OT: The Travel Thread

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Yes, I agree about Cali, but my GF would rather not go back a second time, just for variety sake.

If were going back somewhere its straight to Maui/Moloka'i/Big Island or Kauai.


Chile was definitely on my radar. Did you go? Anybody can tell me more?

Never went! Went to Peru 1 month ago and all my peruvian friends told me to not waste time and to go to Chile, I didn't know it was one of the safest place one earth.

I would also like to know more from people who went in Chile


It's on my list with South Korea

look for San Clemente in California ( it's not LA, it has a chilling vibe that feels like Santa Cruz)

I will try to send you a picture from the time I went surfing there. Also, not much crime in San Clemente, the waves are amazing and it's a chill/surfing vibe city.

We rent a small house on the hill up the ocean. The city is build like San Francisco's streets, it's really amazing to see the ocean in the morning

and you can rent an Airbnb pretty easily there.

That's north of 3 k.

 

[angusyoung]

So my GF and I are looking to leave in mid August for 2 or 3 weeks.

Got about 3k to spend, dont have to spend all of it and my GF has it too.

I live for the ocean, surfing and chilling around. I dont mind camping, or wtv.

I do care about my safety a lot though, and I'm scared how the hood rat in me would react if something happened, I also have a natural disaster paranoia and dont like cities or crowded area much.

Where do I go?

For that budget,North Carolina,say hi to dumdum.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

That's north of 3 k.

not at all, didint even cost me more than 2k

Have you ever traveled ? it's not difficult to budget, even less when you have 3k

 

[peate]

Absolutely not bound to anywhere.

BC is a later project, actually anywhere in Canada is. Were going to go by car and well need more time than 2 3 weeks for that.

For sure, I've driven across Canada from Montreal over 10 times and every time I see something new, but I've always kinda rushed it, especially going West. I've gone the US way once coming back and it was nice, but that was in the 70's.

 

[angusyoung]

well, Chile then.

Safest place on earth ( it's safer than Montreal)
In South America
such a beautiful place
Nice surfing Spot
Nice weather ( winter right now)
Nicest people on earth


Also, California change from city to city, I HATE Los angeles but LOVE Santa Cruz

Chili breaks the 3 k budget and is not safer than Montreal.Not sure,but winter surfing?not a fan.

That's ridiculous, I can probably make NoCar for like 800 a piece.

I've went to Maui for a month and it was under 2k each.

Wrightsville Beach. Outer Bounds, great stuff.

Me? travel? what a joke......

2 weeks under 2 grand is like being homeless.

Love the Outer banks. Crowded now,and a little sharky,but super.

So free air,makes a difference.

I knew "Bounds" didn't sound right.

 

[angusyoung]

At least you get to work bound in your daily conversion,I don't.lol,lovely word that bound.

I really don't know how you travel or do your budget, honestly you make no sense.


I went 2 weeks in Japan for 2k and was more than fine, and Japan ain't cheap.

okay bud

I'd drive

 

[lo striver]

Outer Banks used to be great. I've been there twice ~15+ years ago, we went all the way to Ocracoke both times. Was not crowded at all back than.

If you can fly to Japan for less than 2 k for 2 people without some perks,tell me how. We got some interests there and go a few times a year,no need to tell me the cost of things there.

I was under the impression that is was that budget for 2 people.

 

[angusyoung]

To Maui? camp some?

 

[angusyoung]

okay bud

2 weeks for 2 people with air under 2 grand with accommodations and food,how?

 

[Mrb1p]

To Maui? camp some?

Camped for about two weeks and the rest was in hostels/hotels/motels.

I had the time of my life too.

 

[Mrb1p]

2 weeks for 2 people with air under 2 grand with accommodations and food,how?

It was 1 person

 

[angusyoung]

It was 1 person

That clarifies matters,understandable in this case.

The current conundrum though is 2 people under 3k where warm,hot and waves right?

 

[CDN24]

Haha.....got my first start out of Nelson House.....then to Thompson....Borekk....now a 767 Captain

Keep er up bro!!

Borekk? you fly the Twotter?

Taking kids back to visit my parents in middle of nowhere (check that far edge of nowhere) Quebec this summer. Flights starts as a Dash-8 out of YUL, then B1900, final 2 legs are the Twotter (favorite plane to fly on). Flight starts and ends in Quebec and will cost a small fortune.

Something like that. And relative safety, but theres more Lee way there. Like I just dont want to go to Guatemala.
