    That looks like a pretty badass spot. This was a honeymoon trip for you and your wife, right?

    yeah but the tourist to thief ratio is much better when the crowds show up..go early and they'll all practice on you to warm up for the season.

    I can't wait to see the "We're Pregnant" thread in the coming months. Congrats on finally losing your v-card!

    My son in law and granddaughter are in Phuket right now feasting on the food...they are stopping there on the way back from Singapore and will head home to San Diego soon...I really could do with some ocean front Phuket dining about now.

    I think our next trip will be in Asia. Maybe targeting Japan. My wife hasn't traveled much, but Thailand is one of the places she has been internationally (other than Mexico) before meeting me.

    I may want to do a Paris at Christmas time trip later in the year. We'll see though.

    Eating out is so much cheaper out versus the US. Also, you can tell the food is way healthier and less preservatives/processed foods.

    I actually went to Subway (not my choice), and the sandwich was actually pretty good

    I'm seriously considering wintering in Asia when the world settles down a bit. I love the food in Thailand, Japan, Vietnam and Taiwan best. Mainland China uses cooking oil till it's way beyond rancid and washes dishes in dirty water....India the same....gotta be careful eating in those two countries.

    I really need to go to Hong Kong again before it goes full-on China. Thailand is pretty intriguing to me too. Vietnam, I'd probably have to have my cousin that lived there in Hanoi come with us, just to show us the ropes.

    I'm afraid it's too late....still has great, great food though...just not the vibe it used to...it's a great place to eat...lousy place to sleep...best fried noodles and roast duck and pork on the planet in my view though.

    Booked a 3 day weekend in July for Vegas at Encore. Got a great rate from their promo dept, but we may cancel because we were gonna watch my Wifey's nephew in a ninja warrior competition but he broke his arm playing baseball.

    Dunno, Vegas was a bit ghetto and crowded last time I was there, so not too keen on it. Looking for alternatives.

    May do Vancouver, Canada. May fly to Seattle and drive over so we won't have to do a covid test.

    May look at other options, maybe Nashville, maybe Cabo.

    Do Victoria instead of Vancouver.

    Been to both many times, I like the food options in Vancouver better, as well as the shopping, and the vibe. Vancouver is probably my favorite weat coast city to visit.
