Dr. Johnny Fever 12-06-2011 11:18 AM

Yesterday I was in a state of euphoria for a while, followed by a state of contentment. When I awoke from a dream about peeing my pants and was unsure if I actually had for a minute last night, I was temporarily in a state of confusion. Once I figured out I hadn't and that I just needed to go really bad my state turned to relief. Then once I went potty the state of relief became so over-whelming that a state of joyus gratitude toward the muscles surrounding my bladder came over me. Then I went back to bed and fell into a deep state of slumber. Right now I'm in a state of calm acceptance that I have more work to do before going home. Later I'd like to be in a state of drunkeness.

All except Alaska and Montana. Lots of family in Montana, but still haven't been there.

Mrs. HemiEd is from Va. Beach and we took the tunnel to a wedding in Delware a few years ago. It was in a church from the 1700s.

I liked Deleware, and enjoyed it.

Just guessing: Was it Barratt's Chapel? That is a funky old place.

And to all of you who passed through upstate on I-95: We thank you for your toll money...

The Bay Bridge-Tunnel was cool. One of a handful of things I remember fondly about Norfolk.

Actually that may be it. Can't really think of anything else. :grr:

Oh wait, Williamsburg was cool. So there's two.

Yes it was, good call! I was raised in the Methodist Church, and that place really made an impression on me.

I spent a couple years there and had a great time. Loved the beaches, and the outdoors in general. Nagshead and some of the surrounding areas were great.

I'd defect if I could push the button that nuked Norfolk. **** that shithole. I'd love to see the Navy pull out of the area and leave all the scumbag civilians to starve to death.

I still don't understand this. Have you ever taken I-90 across South Dakota? What about I-70 across Kansas and eastern Colorado? Or I-76 to Denver? Those are all infinitely more vile and barren than I-80 through Nebraska. Hell I-80 through Iowa is nothing but cornfield after cornfield.

I think you just hate Nebraska.

Yes, I've taken all of them. And yes, they all suck, especially I-70 across Kansas, which outsucks them all.

But extreme southeastern Nebraska to extreme northwestern Nebraska - seriously, that's up there.

Well as far as distance goes, we do have them all beat because of our panhandle.

But we do have this!

Whaddya want to do in Alaska? Have you considered doing the Alaska Marine Highway System ferry out to Dutch Harbor? Way cool. And a bear watching excursion is a must.

I think there's one in Oklahoma that has a McDonald's. So if you've been driving and staring at the highway for a long time, you can stop there and eat and get exactly the same highway view you'd get while driving.

Thats kinda what I want to do,That or a cruise, Me and the wife have spent our life raising our Daughter and once she decides on her college and I get it paid for, it's on then.

So I'm guessing that you two have never met.


Next vacation, go out west. Check out Utah's parks or the Grand Canyon or the Telluride area in Colorado. It's amazing to see these places in person.

A cruise is definitely more luxurious than the ferries, and Alaska cruises are a great deal. But if you can handle sleeping in bunk beds, the Tustumena out the Aleutians is really, really cool. http://www.dot.state.ak.us/amhs/

And don't go to Alaska without going to Kodiak and doing a bear tour. Holy ursa major, those things are amazing.

I liked Deleware, and enjoyed it.

We camped at some site south of Rehoboth Beach. Went to a sketchy Italian restaurant where all of these gentlemen in fine suits kept coming in and meeting in the back. It felt like the scene from The Godfather where Michael gets the gun from the bathroom and offs people.

Spent the next day shopping on the boardwalk where it became pretty clear that it was one of the more gay friendly beaches.

I haven't been, but I've heard Dover can be pretty scary.

Edit - I checked with my buddy and it was Wilmington where he had the issue, not Dover.

One of my best friends lives in Williamsburg, so we've spent quite a bit of time out there, and love it. A ton of history in the state and I love the ocean. I'm looking forward to making my way out there again.

Aries Walker 12-06-2011 05:12 PM

I'm weak in the west but score almost every state on the east coast, including apparently-underrated Vermont.

Rehoboth does indeed flame. I don't know what's scary about Dover, unless you fall asleep and hit your head on the way down.

Aries Walker 12-06-2011 07:35 PM

Rehoboth Beach is in fact known for its gay-friendliness.

It's hard to travel when your parole doesn't allow you to leave the state.

I was at Rehoboth with my wife and SIL. I guess I was just one of the girls. It was off season, so the beach wasn't overly crowded.

Like I said, I've never been to Dover, I was just going off of the impression I got from a friend who must have had a couple of bad experiences there. I'll take your word for it that its a fine place.

Edit - I asked my buddy and it was Wilmington where he had the issues, not Dover.

I did telecommunications for almost 10 years. I have also had the pleasure of working all over Canada. Also been to Mexico City and Guadalajara (sp?) as well as Kiev Russia. Traveling sucks in a lot of ways but I was fortunate enough to see most of the country and a few other places and got it all paid for and then paid to do it.

Archie F. Swin 12-08-2011 08:33 AM

I've been to 25 states...though I dont recall If I slept/ate in Montana.
