[speaker002:] well we're gonna be talking about vacations I guess huh where have you been recently
[speaker001:] right right I have been well I go quite a bit I travel about forty percent of my time but my vacations my favorite spot is Las Vegas yeah
[speaker002:] Las Vegas well my dad goes there but I am not a betting man I've been there one time and I'll be honest I did not enjoy it no no
[speaker001:] really I are there any particular reason you're not into gambling or
[speaker002:] I I guess just because I'm not that type of a person I'm I'm a CPA and I I'm very conservative with my money and I just did to me that was not a vacation
[speaker001:] I see
[speaker002:] uh I now I'm a big world traveler I enjoy traveling the world I just got back from Hawaii uh this past July uh the prior year before that I'd been to uh Tokyo Disneyland uh I've been I've got a trip coming up next year I'm going to the EuroDisney
[speaker001:] oh really in France
[speaker002:] uh that's gonna be in Paris France we're going there in July
[speaker001:] yes uh-huh
[speaker002:] and at the same time we're also gonna go visit Norway I've always wanted to go see the Fjords of Norway I just love have have have you ever been on a cruise to um Alaska
[speaker001:] um-hum no uh my in-laws have and I I stay stay steer away from boats as much as possible only because I can't take it
[speaker002:] okay well I tell you what if I possibly can uh there's a spot that I would love to encourage you to go visit
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] my father same way he had absolutely no desire to be around a boat he says man I get seasick I don't like it
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] the thing that is so wonderful about the Alaskan cruise it is on what they call the inside passage
[speaker001:] right right exactly
[speaker002:] you're not in the ocean you are in a river almost
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] only only the only thing you have are cliffs on the left and cliffs on the right side and we're talking about five hundred foot thousand foot cliffs absolutely gorgeous and
[speaker001:] I yes everything I see that they brought back it I I definitely agree
[speaker002:] and and and and every yeah and every thirty yards here comes another uh waterfall which is nothing more than the melting snow
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] that's just more glorious than the last one it is absolutely fantastic and with those cliffs the sunsets are just oh my goodness uh for me and my wife it was probably the most romantic one week trip I have ever ever taken
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] and the food the food on we were on uh Princess Cruise Lines and the food was just out of this world
[speaker001:] oh yes yes I it's it cruises from what I understand are are really the way to go and someday someday I will convince my or convince myself that I can handle it and I will surprise my wife and and book a cruise uh I much definitely prefer warmer climates than Alaska so I would probably head for the Caribbean
[speaker002:] well if that be the case I was gonna say you can go to the Caribbean but the now the problem with the Caribbean though now you've got the ocean and I've been to the Caribbean three times now you got the ocean and if you have a motion sickness problem now they have these little patches you can put behind your ear
[speaker001:] um-hum I've used those right
[speaker002:] uh you'd wanna use those but the same time though you you're not going to get as pleasant of a ride as you would on that Alaskan cruise
[speaker001:] um-hum interesting interesting I never I really never thought of that that's pretty good to know
[speaker002:] uh but and and and there there are parts especially when you get close to Cuba there are the water can get very very rough
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah
[speaker002:] really can but uh otherwise as far as vacation I've I've course I see I guess I like the cold weather I I've been up to New England and I thought that was fantastic
[speaker001:] yeah and this is one spot you know being in Ohio the New England states are not that far uh that is one thing that really has not interested us we do like the Virginias the Carolinas Carolina
[speaker002:] um now oh have you have you been on the Blue Ridge Parkway oh wow now that's fantastic
[speaker001:] oh yes several times yeah and uh we next week we're leaving for New Orleans and I'm I I do prefer the warmer the warmer
[speaker002:] see I'm a Louisiana boy so I know where you're talking about there
[speaker001:] um-hum but uh and I loved Hawaii
[speaker002:] yes now that was my first trip I've ever been to Hawaii yes
[speaker001:] uh we had bought really it it's it's uh it's just beautiful I just I would be very happy staying in Hawaii and becoming a beachcomber when I retire which isn't too far off which is something I might wanna consider but uh
[speaker002:] well stay away from the Texas coastlines Texas doesn't have anything for you
[speaker001:] I you know I've I've been tempted I've gotten down as far as San Antonio but I've never gone down to uh really to the coastline
[speaker002:] yeah the the coastline yeah the coastline here is the pits uh there's there's much better in Florida much much better uh other places Hawaii was wonderful that was great
[speaker001:] yeah so uh-huh I love it yes I that
[speaker002:] uh I thought Waikiki Beach was as nice of a of a beach as I ever wanna see and we went to four different islands we had a great time
[speaker001:] um-hum yes it is and you have to do that uh people that go and they only go to one area you have to see it all
[speaker002:] well tell you what I've got a I've got a phone ringing on the other line I better go answer it I've enjoyed talking to you though catch you later bye-bye
[speaker001:] yes very good well it's nice talking to you okay um-hum bye-bye
