Just spent last 2weeks in good all USA

[Gord]

and

had great time

drunk too many margeritas

Swam in the gulf, sailed a sloop, got burned , ate some great food and put on 8 pounds ( shit back to the gym this week )

Nearly got arrested for speeding - and got a ticket shit you guys drive slow

spent loads of cash - visa took a hammering

Saw the Devil Rays take a beating from the Yankees

any way Florida was great

Orlando - didnt care for

Captiva / Sunibel - great place

St Petes Beach - quite cool good bars and food

Tampa was a good place though liked it

Clearwater was nice though a bit too touristy but heh I was one so blended in

All in all cool place Florida - though didnt manage to make it down to Miami and the keys

good to be back though

 

[SINthysist]

Now fess up.

We were great hosts.

Weren't we...

 

[sexy-girl]

great to hear you had a good time gord and that you are back

now tell them that their food portions are to small and that they are rude because they are way to use to hearing the opposite

 

[bluespoke]

good to be back though

..........to some really good weather!

Yeah you were - felt welcome and people were very friendly and forthcoming - on the last night met the Corona rep in a bar and had a ball - went on a free Corona bar crawl around Clearwater Beach -

Yeah - but didnt expect anything else - though the 90 degree humidity in Orlando was a bit too much - played golf and like the typical brit booked a tee time at noon - nearly died !!

Something like that - drank about 6 pints of water in 4 hours and didnt need a piss all day - still won though after a mini Ryder cup with some US friends - got them pissed the night before and they wilted !!

 

[SINthysist]

The only question then is, WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU GO BACK!

 

[Gord]

The only question then is, WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU GO BACK!

something to do with visa waiver and green card which I dont have !!

If I could get a chance I would consider going but too hard nowadays unless I go illegal which wouldnt do so back to old blighty

Fly into Toronto without papers.

Get new papers.

Come over the border and claim to be a draft dodger looking for amnesty!

Yeah right - when did the draft finish - I am sure even the most thick of north American border guard would suss that a 30 year old Scot might not have been a Vietnam runaway - good thought though

next one please

See, I told you the Yankees would win.
I am glad you had a good time. I hope you'll come back sometime and see more of the country. It's beautiful up north too, you know!

so I have heard - have friends who live in Denver and say it is lovely - might have to go to Philly next year which I have heard is not too nice.

and you were right about the Yankees - though not too hard as I found out the Rays are the worst team in the league !!

 

[Tantanah]

Glad you had a good time. Too bad you didn't make it down to Miami.

You weren't in the U.S., you were in Florida. We just tell them they're a state so they'll help us keep the alligators out of the canals.
