Speed Racer Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Here you are "~tangerine~." My Palm Centro doesn't really do so good, but better than nothing. Pics reduced greatly. Very hazy day. A picture from near Panther Creek and Fontana Dam. Looking Glass Falls. Fontana Lake, off the dam. I bet their nips are standing on end, brrr. Quote
~tangerine~ Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Beautiful pics...i really wanted to sit under that waterfall Quote
Speed Racer Posted July 27, 2008 Author Posted July 27, 2008 Beautiful pics...i really wanted to sit under that waterfall If you had clothes and towels you would have...and thank you tangerine. Maybe Electrophile will come in for a dip. No, that's not a joke, we are renowned as great hosts. Quote

AMAZONIC Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I had the most beautiful holiday of my life in Palm Cove, Far North Queensland, November 2007. Such a magical spot. The beauty of the nature, the wilderness, the rainfall forests, spectacular tropical flowers, the barrier reef, ...I have never seen such beauty before. If we forget about what this sign says, we could say it's a paradise on earth... Quote

Gainsbarre Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I've got a free business class ticket to fly anywhere on the Qantas network, so I was thinking of going to Buenos Aires, has anyone been there? Quote
brspled Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I've got a free business class ticket to fly anywhere on the Qantas network, so I was thinking of going to Buenos Aires, has anyone been there? Yes, I have. It's a beautiful city, great food, great people, everything is very cheap at the moment there... I'm sure you'll have a good time if you decide for it. Quote
Gainsbarre Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Yes, I have. It's a beautiful city, great food, great people, everything is very cheap at the moment there... I'm sure you'll have a good time if you decide for it. Thanks! I've never been to South America before so I'd like to go. I'd love to go to Brasil as well. I could see myself sitting on Corcovado with Joao Gilberto Quote
Speed Racer Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 ohhhh my speedracer that looks absolutely gorgeous!! as do all the pics--however after seein that sign I'd be lucky to get my feet wet...dang I think you have a sign from 'Down Under,' confused with other places which are roughy 22hrs airflight from each other Do clarify/ Quote
AMAZONIC Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I think you have a sign from 'Down Under,' confused with other places which are roughy 22hrs airflight from each other Do clarify/ good one, SpeedRacer! Katydigood, that was the sign on my holiday spot Oh yeah, while I was holidaying there I read in the paper that a woman almost got "chewed" by a cute croc a couple of days before in a secluded beach not far from Palm Cove. No wonder all the hotels there have luxurious swimming pools I wish I could say that those were the only dangers in that magical holiday spot, but unfortunately you'd better watch out the ssssshh....snakes too Quote
Speed Racer Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 good one, SpeedRacer! Katydigood, that was the sign on my holiday spot Oh yeah, while I was holidaying there I read in the paper that a woman almost got "chewed" by a cute croc a couple of days before in a secluded beach not far from Palm Cove. No wonder all the hotels there have luxurious swimming pools I wish I could say that those were the only dangers in that magical holiday spot, but unfortunately you'd better watch out the ssssshh....snakes too Thank you I've never been real keen on salt water swimming myself. Fresh water lakes are ok. I prefer a pool though. Kitty pools? Well I'm reserving judgment on that one I still have Australia on my travel list...however I have a place on the East Coast U.S.A in September and a California Vacation following it. All travels to the U.K. have been cancelled due to recent terrorist activities. There's just too many gorgeous places to see and things to do to deal with all the little frustrations. You never know. Trixie and I may meet up with you one day. Quote
AMAZONIC Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I still have Australia on my travel list... You never know. Trixie and I may meet up with you one day. More than happy to welcome you both here Quote
Speed Racer Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 More than happy to welcome you both here Thank you. Trixie owns a home back here and I have one too. So if you wish we will swap. People here are very warm. We chase off all the booger heads with. I or Trixie will stay in contact with you. I gotta roll. Nitrous button>>>>vroom? Quote
katydidgood Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Yes I really should have clarified--I thought "as are all the pics" was a clue I was speaking about all the posts. I am always accused of being too vague....so no surprise, I've done it again... love to all katy Quote

I am always accused of being too vague....so no surprise, I've done it again... love to all katy Just a clarification Katy. I have a friend who said your ok by the way. Let brown nosers call it what they wish. We prefer to say communicating, or shmoozing Where was your last vacation? I wouldn't swim with that sign either. Peace Quote
Medhb Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Yes I really should have clarified--I thought "as are all the pics" was a clue I was speaking about all the posts.

Speed Racer Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Thank you Spats. If you ever want to come for a vacation let me know, and I know there are girls everywhere. You hang in there and don't let these people run you or tell you what you can or cannot due. It is your life. I make suggestions but they are only that...suggestions. Be strong, hold your head high and breath like a MAN! Quote
