I lived in the Domincan Republic for 10 months, visited Haiti while I was there. I was in Japan for 3 weeks while in High School. That's pretty much it, unless you count Mexico. LOL
Which countries have you been to? Why?

I've been to Canada three times and Disneyland twice.
Well...yeah, I guess you can count Canada. It was always kind of a quick in and out thing.

I went into Canada once. I was up in Montana and saw a sign, US and Canada boarder. So I walked about 50' past it just so I could say I'd been there.
Been to Mexico more times than I could count. Getting ready to take the wife back there in a few minutes to do a little Christmas shopping.
The best Beer is made right here in the US, with Germany running at a distant second place. Most of those foreign beers taste like they were siphoned off the lagoon behind a dairy barn.

So where have you been Leonard?
I love Pacifico the very mostest.
The D.R. made a really good one called Presidente. (Not the Mexican one)
I was going through a Copenhagen stage when I moved down there. When I couldn't find any, I was so desperate I began buying Domincan cigar tobacco to suck on. It did the trick until I took up cigarettes. Coming back home I quit smoking in lieu of my beloved Cope' and then I quit even chewing tobbacco...about 14 times. I think its for good this time though! ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

I dont get out much, I could count all the states I've been to on one hand!!(Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Georgia, and Ohio. Oh and Montana so I guess that's more than 1 hand) I can honestly say that I've never been to CA. Some people think that is odd being that I live in Utah, but just haven't had a reason to go to CA. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) But Bryan has promised to take me on a cruise ![[Cool]](cool.gif) next year on our anniversary, so then I can say I've been outside of the US

Huntress, almost as bad as my sister-in-law! She has never been on an airplane.
California (I guess?) is almost like a foreign country. I know we have a lot of foreigners.
Good hunting. LB

New York City should be a country ! I was there on Union business in the 80's. My God what a town. 1/3 of the western U.S. Alaska, Hawaii, and British Columbia everyday, 2x a day for the past 4 years. A ! I work out of there hauling hog fuel to a power plant.

I too have been in the Dom Rep, April to June 1965 won a free trip from Uncle Sam with the 82nd Abn to help put down a civil war.
Went to Grenada, again my rich Uncle paid for it, Oct 1983.
Panama Dec 1989, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and a few other places in South and Central America.
Spent some time the the Pacific also, a real fun place called Vietnam, Okinawa, Korea, HongKong, Singapore, Formosa (now called Taiwan).
Africa, most of the countries south of the Sahara and of course most of Europe. Also been to several of the Mid East countries and a few other places I had rather not say. Oh, almost forgot Australia, called dingo while I was there.

I don't travel much by choice. Work sends me around the US a bit here and there, but that has been winding down for a few years too. Been to the Caribean a few times, Canada, Mexico, that's about it.
But! I've been on more obscure two tracks in the middle of nowhere, covering a 400 mile radius out of Salt Lake City, than anyone else I've ever met! And, anymore, I'll take a rough trail through big old ocean of sage brush with nobody in it over most other forms of travel. Although, I do have to admit, sitting on a beach all day watching the world go by, with a pretty girl bringing me drinks a ready supply of fresh Dominican's at my side is tough to beat!

I also perfer being in the middle of nowhere, miles from any type civilization. I like the lack of people in this area as well.
The summer time tourist traps in the bigger cities are fun, going overseas would be a great experience, but it would have to be extremely temporary.
There was no way anyone could have prepared me for the culture shock I would take going from here to southern California for a week with the ethnic differences, number of people, trafic, ect. Most was due to the fact that I was still young, but it was a lot to absorb at once. Even being to Regina Saskatachewan three times, it's tough to shake that "fish out of water" feeling.

I'll tell ya, guys.
Some here will never know the feeling described in the above two posts, but I do. The main thing is that it's shrinking. I go back to a remote place the next year, and now they have a Circle K on the corner, and building houses across the street.
I will never forget the night we were on a Club hunt, and in a hurry. Turning off the Interstate, and a blacktop and skirting around a fence, thirty miles down a two track at two A.M.
Suddenly, throw on the binders! There, in the middle of each tire track depression, was two dark forms. Must have been real comfy, but we could have rolled over both, had we not been lucky. And, they raised up, yelling at us as we disturbed their commute with nature; and the peace and quiet.
I see way more folks camped out in the middle of nowhere, than years ago, BLM land.
Easterners don't have a lot of that, I'm told? But, now we have the ENVIRONMENTALISTS that want to fence off all of our public land!
I just don't get it? What makes these people tick?
Good hunting. LB
