Thursday #27 - Getaway Vacation

I had this idea for next Thursday. Richard and I have chartered an airplane. (Richard is rich you know).

Hurry and make your reservation now - we can fly anywhere you like - all day. Be sure to say what you want to eat and drink so we can be sure that all of the supplies are on board.

Everything is FIRST CLASS! Yes, you can bring your pets, but they must behave!

Start putting in your travel requests early so that we can be sure to route the plane and not miss any destinations.

[we will need some to stay and clean the plane when we get home]

(since this a virtual day off, you don't even have to ask for permission to leave work)

How about Iceland?

Great idea - and we can pick up EssTer and see her beautiful country!

I agree, totally!!! That's a great place to start.....and don't forget Ireland and England.....two places I would love to visit, eventually.....just don't want to bring home the British "crud"'' that Scott did this past week! :eek:

"Hey Boss, de Plane, de plane"

My dream vacation is Australia/New Zealand, but since we only have a day I'll take the coast of Maine so I can fill up on lobster tails with garlic butter.

Hey - it is a "virtual" day of vacation. We can go anywhere you like and stay as long as you want.

ICELAND
ENGLAND (without crud)
IRELAND
NEW ZEALAND
AUSTRALIA
MAINE (with lobsters)

"Of all the places where the Carnival
Was most facetious in the days of yore,
For dance, and song, and serenade, and ball,
And masque, and mime, and mystery, and more
Than I have time to tell now, or at all,
Venice the bell from every city bore,
and at the moment when I fix my story,
That sea-born city was in all her glory."
~ Lord George Byron

Just drop me off at the Accademia Gallery and the Marciano Museum, please. *dreamy sigh*

And we can capture Miss Meow!!!

Travelling is my thing, so I'm definately joining this. ;) I'd like to go to Dominican Republic again, the weather is great and you can go snorkling. The hotel standard is above average I'd say, but still it's cheap. One of my reasons for choosing this destination is that I can brush up my spanish! :eek:

There's one place we must not miss there - that's Cafe Cito in Puerto Plata, owned by a canadian ex consul - a real nice guy! :D

If you like to smoke cigars, I have a real good connection there. ;)

Oh, and if you like Pina Coladas, they know how to make them!!

It's just a "figure" of speech.......I was kidding......

I want to go to Norway and Poland and while I'm over that way, I may as well stop in to see Randi in Denmark and Vio in Moldova, and anybody else in that part of the country. Then I'd love to see Russia. Oh, and I don't want the typical tourist destinations in any of these spots. I want to see the "real" country and the "real" people that live and work there - oops, add Belgium to the list so I can visit Lut and Niina!

I have Norwegian and Polish roots and I've always wanted to visit those countries. Terry doesn't understand (he's smitten with Germany) so it's highly unlikely that I'll ever really get there, so this virtual trip will be fantastic!

Thanks Richard, I didn't know you were rich, but now that I think about it, I guess your real name is Ard and the Rich in front of it is telling us all we need to know. ;) :p :D

And Captain too!!! If we are in Austraila I want to see the Spotty dogs!!!

Can we make it down to Belize for a little scuba in the Blue Hole? That would be great. And those who don't scuba could hang out in San Pedro for a while. Then we could meet for some mai tai by the pool. I'd like some conch fritters if you please. Maybe some oysters and some fresh catch.

Ah, I love this thursday!

Can we visit the scottish moors so I can see where my ancesters came from?
What is being served bar keep?

IRISH WHISKEY????;)


let me think...


remember it's kinda crowded in the CONCORDE so be prepared to get to know your seat neighbor.

Today has been one of the worst days at work. Is the bar open??? I could use some company, some humour and a drink.

I'm here slick and I could use some of the same. :)

So Slick....what did the masochist say to the sadist....

Beat me, beat me....

and what did the sadist say....

no.

I'm having a nice French Chardonnay while waiting for my husband to get home (he says the merlot is his :( :rolleyes: )

LOL :D It's like an ex-friend of mine used to say "beat me, beat me, I feel cheap!!"

OOps, sorry I know this is a respectable bra....I mean bar.

Tonya: I'd like to help myself and get you one, but I don't have the keys to the liquor cabinet. I think either MOFF or Catland has the spare set. For now, water it is. We'll be celebrating your 5,000 next week.:) :) Glad to see you are on board with us again. Nice to have you back.

All of the reports that were due today are done - it has been a long day. And when I went to the post office IT IS RAINING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW!

I don't usually get quite so excited about rain - but I am sure everyone will know why I am ecstatic!

Alright Richard - bring on the Meyer's............yum!!

And don't forget on the Concorde (gosh, thanks, Richard, for leasing it) you can order ANYTHING you want!

The intinerary is coming along, but there is still plenty of time to put in your request for anywhere in the world!

And me too?
Eliza has spots, and she's a quasi-dog!! :D

I want to go to Australia please! Must see Zanzanfergie and her precious birdies, Austin and Lachie........and of course Captain Crunch's pink, non-spotted feathered baby!

Can you pick me and the mutts up whilst in Australia aswell?

Ohhhhh Ireland *Sighs* i cant wait. Can we please go to Canada as well and NZ *Sighs even more* (i want to visit a friend of mine in NZ who wont be home for another 3 years).

ill be happy aslong as you have Midori illusions in the shaker though none of the bottled stuff :D thankyou

Wow! Fjords, I've always wanted to see them. Can we take a ride in a Viking ship? Also, let's check out the Ryukyu Islands.

Marciano Museum in Venice Zip? I knew the French had a thing for Jerry Lewis but didn't know about the Italians & old boxing legions :rolleyes: And where would I like to go? hmmm right now back in time sounds OK or maybe to the second star on the right to NeverNever land. Lobster with drawn butter sounds good and maybe some scones with clotted cream while in England. But I'm tired right now and need to smooth some cats & walk the dogs on this lovely Fall morn. By the way, I enjoyed the Halloween Party but guess you guys couldn't see me in my Lamont Cranston costume (aka The Shadow).

How about England and Austrailia? That way I can get the best of both of the accents.

I would mind going back to Cozumel, where Ralph and I went for our Honeymoon!

I've always wanted to go to Costa Rica, or Africa to see the beautiful animals! I would also like to spend a little time in Australia and New Zealand.....or wherever Orlando Bloom happens to be shooting his next movie! :D

I know this sounds silly but can I stop in the US in California to visit with my sis for just a bit? Please? I haven't seen her in so long.

As far as what I want to eat, well since I won't be able to get a sitter Dylan will have to come with me. :o So make that some grahm crackers, a gallon of 2% milk, some 7 grain bread and mild cheddar cheese with real chicken breast slices, and spinach for our sandwhiches. Some nice ceasar salad, with pieces of salmon, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and croutons! :D Have to have Calamari, and stuffed grape leaves, deep fried cheese sticks and some artichoke with butter! And for my main course, a nice big plate of Parmesan (sp?) Salmon with wild grain rice and creamy garlic mash potatoes! I'll make sure to eat breakfast before we leave!

Geez, I don't ask for much do I?:p

You don't have to ask for that. All you have to do is get in a car and drive down, for quite a few hours. :p He he he

Sorry, I don't/won't fly even cyberly. I tried it once in a small twin engine Cessna? I will never do it again. I'll wait until I get to heaven and get my wings before I get my old behind off the ground again. I'll just stay here and fix my own stuff this week. Thanks for the offer though.

I'll keep you company MOFF. I'll get the pilot to swing by and let me off mid-stream. Then you and I can cook up ourselves a mess of lobster that I bring back. The rest can carry on with their world tour. Sound OK??? We can look after the bar and make sure it's fully stocked for when the crowd returns.

Well, MOFF, I have never been to Kansas. Do you think you could handle all of us coming to visit you? We don't want to leave anyone out of the fun especially a regular at Thursdays. And we could bring you food and your choice of any drink. It would probably be written up in your local newspaper too.:D

see....great minds think alike.........only a minute apart in posting.

Did we jump you MOFF or what?:)

I've never been to Kansas. In fact, the rest of the world doesn't really interest me that much (except Australia). There is so much more in the US and Canada I'd like to see. Should I just click my heels 3 times??
