Great video Roger! Looks really fun!

Thanks Jesse and Mike! I still have a little bit of guilt for being able to enjoy it because Hurricane Katrina ended up making it so cheap... but a great way to travel is to take advantage of problems that greatly reduce the costs or going in the off season when the weather might not be great but you can still enjoy so many things.

wow Roger , love the song and pictures , problem is if I been to some of the places you have been to , I don't know if I ever go back home

Also you were awful close to the edge on the video , if you go overboard , will they come back and pick you up? lol

EnterTheTwilightZone 3 years ago

LOL! Thanks David!!! Yeah, fortunately, not being a warm weather person, though they were great to visit, their siren call didn't have much effect on me!

:P

LOL! Since I can't swim, I'm sure if I fell over, I'd have sunk to the bottom of the Gulf!!! I was very careful to brace my feet as it was scary for me to lean over like that!

:P

RogCBrand 3 years ago

Yeah if I go up like escelators and such look over , I imagine myself jumping , gives me that eerie dizzy feeling

Same here , I about drowned when I was younger which led me to stay clear of water that was deeper than my height

If I was there on the edge , I would definitely had a life jacket on

EnterTheTwilightZone 3 years ago

LOL! I feel the same way when I'm looking over the edge of something like the Space Needle in Seattle or over the edge of the Grand Canyon- in a fraction of a second ideas of what if I slipped? what if someone pushed me? what if I jumped?

:P

I'm terrified of deep water- which is why I've never learned to swim- but for some odd reason I love being on boats- big ships to white water rafting is fine, as long as I'm not in the water itself!!

my sister skydived today for her birthday and she said it was great , she has more guts than me , if I did it I know I better not eat beforehand lol

As the saying goes , if God wanted me under water he would gave me gills , if he wanted me 2-3 miles above the ground , he would gave me wings , but if I ever want to get to Hawaii I will have to fly though lol

EnterTheTwilightZone 3 years ago

LOL! Nice! There have been times when my brother or a friend have talked about getting me to skydive with them that I've considered it! I really think it would be easier jumping out of a plane at high altitude, with a parachute than looking over the edge of a high building with nothing! Sort of like you were talking about looking over the side of the ship with a life jacket on!

Hey! It's a little nerve racking the first time you fly but after that it's great! Hope you go to Hawaii!

RogCBrand 3 years ago

yeah the worst ever is the video of the people jumping from the World Trade Center , just couldn't imagine having to make that choice so any time I go up buildings also and look down , just an eerie feeling

Well if you ever do skydive , have to get it on video , soon as I have my retirememnt plan , "the lottery" , Hawaii bound I am , well first a stop in Vegas then Hawaii

EnterTheTwilightZone 3 years ago

Exactly! That's the image from 9-11 that most brings home the terror for the people there!

LOL! If you won the lottery, you might as well travel around the world!

:P

RogCBrand 3 years ago

yeah Vegas and Hawaii would be first on the list though but Egypt(The Pyramids) and Rome are also there and go on a lot of cruises but staying away from the edge lol

As a sports fan I would love to attend games of all sports in all stadiums and arenas and also all the landmarks like the Statue of Liberty , Grand Canyon , Mount Rushmore , and so on

EnterTheTwilightZone 3 years ago

LOL! It was kind of scary when we were in slightly rough seas one night, when I looked over the edge as the ship was rolling a bit!

:P

LOL! Shane is a life long Cowboys fanatic & Steven follows in his footsteps & they really want to go when the new stadium opens!

One neat thing is freighters that have some of the officers quarters free for passengers- they go to unusual ports & though it's not fancy there's good food, lots of time to just relax! I've thought that'd be fun!

RogCBrand 3 years ago

wow Cowboy fans in Oregon , how did that happen lol

like you said too about the food , I would love to go to Italy as I love Italian food , imagine they have some great restaurants and just experience the different cultures of the world too as I see some on TV especially with that bizzare foods guy but some stuff he eats I will not eat

but it is cool how cultures and different areas of the world are so different and he gets paid to go experience it

EnterTheTwilightZone 3 years ago

LOL! I'm not sure! It probably helps that the only professional sports team in Oregon is basketball, so picking a football team means turning to the Seattle Seahawks, or some other...

:P

Yes! When that guy hates something he eats- when he'll be fine with some really horrid stuff- you know it's got to be bad!

:P

Yeah! I think a job that takes you all around the world would be neat!

RogCBrand 3 years ago

worst thing I ever smelled was a Durian which I think it is called , someone brought it to class one time , think it is classified as a fruit , never tasted it but man it was horrid

and below views on the video here says I can watch in high or low quality , why even give a choice and why would you choose low quality?

EnterTheTwilightZone 3 years ago

LOL!

I wonder about people who like things like Limburger cheese! I figure even if it tastes great there's no way I'm getting past the smell!

What about those Chinese duck eggs that are allowed to rot in the ground for months before eating?

:O

LOL! I was wondering that too, but maybe it's because with something like dial-up high quality would take 4 times longer to load?

RogCBrand 3 years ago

lol don't know about the duck eggs but why would they do that?

ah the loading time , that makes sense , see you up to #42 for the week for most discussed , hopefully all comments today will move you up

EnterTheTwilightZone 3 years ago

I'm sure, like a lot of "delicacies" the rotten duck eggs (did I mention they are to the point of having a little chick inside- beak, etc.) it's probably a matter of historic use to foods, like how all those French sauces were made to cover the non-refrigerated rotten meats they had. Then there was the bizarre food guy eating the Iceland shark meat that is hung in a shed for months to "rot" then eaten raw!

:o

And thanks to you and WoosterFanGirl for all the comments!

:P

RogCBrand 3 years ago

mmmmm non-refrigerated rotten meats lol , I always wonder about that if he ever gets sick or maybe they have a doctor following him around , with the raw stuff especially if it has been hanging around for months and then getting tapewords or god know what else eating some of that stuff

yeah I am the commenting machine , actually till now I forgot I still had the commenting machine name

EnterTheTwilightZone 3 years ago

LOL! I imagine people had a greater tolerance for rotten food- both in health as well as taste! I bet most of us would die if we went back in time and had to live like people used to!

LOL! You are indeed a commenting machine!

:P

RogCBrand 3 years ago

here you go , took me a while to remember the password , that is such a great song , want to say I heard it before your video but each time I listen , up to #33 , woohoo

yeah thats why we live a lot longer now days along with medication , saw a stat I think I may have told you is the average life expectancy in Mozambique in southeast Africa is 34 years of age , so lucky to be born into this time and place on this planet to have wonderful choices and I can sit here and type comments forever

CommentingMachine 3 years ago

LOL! Yeah, I'm always afraid of forgetting my passwords like I forgot my locker combination in junior high!

:P

Yeah, some parts of the world, especially around Africa, are still at the life expectancy of most of history! I'd be dead by now if I lived there!
