    Are any SF'er's traveling this Spring? This Summer? This week? If so where? I love traveling but haven't since protesting the Pope's visit to St. Louis in 2000.

    Before that I hit LA twice a year back to '95!! Great having friends with money in cool places.)
    But on March 16th that all changes! I'm flying to Chicago for a week! I'll be there for the chaotic St. Patrick's Day festivities! I haven't been there in 17 years. Goin to a Bulls game and everything!
    Though I am aware there are alot more fascinating places to visit, so tell me your plans!

    ALREADY Chicago is upstaged. DENMARK WEDDING!! Pictures would be cool. My sister (not the Christian fundamentalist one) went to Arhus for some business trip for a US/Danish industrial paint company. She loved it. I'll take Denmark anyday!

    ) Such history! Anything in KC that's over 50 years old is considered historic! Never been to New England. Closest I got was Washington, D.C. when I went to protest attacks on abortion rights and to protest Clinton over Waco. THIS Sunday! Lucky You!!!!!!!

    Nice one. Congratulations.

    Isn't there a tradition where the bride kisses all men and the groom kisses all the single women in Denmark? Like, full on kissing.

    We have a Winner. Talk about exotic!!! Geez! I haven't been able to exit the 30 mile ring around Kansas City in 7 bloody years!!! If I had to choose ONE of these destinations I'd go for China, then Uzbekistan then Lithuania then UK.

    I'm moving from São Paulo, Brazil to Chicago, USA.

    THAT'S quite the leap of addresses! I think that's the same distance as it is from Kansas City to London! Maybe Moscow! Not only will you have serious jetlag but you'll have SEASON lag. I'd love to see Sao Paulo, but with an organized tour group that sticks together throughout the trip. Incredible city. Bush stunk it up today but the stench should clear in a few months.
    Chicago is a great city. Maybe not the Southside or the SW side but it is a fantastic place to visit and live.

    I'm sure that if I have difficulty adapting we can come back.

    There was insane traffic all day today because of that stupid US president. They closed the international airport fo 20 mins and delayed a bunch of flights, closed some streets and redirected traffic to other ones, and there were also lots of protests... it was chaos.

    I love São Paulo. It's a city of contrasts.

    I would much rather go somewhere like SP than a sticky, tacky, overpriced, touristy spot full of overpaid & overweight foreigners ordering drinks at the pool.

    We're hoping to plan a trip to Amsterdam next spring, for our 30th wedding anniversary. I've never been there, my wife was there in 1969 before she knew me. We want to see the tulips and just enjoy some prosperous European culture. We've spent too much time vacationing in the Third World--a "sociologist's holiday."

    A Dream Trip for sure. I'd LOVE to see Amsterdam. The polar opposite of the backward religious conservative region that I'm in.
    I'll admit I haven't done enough 'sociologists holiday's' to be weary of them. I've only left the US once and that was a day trip to lovely Tijuana, Mexico in the late 90's.
    Ahh. Amsterdam in the Spring.....
