  1. I am divorced with a 16 and 13 year old so I've been doing international travel for most of their lives. I have a very healthy co-parenting situation. She likes to travel too so we both switch up calendars so we can do what we need/want.
  2. In the last 5 years actually more like 8 years now that I think about it. Colombia, Costa Rica (3), Belize (6), Panama, Scotland, England (2), Belgium, Holland, Hungary, Austria, Czech, Vietnam (2), Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Japan. And planning Chile/Argentina now and Pakistan is also on my short list. At least 75% of those are solo. The thing I hear most from people is that they just assume every place is dangerous. Not once in any of those countries did I feel in danger in any way what so ever. I also don't do stupid shit. I assume most Americans would say sitting outside a soccer stadium after a game in Medellin drinking .50 beers with the locals is dangerous. It is not. A little advice. Do a little research. There is so much content available. Stay out of places you shouldn't go. Find several solo female vlogs or blogs. Solo women no doubt have to be more careful than 52 year old dad, esp in countries where woman have less rights; so listen to them. Leave anything valuable or flashy at home even if its not expensive. Group tours are great for those not wanting to set out on your own. A group and a guide is safe. I also like them because they are cheaper and efficient and you get to meet lots of people. The draw back is that you are stuck on a bus/van with people. Viator is my go to for tours. I've never met so many amazingly nice people traveling. It's seldom I met any locals that are unkind or rude and in most cases they are 10x nice than your neighbor. I also don't act like a jackass Cancun/Vegas traveler. IMO it's good to get out of your comfort zone. How do you know a certain place isn't appealing if you've never been there and all you know about that place is what the media tells you? No doubt there are place that I loved and places that I was "meh". I have a friend that absolutely HATES Costa Rica which is beyond comprehension for me but each to their own. Personally I get ill at the idea of going to a mega-resort in Mexico and hanging out with a bunch of other fat obnoxious Americans and eating at a buffet.

    BUMP Chile is next on my international travel list. Going with the same buddy that went to SE Asia with me. Just starting my research. Looking at September/October ish. Which looks to be shoulder season. Probably 9 days including travel. I could go up to 14 but his work is more demanding. I do a ton of solo travel so going early or staying longer is no big deal. Is is worth it to drive over to Mendoza? Or should we just focus on Chile? Demographic. both 52. We like a mix of art, outdoors, food, wine, walking tours, bike tours, coffee etc. We don't Clark Griswold. Spend half the day touring. The other half sitting by the pool.
  4. This mfr right here is bad ass. Very unique flavor. Had it in Panama last month and they sell it on Amazon. There was another one that was more mustard. I can't find a picture of it but it was even better
  5. Bayern sack Naglesmann and appoint Tuchel. Naglesmann to Spurs?
  6. Going to Bimini in early may. Would love to do some fishing. Everything I see online looks like it's out of one of the bigger islands and they want 1500. Anyone have any insight, constacts or suggestions?
  7. Im with jeans on this but were getting to the point that no one worth a shit is going to want to manage. We've run off 4 managers in 3 years. Plenty of blame to go around
  8. BMW makes some of the best interiors.. I wish my Mach 1 had that refinement
  9. I definitely can not understand the beaver teeth. I did the ceremic and it really helps. Esp with the brake dust
  10. Going off on players is usually the sign of a last straw
  11. Conteout These loses are just terrible. I can handle losing to good teams but all these last 3 are garbage. A championship side and the last team in the PL is unexcusable.
  12. I blew all mine this pass week. Closed the RR card that got me the points in the first place. Never again
  13. Put me in the I will never fly that fucking airline again boat. To and from Tampa with my kids and all the shit that makes SWA horrible happened. Trying to login and 24 hours and .0001 seconds or you get boarding group F 70 and have to sit all over the fucking airplane with kids and seat savers. Fuck that shit
  14. Is there even a decent manager that wants to work for Levy and ENIC?
  15. What a giant hunk of shit
  16. Pochettino is trending on my twitter
  17. This club is broken
  18. LOL..from the hospital?
