Ok the is a thread for you to discuss places you've been, would like to go, or only dream about. It can be as miniscule as a resteraunt in your city, town,etc, or places were no one but yourself has laid a foot.

I'm starting this thread just to give me some idea's of places others on here enjoy (ed) and to help guide me on some places to go for next year. For me, travelling is the best thing in the world, and I would have never travlled anywere if it wasn't for a little fruit stand we opened in keremeos. Through this fruit stand which was a gong show Ex. dead bear in the fruit cooler and 10 pop cans exploding in our drink cooler, blowing the doors open and spraying everyone there at the time. I may babble on but i think it's worth reading, and shows that fate and chance may not be all Coincidence.

we met a couple in the summer at our tiny fruitstand that were biking across canada, they had flown from australia, biked across the u.s. mexico and were on their way east and then to fly to europe, bike it, new zealand bike it..so on. That weekend was the 3rd in august when penticton has the iron man, a trialthalon. Both of them were triathletes, winning top 10 in australia, they wanted to stay, so my dad piped up they could stay on our lawn, tent. So we had them for a week, they helped us and after the iron man continued on their way. We kept in touch and in febuary they said they wanted us to go to their wedding. We flew to australia had an amazing time, snorkeled ningaloo reef, played with dolphins...and 5 foot tiger shark..opps! The snorkeling got me into fish tanks, trying to recapture a sliver of the beatuy. The fish tanks got me to meet Seahorse_ fanatic over the internet with some halimedia for sale. This lead to building a friendship with his wife and family and this march I went to malaysia with his wife (sorry anthony!) I got my scuba ticket met lot's of new people at hostels and hopefully will be travelling to singapore and finish traveling the rest of malaysia, which is a beatiful country.
So give me you stories, I love to read them.
So many things could have gone wrong ( the triathletes could have been axe murderers, anthony could have been a petaphile ( no comments on that) and other things.

don't be shy give me what ya got!
