*DONE* Travel PIF

She's a beautiful girl! I noticed you were watching "A Christmas Story". We love that movie, and so do our little girls......

 

They are too cute! Pets are the best, true love all the time! 'A Christmas Story' is kind of a tradition, it is always on while we open christmas gifts. I heard they were going to try and remake...some movies are just perfect the way they are and should NOT be remade. Like Old Yella, Swiss Family Robinson, Ferris Bueller, etc

 

Thanks, and I agree with you. LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!
We went to see the Broadway play last year, and it was really good. Its a big tradition in our house also. we watch it on TBS for the full 24 hours that its on the air.
We decorate the house the day after Thanksgiving every year, and all the neighbors come over and we have our leg lamp lighting ceremony. Its the un-official kick-off to the Christmas season in our town.
At any given night, you will see bright flashes outside that looks like lightning, but its some random person taking a picture of the lamp in the window.
p.s. every year our christmas card is a picture of the dogs acting out a scene from the movie. you saw the Pink Nightmare scene, lol!

 

Visiting Europe, this part was very impressive. Les Baux de Provence in Southern France. Like it's taken out of a medieval movie of some kind.
Great PIF! Count me in!

 

I can't get any of my pictures to load, but I'll contribute some details about my trip to Ireland. I went there over St. Patty's Day a couple years ago. Whoever said that they don't celebrate the holiday there, is a liar. It was a wild 5 day celebration. But besides that, the countryside is very beautiful. It's green, there's a lot of flowers, lots of scenery, the people are very friendly, and the food is spectacular. I will go back someday.

 

Growing up in Brooklyn one day in PS 167 they gave us a copy of Junior Scholastic. The featured story was about Bali. I was so taken by the beauty of the place and people I swore I would go there someday. Large hope for a kid from the tenements in Brooklyn. I carried that magazine in my books for many months and looked at it every day until it fell apart. Fast foward 50 years plus I am in Bali with my wife. The best part is nothing except the cars has changed from the pictures in the magazine.

 

Barry, what part of Brooklyn are you from?

 

Crown Heights Utica and Eastern Parkway

 

I was raised on the other end of the borough, in Sheepshead Bay.

 

I was going to close this up, but I'm enjoying the posts too much. I'll go another week and hopefully we'll see more pictures.

In the meantime I need to figure out what happened to my pictures.

 

Yay for more pics & tales! Regarding the pilfered pics, perhaps the TSD OldSpice/LocalPig Spook has struck again

 

Here's some pics of our honeymoon. My wife and I got married on the beach in Panama city Florida and we rented a beach house for a week. It was beautiful... We had our own pool and hot tub...



We went to the outdoor mall there and won movie tickets just for trying on jeans at american eagle. So we went to see Batman dark Knight. One of the best movies I've ever seen at a theater. We had dinner at Margarita ville.....

So awesome. I love that place.... We haven't had a real vacation since, just a couple day trips here or there (kc).

 

This segment is titled: My Trip to the Bosnian/Serbian Border, or How I Spent my 21st Birthday...
(The last picture is actually just from a training work up for deployment, but it's an accurate image of how we looked loaded down with gear.)

 

And...the winner is....

ehcalum!

I'll send you a PM with your choices for the AS and ASB

Thanks for all the pictures, folks, I enjoyed seeing them.

 

Congrats ehcalum!
