What is the Nicest City/Place You've Been...

[ocean99]

I'm very under-traveled, but the most fun I've ever had being somewhere else was Cancun. Fuckin huge titties, booze, sun, exotic animals, delicious food at 14 years old. I started partying after that vacation and haven't looked back since.

Really like Evergreen, CO too, which is probably where I will end up!

yep bro....lived in evergreen for the past 10 plus years before coming to texas. i honestly regret leaving evergreen everyday.

my address was evergreen, but i lived about 10 miles above evergreen in brook forest....sort of between evergreen and conifer.

i also gotta plug Seward Alaska, Homer Alaska, Kasilof Alaska, and Banff Alberta

Damn...So many great places...so little time (and MONEY)

I'm kind of surprised Jamaica has popped up so many times...
Its a place I always wanted to go, I was told the resorts are VERY nice, the rest of the Island is a poverty stricken hell.

I would like to visit an island (Caribbean?? perhaps, definitely tropical) and just never come back...Any suggestions??

LOL, sounds like a childish dream to me even, but I bet I could do decent for myself growing herb and selling to tourists (being a well spoken American) or would that just land me in some foreign jail that makes american jails looks "classy" (I'm not sure what the MJ law tolerance is)??

Well E, you are still young. If you have the travel bug like I have, it is an addiction. I try to go to as many places as I can. For me one of the best ways to fund such things is accepting contracts that have travel.

Thats great you get paid to travel!! I always wanted a career like that...as an Electrician, the traveling we do (next state away) is just a pain in the ass...

I'm waiting on a decent settlement, then I'll be putting my ass back in school...I just haven't completely decided for what. I feel in the long run, thats wiser than buying a "hut" on an island and trying to live off whats left of my money...It'll all come together. Its tough to be young, intelligent, and ambitious and NOT do well...I just got a raw deal (hence the settlement $$)

Thanks for your input, as always, I value it!!

Being an electrician can be the first step in becoming a designer or engineer. That is sort of how I started. I get offers all of the time in interesting places, although not as many today as I got a year ago.

I have come to the conclusion that in the USA a lot of the work is being done outside of the country now. There is more money marketing the work to be done than doing it. There are people that get groups of people together to do some work and call themselves companies. It starts off as a pile of resumes. One can then take this pile of resumes to people that have projects in factories or refineries and offer to do the designing or drafting for 20% less than if it were done in country. The guys controlling the projects see a great deal of savings for his project's bottom line, and a way to further his own career. He is motivated by his own greed. And the fellow that is offering to do the work for 20% less is paying the drafters and designers a good wage for their country, but still leaves a markup that is very high. Paying a drafter $10 per hour in Nicaragua makes that person upper middle class, but billing the client for $50 per hour. Imagine doing this with 20 people.

Wow....Do you have an application??

The money coming in pays for any and all marketing expenses. Staying in nice hotels, flying all over the world and courting the people with these projects at their refineries and factories. In all of this travel one learns that there are products in each place that the others want. Finding these products and getting them to each other is another gig. All legal and very profitable. You just have to open your mind to the endless possibilities that exist.

I've been working hard most my life and hustling about as hard, to live like the middle/upper class. I've been thinking a lot lately how nice it would be to make that money, plus more, legitimately. (Hence the schooling)

The old thinking of living in one little corner of the world, and establishing roots, is what the females will want you to do. It is the end to all free thinking and wealth in a world economy.

[Shakes fist at GF] Everytime I talk about moving for school/job/better life She really deters me, more discouraging than encouraging (seems selfish)...Very fucking annoying, but that is the extent of it. As soon as the right opportunity arises...I'm gone...

When oil is back to $65 a barrel, the economy will grow again. Those that are ready will make a lot of money right away. Those that are still putting together their plans when this happens will fall the wayside. The price of oil will be high again very soon.

Other than the high gas prices,(the good with the bad) I hope that is a fact!!
Thanks for the insightful encouragment!!

What a great thread...

I lived on Oahu one summer while in college..had a job working at the huge ass ALA MOANA mall, in one of the music stores, no less. Dream job for any stoner or soon to be stoner...Used to walk across the street after work to the beach... Had my honeymoon in Maui, and Lahaina is the bomb..I still have the pic of me and my ex wife underneath the huge spanish moss tree by the docks in old Lahaina town..some of you remember that tree..
My best friend at the time was a local that lived in Manoa Valley- and we had an apartment on University st, by the Ala Wai canal. Two guys, 4 girls. Pipeline/Northshore on the weekends, Kui Aina burgers and naps on the beach..korean bbq and crashing on the campus of UH..I fell asleep outside a library or two and slept the best ever...damn I miss that place. The locals were nice to "portagees" or anyone that wasnt HAOLE. Luckily my mutt lookin self got no problems from the locals.

I am a serious snowboarder, so luckily for me every winter grants me the chance to be held in awe of the beauty in nature. Chile, Utah, Colorado, Tahoe. Sittin' on top of any peak with a freshly waxed board is a nice freakin place-any stoner/boarder will tell ya that Folks in those towns have been great, as long as you dont go lookin for trouble.

Thunderstorms in New Mexico...one night, while driving across the country, my mind was blown with how incredible of a spectacle I witnessed late one night. The mrs and I sat on the side of a hill and watched in amazement...

Stay Classy!

As far as here in the States...I love my little town of Wildomar Calif--

Victoria, British Columbia is beautiful. Can be kinda gloomy and rainy in the winter but the climate is very mild, ha ha ha....compared to the Prairies, and it's gorgeous in the summer, never gets too hot because of the Pacific maritime climate.

Actually, if I had my choice there is a little town just about 20 mins north of Victoria on the Saanich penisula on the southern tip of Vancouver Island called Sydney. That's the spot.
