don't underestimate Tassie, its beautiful and the food is great, its OZ combined with SI NZ.

What's 'SI'?

South Island, i.e. Christchurch, Dunedin . . . Franz Joseph Glacier etc... Beautiful

^Are you concerned about the "silver spoon effect," on your children? Resorts do that to them you know?

Nope - we balance it nicely. As I mentioned, Christmas was spent dirty, sweaty and cold on Mount Kinabalu . . . Camping in the National Park etc . . . not to worry, they are balanced. (We even let our nanny go . . . )
My parents treated us he same way. Father was a dip, so we could have been spoiled but we certainly weren't.

Rocker is simply trying to keep up with Landreth - heh...

No way, not possible, to keep up with 'The Man'!!

Seychelles. Mauritius (NOT Mauritania).

I went to both when I lived in India as they were close. Spent two weeks in each. Both great. Only bummer was I wanted to go marlin fishing off of Mauritius, where they had recently landed a world record black marlin, but the sea was too rough the entire time we were there. Of course the day we left the ocean was flat as a mill pond...Oh well.

^ Have you been marlin fishing elsewhere?

[Exit Strategy]

Thanks Ocker, nice, but more is always better

[Boon Mee]

^ Have you been marlin fishing elsewhere?

I did some Tuna fishing from an oil platform off Mauritania one time.

I'm in Singapore now, so will put up some pics of my old 'hood' when I return home

How did the tuna know you were fishing for them? Schooling around the Rig no doubt?

All my tuna fishing was done in a Tijuana whore house....

Every year during my tenure in KL went fishing to the Maldives with half dozen Malaysian friends. Great place. Best go now before the country sinks below the deep blue.

Iran one of my favs. Must get back there before I kick the bucket.

My wife booked us into a very nice resort in Ubud

Opps. Just saw this. Enjoy.

Off Antigua. Major fail.

Gave Ocker a few reds when he was stalking me.

I wondered why he was not chasing me anymore. Glad to see you are out of jail Ocker.

[panama hat]

Gave Ocker a few reds when he was stalking me.

Did you? Hmm, probably deserved them.

I wondered why he was not chasing me anymore. Glad to see you are out of jail Ocker.

Was never chasing you, Rick, just thought some of your posts were utter crap and responded . . . nothing personal!

Cheers! Jail lasted one week, worked out well with . . . real work.

[rickschoppers]

Heh, likewise Ocker. Haven't had the pleasure of being put in jail yet, but probably came close a few times.

^You need to work harder at insults Rick...

My tuna tasted better, we're sure!

[rickschoppers]

Itnt, just trying to soft sale a bit. You are much better at stinging than I.

[ltnt]

Mine were low fat no mercury content...taste, not so swell as you can testify.

just trying to soft sale a bit

Whats the point Rick, say it like it is. You are to old now to actually give a shit who you offend or am I missing my guess? I know I don't care for sure...

[rickschoppers]

You are right Itnt, I shall work on telling it like it is. Too many years working in management has brainwashed me to sugar coat, I guess.

[ltnt]

I shall work on telling it like it is.

I'm looking forward to your reincarnation Rick...next time you see one of those dogs take a dump in the middle of a thread call it what it is "shit!" Its not a Tootsie Roll, as you were taught in management class.

Be sure to wear your very best armor for the massive personal attacks that will follow.

[rickschoppers]

Yes BM, that part of the brainwashing that I never really agreed with, but was forced to follow. If I wanted something done, I would rather do it myself without interence from someone who does not know shit about the subject. I used to chuckle when someone tried to talk about running a pharmacy department when they had no clue of the laws and regs.

But I digress. Wished I had seen those threads and probably would have been in the thick of it.

[rickschoppers]

Itnt, I have learned a bit about personal attacks while being on TD. In the old days, I would just kick the shit out of someone, but now that I am an older bull, I just walk down the hill and stare them in the eye.

[ltnt]

^Old bull vs young bull theory is a management lie... or for lack of another word, bullshit! Next avoidance trick Rick?

More of a reference about the joke of an old bull and his son sitting on a hill looking down at a herd of heffers. Do you know it?

The Post Turtle analogy fits many threads aboard here too.
