I am back on U.S. soil, but i am not the man i was 3 years ago...Airports, getting to and from, hurry up and wait..modern airline travel...hate to say it but up to me i would prefer my own backyard with a good book. Rant over...i will sort out any sales i have to ship out. Cheers, phil
Sounds like Phil and I would get along very well. We have a pool with lanai outback, heavy sub-tropical plantings, and a lake, and people wonder why I don't want to go anywhere!
The older I get, the more I like to stay put. Really I'm quite content to sit at home and mess about with my hobbies, and frankly, don't have near enough as much time for them as I would like. I did plenty of traveling the world when I was younger, so I guess I got it out of my system!

re: i am back
Glad to hear you are back. I was getting tired of hanging out with Tott...
Saw him Sunday, he sends his regards to all.
i did have some fun in Amsterdam watching the American tourists lined up in front of Kentucky Fried Chicken, i would not eat it here...why would i eat it there ?

Having been in Amsterdam a time or two, I can assure you there is more fun to be had than watching Americans lined up in front of a KFC!

When I travel away from home, I have a rule that I do not eat at places where I could eat at home. I prefer to sample local eateries, and love to chat with local owners of small restaurants. You learn so much about the people in other places by doing that. Isn't that what traveling is all about? Learning and experiencing things you can't at home?
