overseas, yes, I have been Dana and am heading away again on the 18th. Mostly around the pacific rim but need to head to Greece at some stage to follow my heritage.
Oh, and one other trip I did a few years ago to Israel.
Most interesting lol |

SDana
A good friend that I wanted to visit after she had been here and spent some time with me as her host.
Plus after all I had read I wanted to see the country for real and feel the history there.
Truely amazing what they have done to a strip of sand.
I spent a few days in Jeruselam and at the dead sea.
Traveled along the West Bank etc. Went north to Haifa and the border with Lebanon etc.
There for two weeks but wouldn't have been bored if I had two months. Just that kind of place and the people hhhhhhhhmmmmmm wonderful, truley awesome |

Nice David ...
Would have been pretty amazing I agree. I wonder at peoples' anger towards others (though I can sort-of understand in some cases) when we have such an amazing planet to live on ...
I used to live on the planet you know as 'Jupiter' ... Now THAT was a lousy planet - |

Having been there I can see why all the agro and why they defend themselves so fervently.
The country is so small you can drive from one end to the other in 5 hours and across it in 2 |

David -
Yep, I s'pose you're right, but with my Ketamine-induced haze, behind my rose-tinted glasses I really can't see why we all just can't get along -
Historical grivances I suppose will always be held but -
Hang ONNNNN ...
Let's save that political stuff for other places, the Balcony is a place for light banter and 'humour' and kicking-back ...
Are you a photographer? There must have been some pretty fantastic places you've been to a captured on digital? |

I took some digital images, but the camera I had was stink.
At that point I put so much into getting there and my stay I couldn't afford to replace the camera.
If I had the oportunity to go again, I would at the drop of a hat. |

Ahhh well - An excuse to go back again, mate
I recall when my wife and I first went to the 'States' in '87, I had an SLR and by the time we had got home we'd taken well over 1000 shots in a 10-week period. |
