I'll add it to my list. And I agree, Vietnam wouldn't be my first choice either if I was in the part of the globe, I'd be looking at Bali and that whole chain.

But if you're adventuresome and don't mind drysuit diving, diving some of fjords on the west coast of Norway should be on your bucket list. A very different experience, but well worth it IMO.

Bali? Tons of great diving in Indonesia but if I were planning a dive trip to Indonesia I would skip Bali and go to Raja Ampat or Sulawesi or Mabul or Komodo. Far less touristed areas.

I really can't argue with you there. But hey, it's a place I'd love to spend a year and just sail around and just dive. Add Palau while I'm there... The 'ol Blue Corner dive and reef hooks...

Close to home…

Lake Haiyaha was something to behold before the rockslide; can't wait to see it again afterwards. Did you hike up there before the rockslide?

OUTSTANDING!!!

I'd hiked in the area previously, but not to Haiyaha itself. The whole area is gorgeous.

Some fun pics from last week's tip up and down the Exumas...

Good times..

We got home from a trip to Iceland yesterday and boy do I have photos.

Nice! Iceland is on our bucket list. I don't know anyone who has gone and not loved.

City Market looked nice early a few Sundays ago.

Fireworks convention was in town a few months ago and they did a show around Liberty Memorial.

Very nice...

Yeah, that one needs to be printed on glass and put on your wall. Very nicely done...

Picture #3 is so perfect it looks like a painting and not a photo.

Great stuff. Looking forward to more.

Went to Alaska a few weeks ago. Some hiking and some fresh air it was really nice out there.

Nice, we went a couple of years ago. Alaska is just big in every way. I'd love to go back.

As a lover of cold weather and salmon it was a very nice destination.

Gorgeous vids. Zach, in that first video about 10 secs in there are some flashes on the island towards the right edge. Was that just rain hitting the camera or what was it?

Killer pics and videos, Zach.

Did not notice that until you mentioned it yea there was a lil mist there I think that was rain.

Some castles I visited in June.

Where are we here exactly?

Osaka and Himeji.

That is great. Japan is on my list...it might be a few years though...focused on exploring Istanbul Turkey.

My Japan flights are booked for next July. :)

Going to be hot and humid and prepare to walk.

Watch the TV show on PBS "Journeys in Japan" and you will be stunned at all that Japan has to offer. Really learned a lot about the country I never knew. Can't believe how beautiful the southern islands are near Okinawa. Then the beauty of the northern mountains.

Really incredible diversity.

Yeah, I'm aware. We may end the trip in Sapporo to escape it a bit. But otherwise, we'll survive.

I have never been north of Tokyo. Both of my trips were in Kansai and Kanto regions.

More from Osaka.

Came to the thread after reading Zach and Glory's spat about fat in Scho's thread, and the three of you have posts on this last page about Alaska, Palau, and Okinawa. Went to Alaska in the spring, currently in Palau, heading to Oki soon. Sometimes I think I live in the Truman Show, too many coincidences.

Outstanding!!! If you dive, LORD you need to get in the water. If not, at least snorkel..

I got back from Roatan a few weeks ago and I'll be heading to Cozumel in February for at lest two weeks but maybe more if the diving is right(like Bonaire, it's sort of my second home!!!), then Cayman Brac again in May, 2024.

Life is good, diving makes it all the more perfect...

Some really nice “restaurants” in Nishinari-ku. :D

That sounds awesome. If I had more time in one place, I'd get schooled up on diving. For now, snorkeling has been my huckleberry. My fair skin doesn't fare well here with the reef-safe sunscreen you've gotta use, though.

These days people just do the long sleeve rash guard. You still have to protect the legs, feet, face, ears, nose and neck, but that can be done.

some timelapses from Snowshoe, WV
