I'd say anywhere on a sail boat.. as long as it is in the tropics! I was thinking not too long ago, actually, about what I'd really like to do.. and that was to sail the Hawaiian Islands once more! Having just enough time at sea to absorb infinite horizons, approach an island, come into port, all the sights, sounds, smells of that experience, stay for a couple of days, then, take off again!Onward! I don't really like vacations or trips that say "You will have a free day to shop!"!!! I like to do stuff.. like snorkle, parasail, hike up to 1000 foot watrefalls (which is what I did last year! I wanted to roll down the mountain coming back!!) A few years ago, on a Carribesan cruise I took scuba lessons.. it was kind of scary.. but I'd go again! Machu Pichu beakons! I read all of Richard Haliburton Travel Books when I was 13 or 14.. and he is my hero when it comes to travel adventures. He swam the Pananma Canal and paid 16 cents tonnage! He hid in the garden of the Taj Mahal, and after all had left, he swam under a full moon in the pool! He did stuff like that all over the world. Of course, his era was around 1925!!! Like you, I love meeting the "locals" and interacting. I took a Greek cruise ship around the Greek Isles year before last. Thye are soooo beautiful, and I loved the Greeks! So full of soul! I would like to stay on one of the islands a month.. to see if I would become one of them for a while! If any of you are looking for something unusual.. I'd recommend going on the interisland ferry.. much better than the cruise ship and you can stay as long as you want on each island! I'd really like to go to Spain! (I speak a bit of Spanish)...And dance with the flamenco gypsies in the Caves! Ah! well! The world is out there.. ready to be explored! The last couple of years, I have produced and directed a Czech Night of Muziky Muziky! It turns out that there are over 1 million Texans of Czech heritage.. and they have kept their heritage going thru song, dance , and music! So, that is fun!Last year, so many wanted to be in the Musical that we had to run 3 hours insted of the 2 we advertised! This month I am teaching Hula to 80 grade school kids!! It will definitely be a very fundamental hula!! I don't think we can enter the Merry Monarch contests! In April I am on my way to Kona, Hi to dog sit for a neice and nephew, Sid & Claudia Kono for anyone who lives there! (the dog sitting is a dirty job, but someone has to do it!!) And will half day sail on a catamaran and a sail boat! So that is near to sailing all the islands!! I'm pretty sure that each of you Tiki Central afficionados have that sense of adventure inside you too! Just make sure you keep it alive, even by doing little unusual stuff! And if you think it is easier to sit in front of TV .. don't do it.. Get up and get out! The world is wide and fun!!!! Auntie Bungy
