MichCamper's Chit-Chat Thread - v2.0 Everyone Welcome! Friendly Talk & more
A wonderful, friendly group that loves to chat, share, care, and celebrate the lives of ourselves and our friends. Posts include some of the best of slickdeals, lots of hellos, birthdays and more, recipes, and much much more. This is the second lounge thread for MichCamper's Chit-Chat Thread.

By popular request, a chit-chat thread for my extended family & friends on SD.
Welcome everyone. A lot of you have been telling me you miss having friendly talks so here we are in my own little campground at SD. Come on in, pull a chair or a stump up to the campfire, and stay a spell.

This is a freebie site that has everything!!!!! The cool thing about this site is that they show you pictures of the deal (kinda like yelp i guess), and you can search by location (you can save your time and find what you're looking for around your area), by categories or by keywords

In a totally un-surly-panda-esque fashion, I kinda fell for a guy while I was in Chicago this weekend. He went back to London, I went back to DC, and I suppose that's that.
Anyone know of something entertaining online that can distract me from such ridiculousness? I'm used to getting myself into absurd situations, but this is downright lame.

I dunno, you could hit all the travel sites and start checking the price for flights to the UK ... or searching the current sweepstakes to see which ones have trips to London as part of the prize package.
Or come with me and we can soak our feet in the Red Sea about two and a half weeks from ... NOW. Well ok, at this hour it would mean having to deal with sitting and waiting for the sun to come up

I definitely want in on your next trip. You go to the most awesome places.
I was watching the Caps game to take my mind off of things, but they decided to suck a bunch so that didn't help at all.

Still, I've never been outside of the continental US or Canada, so it will be quite an experience.
Does your sister live in Germany?
As in, when I was stationed in Germany back in '93-'95 they flew over for $75 apiece and stayed for a week. Drove down thru Austria and did a day trip over to Nancy (Non-say) in France ... and I aged a couple years with my BIL driving thru the redlights in towns.
In Fance the lights tend to be on 6'-8' high poles with the directional lighting and he would just dive right thru. And all of the "AAAARG, that was a RED LIGHT!" gasps just got me accused of being a backseat driver.
But I've got friends I stay with in Germany. So ~IF~ it pans out then I'll do what I've down for some of the Christmas Market cruises, i.e. fly to Frankfurt, hop a train down to Karlsruhe stay couple days, repack down to 1 piece of luggage, hop a train to city A, cruise, hop a train back from city B, recover, do laundry, shop, drink lots of Hoppner keller weissen bier, et cetera. Wake up early, catch a train to Frankfurt and scoot back home.

I found a $240 roundtrip flight between Toronto and Iceland in August, which is pretty much the only reason I decided that I should go. My brother's in upstate NY, so I'll meet him there and we can head to Toronto. It'll be interesting to see how things work out for Iceland, and how that might affect the other costs associated with travel. I can't tell if it's better to book things now for a pre-paid rate, or wait to see if the USD to ISK conversion gets more favorable. Though I think either way it's better to wait a bit until the SP savings account gets more favorable.

On that part I'll agree. I'm liking the package deals to some of these out of the way places ... let someone else do all the worrying and I can just kick back, relax and enjoy the view, and the food, and the shopping. "What, 200 lira! NO way, 50 max!"
I'm just very spoiled with dealing with river cruises ... you get there, unpack once and wake up in a new city every day. What fun.
