Yeah, but no time frame as of yet. I've allways wanted to see where my family originated from. I told the wife I would give up birthday, Christmas, and aniverery presents to offset the price of that trip I told you about, but I'll take your advise, shop around, and maybe I can still get some presents from time to time. And if the gals all come out in the summer, I'll have to make sure and get some dark sun glasses, for "gal watching".

:lol: 8)

:thinking: Heikki, can you still get monthly Eurail passes? A friend of mine did that in the 80s and had a great time (said he liked Sweden so much he went there 6 times :lol: )

can't wait

Postby Ivar the Red » Mon Dec 17, 2007 6:27 am

OH 4 DAYS UNTIL VACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I think I'll leave early on Thursday. Going to see Mom in Florida for Christmas. I think I'll give myself a sunburn and some beach sand in my butt crack for a present. :lol: 8) The day after Christmas, we're all going to the Hard Rock Casino, I hope we do good, if I have any winnings left, on the way home we'll stop in Shreveport to watch the Buffalos win the Independance Bowl. Can't wait, can't wait!! :D


Oh excuse my manners, Good Morning everyone, How was your weekend?

Yes, beach pictures for us with wind chills around 5F today would be nice! :( Well, maybe not! They would just make me jealous and want to go south for the winter. :)

Come to think of it, I am getting to the age that I could become a 'SnowBird'!! ;) Nah, that ain't gonna happen. When I go south, it's gonna be permanent for sure. Wife keeps saying she is retiring in another 5 years and we are out of here. We'll see!! 8)

Wait, I got no manners either!! :oops:

Good Morning!!!

PS: Sorry I did not post here yesterday, but then again, neither did you guys!!! :R

Morning All. I've been flat out working towards our 9 day break down here 8) We're thinking of spending some time down the beach, maybe even Christmas Day.
We've also had an invite to go TDing with friends of ours.
Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

I have had a few warm (shorts and t-shirt) Christmases and I don't mine it once in a while.

Ya still need snow and cold to really have a Christmas, IMHO!!! :)

Well I personally would love to get real cold on the beach with a fishing pole in my hot little hand. Just this once. ;)

You guys heading to the beach have fun and please keep the bubble oil level. ;) That means you too Paul. :twisted: :R

I'm for sure I could get used to a warm Christmas, I feel that more and more each year. The wife hates the thought of a green Christmas




Good Morning All
