1. Ah, the Maldives!

Very nice, and what a fine crustacean you have there!

Did you have one of the cottages?

I'm off to Moloka'i Sunday, more business than pleasure.

[HipChick]

3. Solo Vacation..

Best thing i have ever done..

[IrishEyes]

6. My next vacation will be a solo one

No boyfriend planning it all or complaining because he doesn't want to do something. Just fun and adventure. Going where I want to go and doing what I want to do without having to please someone else.

7. And just maybe

finding a man that is not a whiner?

(never crossed your mind, right??)

[IrishEyes]

8. Do you mean?

There are actually men out there that aren't self absorbed whiners like my ex boyfriend. Sorry, just out of a relationship. Should have realized he was not right for me a long time ago. Looking forward to finding a better man later on. I think I'm going to enjoy being single for awhile.

15. Chacun à son goût

For the last 39 years, I've been taking vacations with my girldfiend/wife (the transition happened some 31 years ago), and there hasn't been a one of them I'd have wanted to do alone or with anyone else.

Traveling with someone you're completely comfortable with is THE best.

On the other hand, I can imagine that traveling with someone you are NOT completely comfortable with must be torture. If being single for a while will help you clear your vision for a while, go for it. I haven't been single for nearly 40 years now, and sure as hell don't want to enter a retraining program at this point.

10. BF has a fear of flying

I love to travel...he went back to Friends list..

[marzipanni]

2. Tahiti? Are you staying in one of those over water bungalows?

(I just googled to see what they're called )

Have you been snorkling, and swimming with dolphins, or are you simply sleeping on the beach and feasting on seafood?

[HipChick]

4. in pursuit of being a professional beach bum...

I'm a sea fiend..anything and everything to do with the sea..

[In_The_Wind]

5. Sigh

West Coast of Florida ? On the Gulf ?

[HipChick]

9. Neither...have Passport..

Will travel...

[In_The_Wind]

11. Have passport. Too broke to travel.

[HipChick]

12. Darn it..I had a free companion ticket too

[olddots]

13. HipChick left me at home for this vacation =BASTARD !!!!!

oh sure you get paradise while I get stuck on the 405 for6 hours -------you get lobster -I get Tums -you get waves crashing on the beach -I get leaf blowers from hell and dogs barking. Whaaaaaaa!!!!!

Damn that looks like paradise .

14. I know the feeling. My wife and I just spent 10 days in Jordan.

Absolutely brilliant holiday. Amazing country. amazing people.

First week back, we were saying "where were we last last week at this time?"

We want to go back.

Just as an aside...anything in the US worth seeing????

Just kidding. It's on our Soon-To-Do list.

16. My nephew studied Arabic in college and spent a semester in Jordan

He loved it, too, and is going back to spend this summer there.

[SwissTony]

17. We loved the country and the people.

Speaking Arabic would be a great help although many signs are bilingual and many Jordanians speak English.

Driving in Amman would be stressful (we had a driver). Double parking is apparently allowed, parking in weird places is ok, pedestrians wandering across the street is ok.

Yeah, we're going back.

[DFW]

18. Crazy parking is not unique to Jordan.

Ever been to Boston?

[SwissTony]

19. No. But I've been to Rome.

Parking attendants push cars into place and when you come to collect your car, it might be three deep. They push cars out of the way so you can get your car.

[DFW]

20. It's not a coincidence that one of the major ethnic groups in Boston is.........

Guess who? I'm not saying, but their capital city is in the title of your last post

[SwissTony]

21. A bit of irrelevant knowledge...

I'm Australian and Melbourne is one of the largest Greek cities in the world.

And parking in Greece is farked!!!!

[DFW]

22. I'm not afraid

I can say ??A?? with a straight face

[SwissTony]

24. My maths got me the pronunciation right (according to Google)

but I don't recognise the word.

[DFW]

26. It's the Greek equivalent of "ciao"

I have no idea how Google told you to pronounce it, but the Greeks pronounce it "gYAA-soo" with the initial "g" barely perceptible.

[RILib]

25. Boston, my first thought.

[AsahinaKimi]

23. Those photos make me want to go back to

Tahiti .. sigh.
