You should go to Russia to get the low-grav jet thing. And then for fun afterwards, your money is still worth a lot! I hear Russian hookers can be pretty cheap!

(Oh...they have male hookers? Well, if they're desperate enough for money... )

Ted Striker, that's what they said in the program. And with $30 000 US you'll get to be in MIG something, the good model, and they will fly you almost to space, where no other plane can go (air was almost 20 times more thinner there.. or was it thicker? so you have to fly fast in order not to stall and drop).. it was cool, you can see the space perfectly, and earth too like in the space movies. And then you get to take pictures, and you get to fly the plane a bit there! The chick was doing barrels near space.. that was just too cool If you have $30 000 US to spend on it.

It looks like you're in space there.. so you could say you were doing barrels with a fighter jet in space! No one can beat that...

Asher, you have to help us a bit. What kind of things are you into? Do you want to see sights, and wander around in famous places, do you want to do something (action vacation wohoo!), or just hang around or what? Or all of the above?

I'm leaning more towards renting a hotel in the mountains and just bringing the SO out there for a few days, then going to a spa and the hot springs, etc.

I just remembered I don't like:
1) Hot places
2) Cold places
3) Places with foreign languages
4) Places with foreign currencies
5) Places without highspeed internet accessible

Asher, dude, that's the ONLY place to experience REAL anti-gravity excluding astronauts in space. How many have done that? Everyone wants to do that, you've seen it on TV when those space guys starts rolling in the air, now that's cool.

Yeah that's what I think I'll end up doing.

Either a hotel/hotsprings/spa type thing, or just some camping.

But then I still have money.

Maybe I'll invest it.

Oooooooh Asher the boring! That shall be your indian name

You first come up with a thread saying that you want ideas how to make a great vacation with a nice amount of money. With that money, you have so much possibilities and you can have a BLAST!

And then you decide to NOT do it, rent a room with your lover and make out? That is the biggest anti-climax I've ever heard! Come on Asher, I know you have it in you, now do something special! If nothing else, then go for a tour in serengetti or something and see those wild animals, maybe shoot few tigers while you're at it.

Free, as in you know the best bridges, or as in you have few buddies you made while backpacking in Europe and they said you could drop by any time?

the parents of a friend of mine own a castle in southern france, and another friend of mine just moved over to pamplona to "finish his book" (*read take advantage of as many european girls as possible) His dad owns a good portion of the SA spurs, and about 12 other companies, so he is living right. And I have a friend who lives in madrid.

Of of those Mexican "spring-break" resorts, off-season (that is, when there are no spring-breakers).

My brother did this, and it was very worthwhile.

Then you can run to the borders and scream 'SEDULA, SEDULA!' and it will be like a real show down between US border and Mexican border, everyone having their guns up and you running screaming you have sedula.

What ever you do, don't yell 'I'M CANADIAN!'
