Yep, but if you ever come to the Lone Star State, I can set you up with lodging

By tourist agency you mean...the CIA?

Onkel Neal · 11-25-09, 11:21 AM

Haha, I hope not

No, a commercial agency.

"No, but I would like to some day in the distant future"

It has crossed my mind a couple of times, exactly where and when is pretty much unknown.

And I can certainly set him up with a trip to Treasures or The Men's Club

Only if you want a lifetime ban to such places.

Many times in the past for periods up to three months at a stretch. These days though, generally get down to Seattle once or twice a year for three or four days.

Oberon · 11-25-09, 11:49 AM

Would love to, but would probably have to stay for a while to go to all the places I'd like to go to. Tis a rather big place...and that's just Texas!

Schroeder · 11-25-09, 11:56 AM

Have been there in 2001 for two weeks. Mainly California but we were also in Utah and of course Nevada (Las Vegas).

Thomen · 11-25-09, 01:02 PM

Well, yes.. I did roughly 6 or 7 times before I permanently relocated to here.

To see my GF (now Wife) was the main purpose. Average stay ca 1 week.

Fish · 11-25-09, 01:20 PM

I would like to some day but I think it will be a dream.
Perhaps I should have voted, in a distant future.

Marcantilan · 11-25-09, 01:25 PM

I´ve been in the US four times.

First time to Disney World (1985 - hey, I was 10!)
Second time to Disney World & Epcot, and a Caribbean cruise (1991)
Third time, NY, West Coast and Hawaii (1994).
Fourth time with friends, mostly NY and Boston (1997).

Planning to go there in the next couple of years, I really loved NY!

Well, been to the states couple of times that was years ago back in early 1942 I was in command of a Type IXB U-187 we had receive orders from Bdu to make way to outside of New York & patrol the waters - silly buggers those Americans with their lights on and all! We could see the parties going on through the persicope don't they know there was a war going on! I remember fondly now it was our 11th week at sea & we were out of coffee! Any sailor would tell you thats a dangerous situation to be in. So I came up with the idea that we drop a few men off near the coast and see if they can steal some coffee from one of em houses, them Americans be all drunk and all they wouldn't even notice! When i asked for voluntares every-single-man was willing to go?. I suppose 11 weeks at sea got to them that they needed their feet on some dirt.
So i chose 10 good men. That was the last time we saw them. Presumed captured. strange thing is 3 other boats in the area had the same problem. We lost a lot of good men back in 42

Oh wait... have i been to USA.

Nope

Hopefully one day i will, would love to go to New York or Los Angeles where my cousin lives she went there back in 1989
