[HoneySuckleBlue]

Wow that's great prices Greg!! (Runs off to see the rest of the itenerary:D )

I'm glad you don't have a gas leak Marie!!

I hope you have a super Thirsty Thursday too, it sucks Jon is being a butt, but that looks to be also panning out in your favor. What's he threatening with now?

I'm putting off cleaning the house, Buk and her family are coming over for dinner tonight...hopefully Mike is gonna be hooking up the laptop to the internet for us, but they got in a huge fight last night and I'm still waiting for word...which sucks cause i don't feel so hot and i'd rather not clean if I don't have to.

Sweet picture.


I should be working but I got explosive diareah! Good excuse, huh?

[dirtybongwater]

I should still be working but i finished early. Theres no way i was going to take my time doing cement work outside in 90 degree weather.

[nirgal]

That's its own special kind of hell. Think of it as purification


Don't mess with Marie the Merciless! Stand your ground!

Hey Kim,

Haere tatou! :sunglasse

[moominmamma]

But I don't wanna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to be young again like all the 16 - 25 year olds who are surfing the web and putting off getting ready for the next exam. (Hang on...........now lets go alter my birth certificate and I'm there)

And it's hot and humid here :sunglasse and I can't sleep - we need a thunderstorm desperately to wash the dust and pollen away, and make the air breathable again.:cool:

MMP

Polynesia for the solstice anyone?

[nirgal]

..and watching all the 16-25 year olds surfing the waves :p

[moominmamma]

With age comes a (modicum) of wisdom - we let the young un's surf all day and go lobster pink in the sun while we oldies siesta - but come the cool of the evening we beach party like its 1969. Fish bake barbies on the sand, skinny dipping, singing and dancing, we could have a go at racing the war canoes, (sorry that's Hawaii, but I bet there's something equally good in Tahiti.)


And cos it's the shortest night of the year, and we are on the equator, it barely gets dark but don't worry, I'll keep the brown paper bag over my head. And then we watch the sun come up over the vastness of the Pacific. And then we push the catamaran out and see where the winds take us next.

I understand the islands are famous for their conches, (hem,hem!):cool:

[HoneySuckleBlue]

I'm in!! (Fantasy) Island breezes take me away!!



*HSB slips off to the tub to pretend it's a natural hot spring oasis of unparalled beauty and tranquility*


Only to be disturbed by a little voice saying, "Mom....mom! I gotta go to the bafroom!!"


GAh.

[moominmamma]

"Big Green" Grass Skirts all round?


(Kim - can you design us a logo - I see a great opportunity for product placing and merchandising here. We could combine Rough Guide\Lonely Planet style travel advice along with essential clothing - argh - the identifying and analysing new business opportunities module has sneaked through my sub-conscious)

Samoa is one of the cheapest countries to travel in the South Pacific, making it a particularly attractive destination for budget travellers. If you're happy to do it fa'a Samoa (the Samoan way) and stay in fales (thatched houses without walls built from coconut fronds and fibre), eat food at local road stalls and catch public transport you can get away with spending as little as US$20 a day.

[nirgal]

Nice picture!

It's a long way, I'm sure we'll think of a name by then..... draws blank uh....

Lavalavas and Fales are good names in themselves
:p

I just finished re reading a story about an 18 yr old girl that sailed singlehanded around the world, over the course of a year. Dream food :)

By sea would make it real... wouldn't it :) We got a crew, just need a boat....

10,000 mile more or less at 2kts in a canoe......

[HoneySuckleBlue]

We could build one!

:D

I would love to make some sails!

[nirgal]

or... we could buy one that needs work and get there before we get to old to care... they are out there :)

[HoneySuckleBlue]

haha!...or that!!

My dad bought one of those once...he was gonna learn how to sail dammitt, lol they knocked the top of the mast off coming into the Indian river inlet, heehee

[nirgal]

There ore hundreds of sea gypsies out there, sailing well used but seaworthy boats...... just traveling from island to island, doing odd jobs for cash and repair parts.... I could easily be tempted........ :)
