Rica for a week

    Pattaya and Bangkok in Thailand.

    Barcelona is easily the favorite. My brother and I went to see FC Barcelona play and it turned out to be the night they were presented with the La Liga trophy for the first time in five years and Henrik Larsson returned from injury. Larsson was a big deal since we were both pretty big Celtic supporters at the time as a local bar back home was an Official Celtic Supporters Bar.

    Sweden was nice. I'd probably have enjoyed it more if I was older and had more money as everything was incredibly expensive. We saw Sweden v. Portugal at the Rasunda. There were a couple of older Swedish men sitting infront of us who were astounded to hear people speaking English with American accents in Stockholm and able to keep up with what was happening.
