Life What a great time to travel!! - Page 5

BIG_DADDY · 12-14-2020, 12:43 PM

If you are not one of Fauci's flock this is a great time to travel. I get free air but the hotels and airfare are super cheap. In the last 9 months we have traveled all over and done jiu-jitsu tournaments in Florida and Texas. We have also been to Colorado, Oregon and Arizona. My only regret was missing 2 weeks in Mexico. We have went to Texas so many times we are currently looking for a house in the Fort Worth area. So nice to go to the Ice House and listen to some live music and be normal. I hope you guys are having a great holiday with the people that matter the most. Go Chiefs!!!!

I stand corrected. I needed to show my passport and go through customs because we sailed out of Tortolla, which is a BVI.

We were going to visit the North Pole this December but had to cancel the reservation. And now I haven't a clue when we will have another opportunity to make this trip. I saw the Northern Lights only in the photos of National Geographic and hope to see this impressive spectacle myself some time soon.

If you stay on St. Thomas, try to get a place on Peterborg with a view of Magen's Bay.

Also, be aware that parts of St. Thomas are quite poor. And, if you drive, have fun....

Big YES to both. Went to St Johns and St Thomas last January. First time @ Johns, multiple times to Thomas. Megan's Bay is one of the most beautiful, serene places on earth. Get there at sunrise, dare to ever leave.

That sounds like a fantastic idea, but vaccines won't be available to gen pop for 6-9 months.

Agree on some levels. It all depends on where you are going. We spent a month in Florida in December, and it could not have been more perfect. (Clearwater Beach) - we actually stayed in the house we rented most of the time.

I had to take an unexpected trip last week. The airports are just empty. I’ve never seen anything like it.

One bad part: I have to go through Seattle. The WA gov has shut down all the bars and restaurants, even in airports. So having a long layover in Seattle doesn’t mean I can sit in the Alaska Airlines lounge and drink. That part is really crappy.

But I got great ticket prices to KC for the AFCCG. Normal Anchorage to Seattle price is about $350-400 one way in cheap seats. I got a one way first class ticket for $200. So there’s that.

KCUnited · 01-13-2021, 05:06 PM

Got a solo trip planned end of March. Flying into Seattle and grabbing a bunch of to-go beers from a handful of breweries. Then driving down to Portland to do the same. Then ultimately heading to the Oregon coast with a trunk full of world class beer, hiking boots and a playlist loaded with death metal.

Going for a Schitt’s Creek meets Twin Peaks type of getaway. Schitt’s Peak. Twin Schitt’s. Either way looking forward to it.

**MahiMike** · 01-13-2021, 08:48 PM

Yup. So far 4 trips since August. Almost feel guilty cause the staff at the resorts outnumber us guests.

I ain't scared of no 'Rona.

Thinking about heading to the Keys in early March. Wifes BD. Never been down there. I hear they don't ues clocks or watches. Need a plumber, he gives you a window of sometime this month.

RunKC · 01-23-2021, 11:41 AM

Vegas is very empty per the usual but man are there a ton of chiefs fans here. I can’t wait to come here next year when we can go to stadiums.

It’s gonna be great

I'm assuming this thread has been bumped to announce the death of Big Daddy to COVID. May he rest in peace.

I know you're lying because he's extremely careful and follows the latest science

Little difference there. Then we got the predictions that went from 3M deaths in the US and has incrementally worked it's way down. I know people who have had Corona but none of them died or had any complications. On the other hand I know a ton of people who are having their life destroyed. Lost job and income. Losing their businesses.Look around you instead of at all the fear porn on TV. Lets put this in perspective.

Deaths in the US annually

Car accidents almost 40k
Heart disease 650k
Cancer 600k
Unintentional injuries 170k
Chronic lower respiratory disease 160k
Stroke and cerebrovascular diseases 147k
Alzheimers 125k
Diabetes 84k
The flu 61k
Kidney disease 52k
Suicide 50k

The Wuhan virus is killing 10's of millions of Americans but not in the way exploited by the media with their fear porn. Millions are losing their job, their homes, businesses and life savings. We do this long enough we could have a great depression, awesome. The chance that covid 19 is what's going to take you out is slightly above zero. The death rate no matter what it is projecting at this moment is a grain of sand on the beach of what could happen to the quality of life for all of us if people keep buying into this BS.

**jjchieffan** · 01-23-2021, 07:07 PM

Yeah. My wife and I went to Pigeon Forge in October and hiked the Smokies. It was super cheap. Less than $200 each for round trip tickets and I rented an SUV for $26/ day. Also got an awesome cabin in the mountains on Airbnb that just wouldn't have been available normally.
