stormsabrewin~, I don't have enough kleenex, the tears of hilarity are rolling down my chheks, taking the remnants of scary femininity with them.

You make me laugh!!!!!!

My husband called from another room to see if I needed my inhaler, then I politely yelled back "bring me some wine asap, this is good stuff"!!!!!
Please report back when you have all your plans together. your new pal, J.

P.S. I do hope mama would approve of me.

storm~ just a helpful bit of guidance.. you best keep your "fancy thoughts" safely tucked away.. you never know what may happen around here if you reveal too much, too soon.
Where are you thinking of traveling first, my dear? Domestic or exporting your fine self?
Remember that leather in summer is considered a taboo by many, and the SPF should be a number somewhat higher than your shoe size. ttfn, J.

WELCOME, stormsabrewin! Your mama sounds like one smart cookie to me. She must have been ahead of her time - even scientists now say one glass of red wine may be the best antioxidant around!

Anxiously awaiting more on your travel plans. Here's to you!

Mama always said "a plane's like a box o' chocolates". You never know if the person next to you is a nut, liqueur filled, or just cordial, hee hee...

Good one . . . the same can be said for the poster on Fodor's before your post or following it! ;-)

Hey, Jetset, I'm back tonight, where are you? BayouGal, that sure was a funny story about the farting passenger you were sitting next to.

It was not funny at the time, SpeedBuggy, I can assure you!

Recently discovered this web site when hubby & I were planning our 25th anniversary trip to Hawaii! What great suggestions came from everyone. Will continue checking website for planning our 1st trip to SF! We live in PA but will be our third trip to the west coast!

Speedbuggy~ hop around.. I just posted elsewhere(hiccup, hiccup). J.

I joined this afternoon and have been reading nonstop. I love the info and it seems that everyone has a sense of humor for the most part. I live close to Raleigh NC and love to travel when I can. Just returned from Honduras and Guatemala but that was a work trip so not much time for fun. Going to NYC and Destin FL for fun in August. Can't wait to have some r&r.

Looking forward to receiving and sharing some fun info!

SEEUATC~ hmm, I was trying to decipher your screeN name.. we could make it a game.

See you at the coroner?
See you after the Crisis!
See you at sea..

Any other playahs?

p.s. Welcome in any event=D>

I, too, thought is must be "see you at sea." Anyone else?

Hey, anybody out there? Seeuatc, J, SpeedBuggy???? :-?

Yes dear, but one finds it SO challenging to be bi-postal around here J.

topping for Starrsville. Trying to top these to keep you up on the good ones but some of the best have already been snatched by big brother!!

sigh....

J, what'd you think of Mat's joke? I feel like I missed something . . .????

um, well.. lol.. lol...I got it, but perhaps I shouldn't admit it.

uh-oh...bayou are you really that naive? i've got to get me some frogs and pretty soon people will start talking about us making this our personal chat room....just because we seem to be the only three on fodors right now...laters!

Hello!

I just found this site and love it! I'm from California - the SF Bay Area.

I am going to Europe for the first time in about a week - going through Holland for one week and then Paris and London the second week. I'm really excited and plan to have an awesome time.
