I take it you were meaning Yorick hasn't been to those places

- both Spain (probably should post my picture of Sangria chugging in Barca at Stealthy's) and Suriname are on my list. Africa and Asia remain the great unknowns - well except Changi Airport - after 7 transit visits I sorta know my way around it now

.

Hugh, Suriname was for work (1994) - I was with the company for about 18 months when the boss called me in and sent me off for 3 sunny (and rainy) weeks. Had to participate in a technical audit of the plant we have there - same reason I managed to see Jamaica and meet Donut at Highbury last May

Wow, some people are well travelled! I've been to Christchurch. Which is around 1000kilometers away from my home! It took forever to get there.

I forgot......Yugoslavia (when it *was* Yugoslavia) both Novograd and Belgrad, in the good ol' communist days. Now *that* was a really strange trip! The shops were nearly empty, no 'luxury' items to be found anywhere, even in the parks the kids were subdued and not running around noisy like you'd think. People didn't make eye contact and if they did, it was furtive. But the food was great and once you got the locals to open up (behind closed doors), they were so friendly and neat! I seriously doubt if I'd recognize the place now, tho.

Oooh, now this is a fun thread!
I suppose I fall somewhere in the middle - I love travelling, but alas don't have the time or money to do as much as I would like (also I have a parrot - they really miss you when you go away, so I have to plan travel carefully).

France
Germany
Holland
Belgium
Luxembourg
Italy
Austria
Switzerland
Thailand
Phuket
Barbados
Dominican Republic
Antigua
Martinuque
St. Kitts
Tortola
St. Maartin
