Horatio Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 My idea is to start a topic to talk about our travels, adventures and great places. This way we can share stories of places we have been with people who may not be able to get there. If you have pics, this would be a great addition. No pics of yourself please. We have lots of people who know great places to go on holiday, if you have been somewhere you think we should visit, please let us know. Thanks!

Vixen. Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 My travels? Oh dear, where do I start??? I guess I will start with Loch Sport, my second home! This is the place that me and my dad love the most. It is inbetween two lakes and the sea so it is the best place for water sports and fishing. We go canoeing when the weather is alright. There is not very much to do but just hanging out at the banks of lake Victoria is good enough. It's just so relaxing getting away from the noisy suburbs! Theres plenty of wildlife, this is a place where you can actually have a kangaroo in your backyard! Lakes Entrance is Mum and my sister's favourite spot. It's heaps of fun, theres go carts, paddle boats, shopping centres, really big sand dunes, fishing(not as good as LS), mini golf, restaraunts and heaps more. It's a very busy place and if you wanna have fun you usually have to have money. Other places I've been to are Wilsons Prom, Lake Tyres, The Buchan Caves, Woodside and Welshpool. In Victoria that is. I have two more states to go before I've travelled all around Australia. I been to New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Queensland (been there about 8 or 9 times), Western Australia, South Australia and of course Victoria. Internationally I've been to India, Malaysia and Singapore. There is also talking of plans to go to England, Switzerland and America. I've been to India about 5 times! India is just the best. Mango and coconut trees in your garden, tropical climate, amazing wildlife... the list is endless! Gotta go now, who knows where the road (and sky and sea) will take me! -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky_monkey2011 Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Who be sarah? And why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sarah is the girl that ruined moosey368's and myselfs dance. We used to be the best of friends till I got another one and I spent more time With La Raye (the other friend) then her. I took La Raye to the mall and in the parade and Sarah had a hissy fit she asked my why Ididn't bring her. 1.didn't want to 2.couldn't 3.couldn't contact her (she has a stupid older brother and sister tieing up the phone line) so it's really not my fault. Plus she thought I said Iwould bring her. I said only if La Raye can't come .Because we had other people going on the float and I would perfer La Raye going.(i didn't tell her the last sentence that would be really rude) And thats how the whole delama started. But wierdly we fixed our problems and became friends (not very good ones though). I stupidly got her a x-mas gift(realy only be cause she got me one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 My favorite place was probally Florida and Chicago.Also Oklahoma Flordia because they beaches were awsome I loved the beaches. Chicago because I loved the hustle but some stuff I didn't like,like having to see homeless men makes me sad. There was a camp site in Oklahoma I loved because I saw a doe and her fawn,I rockclimbed on the rocks,and racoons invaded our camp and chewed on my flashlight. There was another camp were this red fox came up to our camp fire so we were feeding him like 2 marshmellows cause he was really hungry to come up to a fire. But another camp came and chased him away. Yes I like traveling it is fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullaypop Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Sarah is the girl that ruined moosey368's and myselfs dance. We used to be the best of friends till I got another one and I spent more time With La Raye (the other friend) then her. I took La Raye to the mall and in the parade and Sarah had a hissy fit she asked my why Ididn't bring her. 1.didn't want to 2.couldn't 3.couldn't contact her (she has a stupid older brother and sister tieing up the phone line) so it's really not my fault. Plus she thought I said Iwould bring her. I said only if La Raye can't come .Because we had other people going on the float and I would perfer La Raye going.(i didn't tell her the last sentence that would be really rude) And thats how the whole delama started. But wierdly we fixed our problems and became friends (not very good ones though). I stupidly got her a x-mas gift(realy only be cause she got me one) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah i memgber that thats wen the whole justin thing was goin on and well that was at x-mas and in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesus Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I like shooting people in indoor lazer-tag A new game! not really... but anyways... I didn't feel like making a new topic and this was the place to do vacation things, so here is that vacation info horatio! On sunday two weeks ago, we left for grayson highlands, virginia. We had our Rav-4, bike rack, and camper all hitched up and ready to go. we pull out, and SSCCCCCCCRRRAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE!!! This was our first time traveling in the new ra-4, and we didn't know that the bike rack made the hitch connecting the car and camper together much two low, so the hitch was scraping the road. we couldn't go like this, so we had to take off the hitch and lug all the bikes and hitch back to the house. we were off to a great start. ^.^ After that, we were good. We started down, a very noneventful trip, thankfully. we listened to books on CD's, whales on stilts this time. And I played DS. WE got there, up high in the muntains, a very pretty wooded area with an open field in the middle, which was great for viewing the fighter planes that fly over often enough. The next day, after seting up and relaxing the previous night, We prepared gorp ultra (good-ole-raisens and peanutes and a bunch of other things, fruit, m&ms, sunflower seeds, prunes) and packed our bags with drinks, aforementioned gorp, and crackers, and set off for massie gap. That is the start to the hike to mount rodgers, which is 8 miles total. You start off by going up this big steep hill, but relatively easy to walk on (but not up .) This leads to a part of a horse trail, which leads through an open plain that has ponies along side of it that sometimes come up to you, and they let you pet them as well. After that, there is a part through a burned forest and up the first mountain, but the trail is pretty much just a bunch of rocks, not easy to walk on at all. not small rocks, ones that are a bout 3 feet across, and a bunch of sharp edges. that leads to a rocky peak, and after that it is a dirt path about 1 foot wide down to a lower part, and back up to another peak. This then goes to rhodedendron gap, which is pretty much a rhodedendron forest. you walk through that to thomas knob, which has a shelter on it for weary travelers. This is part of the appalachian, after all. it merges after the pony field, i believe. From the shelter on, it is a hike up through a steep field into a very thick, mossy, pine forest. At the end of that part, you have reached the top of mount rodgers, the highest point in virginia! then you get to turn around and do it all again! and because it is over several mountains, it is not all downhill on the way back. we finished that at about 7 at night. we went back to camp, and relaxed the rest of the night. The next day, we weren't in much of a "moving" mood, so we drove around the area for a couple of hours, looking at vairous views. we found ourselves right behind a bunch of classic MGs, all from canada. the next day, we decided to do the virginia creeper trail, a 17 mile bikeride down a mountain or two, all around damascus, a nice little town in virginia. Because we couldn't bring our bikes, we had to rent a couple from where we took the shuttle up to the top of the trail. After we finished the trail, we got ice cream at this one place where we always get ice cream at after we finish the trail, i believe it is called "off the beaten path ice cream." Over the ext couple of days, we did a hike up to the twin pinnacles, which are two pinnacles on this one mountain, a nice trail through the woods with some quite steep places, and we did abut 2.5 miles there. Also, we did this one hike down to the bottom of the mountain we were camped on. AT the bottom there is a mountain stream, quite ferocious in a couple p[laces, as in the current easily lifted and pushed away rocks the size of two fists. That was a nice hike. But alas, on saturday we had to go home. We packed up, and started the trip back. Pretty uneventful, stopped at cracker barrel for lunch/dinner, and listened to "blood lure," a mystery novel by nevada barr, or something like that, on CD. However, with about two hours left to get home, It poured. not just raining, but pouring. So we were on an interstate, with low visibility, and a bunch of cars. quite fun. So we had to unpack in the rain, but by then it had let up a bit. ANd that is the end to our vacation. We had perfect weather the whole time, but we get back and look what happens.

The Grim Hamster lord Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I'm off to visit Madagascar this summer as part of the British Schools Exploration Society. I shall post some details of the trip for those of you who are interested; The Expedition Lying 400 kilometres off the east coast of Africa, Madagascar is the world's fourth largest island and offers diverse and spectacular scenery: mountains, deserts, rainforests, dazzling beaches fringing the Indian Ocean and island archipelagos linked by coral reefs and clear turquoise waters. Isolated from the continents 160 million years ago, Madagascar followed a unique evolutionary path resulting in a diverse number of endemic species and specialisations found nowhere else on earth, including enormous tortoises, elephant birds, and lemurs. Lemurs were the highest primate form on the island until the Malagasy people, of Afro-Polynesian ancestry, arrived a mere 2000 years ago. Working alongside a team of dedicated researchers and conservationists from the University of Antanarivo in Madagascar and in conjunction with remotely located non government organisations, you will have the chance to explore the fragile and important rainforest environment and contribute to the preservation of one of the most beautiful wilderness areas on Earth. To see some stunning footage of the wildlife and and landscapes in Madagascar have a look at the Conservation International website. We are are working with this NGO in their forest corridor establishment programme, see the science and research section for more details. What's involved? The expedition will last for up to five weeks departing in mid-July and your journey begins by flying to Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, for acclimatisation, training and packing before dispersing East into the rainforest in groups called 'Fires' to begin the research and adventure projects. Research and Adventure No expedition to Madagascar would be complete without seeing lemurs and you will be going into the jungle to observe and record the habits of lemurs including the rare Indri lemur which is the largest species of lemur and can only be found in the area we are exploring. The rainforest in Madagascar has an unsurpassed diversity of plant species and you will be helping local botanists in surveying these species for the production of therapeutic oils and homeopathic medicines. These good are an important way in which local people can create a sustainable use and income for the forest and thus ensure its survival. There is also the opportunity to explore the coastal rivers that feed into the Indian Ocean travelling in traditional wooden boats and conducting bird and fish surveys. This census and survey work is complemented by practical conservation projects including path maintenance to protect the fragile rainforest, collecting specimens of rare trees to be replanted in nurseries to protect the species and creating fresh transects through the forest to survey endangered tree specimens. The experience of simply living under the dense rainforest canopy and sleeping out under stars surrounded by the wild animals of the jungle will be an adventure in itself. Other adventure activities will involve trekking, river boating and wilderness survival training. The expedition will include a week long trek in the remote central highlands of Madagascar and an ascent of the spectacular 2,643m mountain Tsiafajavona in the volcanic Ankaratra mountain range. During this trek you will have the opportunity to visit a village community and gain first hand experience of a culture very different from our own. Trump that.

The Grim Hamster lord Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Official photos of where I am going and such for everyone! We go canoeing there in canoes (well, obviously) made by the indigenous population. Guess what I'll be studying out in the wilderness! I have to possibly spend a couple of nights like this. A prospect I do not look forward to. ZOMG! SNAKEZ! An advance photograph of where I am falling off while exploring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
