Where in the world is Rainman San Diego?

**Rain Man** · 03-02-2005, 04:38 PM

Is this cool or what? My in-laws had us over for dinner last week as a belated birthday dinner for me. They then mentioned that they've acquired like a zillion frequent flyer miles and want to take a trip. They're taking my wife along, and I get to tag along, too, since someone needs to carry luggage and stuff.

They've given us the following locations to choose from. Where do we go? Where do we go?

(Background: my in-laws are in their 70s, but in very good shape. Even so, they're not into a whole lot of walking or anything, so we can't do a real high-impact trip. If we go international, I'll kind of be the point man, I figure.)

**Rain Man** · 03-02-2005, 04:43 PM

Can I do that if my in-laws are going to be nearby?

Maybe I need to start practicing my peripheral vision.

**CosmicPal** · 03-02-2005, 04:43 PM

Never travel with your in-laws anywhere. It's a course ripe with disaster!

**Rain Man** · 03-02-2005, 04:44 PM

I should note that neither of them is a ninja, as far as I know.

Berlin down to Belize...HAH!

I have a hard enough time accompanying my in-laws down the street to the local Mexican restaurant. I certainly wouldn't wish to TRAVEL anywhere with them.

**AustinChief** · 03-02-2005, 04:45 PM

It depends on where you have been before and such... but Hawaii is nice all year round. Germany is horrible right now.. and France hates us. Oh and Italy or Switzerland??? bah!

Germany would be nice in the summer though.

On second thought - if you take them to Italy, you could have them disposed of.... capiche?

POLAND

Get it? Poll-land?

**AustinChief** · 03-02-2005, 04:47 PM

oh.. and all of Europe requires alot of walking and smoking... and absinthe... I'm not sure they are up for all that.

(oh and I almost forgot the Russian hookers...)

On a serious note (God forbid), if you haven't been to Hawaii, go there. It's literally paradise on earth. Each island is different, however, so be sure to speak with those who have been there to make sure you hit the right islands. You'd think they're all the same, but they definitely are NOT.

Too bad they don't have a NASCAR race there.

He's a sticky-fingered pollster from Berlin down to Belize,
He'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Rainman Sandiego?

Poll their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica vote for Gaz,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas his steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Rainman Sandiego?

He'll go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!

Well he'll ask 'bout Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then he'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
He asked for answers to the questions when he stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Rainman Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can he be?

Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!

Well he glides around the globe and he'll query every nation,
He's a poll-making master with a taste for thievery,
His itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Rainman Sandiego?
