TAN # 192 - A unique welTANschauung (Page 5)

Morning TAN!

Having trouble getting enough coffee in me this morning to be functional.... I really kinda want a permanent IV port put in for this.

would you rather:

go on vacation to barcelona or ecuador?

Seriously ? Ecuador. Depends a little on time of year and for how long but I've been to both and its Ecuador hands down.

may.  which seems like a nice time of year for either one.  barcelona is a little easier to get to...and i only have about a week total - including the travel so 5 or 6 good days when i am there.

Hmmm. For me Ecuador is one of the best countries I've been to. Quito is a very cool city. There's a very cool train you can take down to the coast. The route is called el nariz del diablo (the devil's nose). You can also go west into the jungle and take a river cruise along the Napo river which is one of the main tributaries to the Amazon. Very cool as also involves some hiking. Theres great hikes you can do around the volcanos, or go north to a very nice village called Otavalo. I know what you're thinking- how do I do all that in 6 days. You don't. You can pick one or 2 or find a way to extend.

On the other hand Barcelona you can cover in a day maybe 2 at the most. There are side trips you can do to the north into France or west into the Basque area, but for me Barcelona is a weekend stopover next time you fly over to Europe on business.

hmmm can you convince my husband this is a better idea than napa?  (which was originally my idea anyway, but i am itching to get supplement pages put in my passport.)

And herroo, TANsters.

I am hella cranky and hate everybody (not you). I am almost never this way so I'm trying to think of it as a refreshing break, to get all goopy and nasty and evil in for a change, for a bit.

I've been running a fever all day so that would explain a lot of it.

i get sick every time i travel to a tropical country.  and i keep going back for more.  you think i would learn my lesson, but the crazy fruits and market centers are far too tempting.  i feel bad for every connecting airport i come through.

I just remembered another thing about Ecuador- they eat Guinea Pig there. Its actually really good.

You've been in tri talk again, haven't you? 

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Clever Tangerines.

I sure could use some {TANGEMELONS SNUGGLES}

Hey Yanti,

You've been in Jakarta too much.  

I am going to a pre-screening of Downtown Abbey at the local PBS station tonight.  I enjoy the series a great deal.  I am not sure if I fit with the crowd that might be invited to a pre-screening.  I think no mocking or fake British accents will be allowed.  I will also have to be stone sober to drive home which will dampen the fun a bit. I will provide spoilers tomorrow.
