San Francisco.

That would be a cool trip Nikko!

That is a pretty boring ghost. It isn't even doing any tricks.

Nik - That we do! where abouts are you heading?

AMS - still in the planning stages. LA and Vegas are definitely on the list though, thinking about a week in LA, 5 or 6 days in Vegas. i want to jet across to the east side and do about a week there as well between New York and Washington DC. ive got a heap of other places on the list but it all depends on money really. considerations are chicago, Texas (dont ask why, i still dont even know) San Francisco, Nigara falls and a few others i cant remember at this point.

plan is to stop off in Hawaii on the way back as well for maybe 3-4 days. i went there early last year and loved every minute of it, so would love to just stop in again for a few days again

The one second from the right scares me more.

Also, the real reason she is scared is because Jabba the Hut up back right there is trying to eat her.

Who took their lady friends to MDSC last year?

Did they enjoy?
My Lady friend doesn't really care so much about the car scene.. but she does enjoy a good trip away
and she wants to go see Perth and that side of Straya

I'm wondering if surprising her with a trip there (although not that much of a surprise as i have to get her to clear it with work 6 months in advance haha)
would be positive or negative experience..

probably should as I cant really go away alone again after spending 2 months in Canada on my own..

I know there's more, but my head is a minefield right now.

Mark, if I was heading to the US, I would be heading to Texas for BBQ.

I would also stop by New Orleans, Seattle, Portland, LA, San Fransisco, NY, Baltimor and Boston. Just some of the places that interest me

[skillionaire]

Seriously though, you will not experience the Margaret River Wine Region for less coin, ever. It's pretty much as simple as that.

LA was great but one suggestion - get a plan ahead of time. LA is very spread out, so have a daily plan (including 'do nothing' days). Two suggestions would be universal studios (entire day) and there's a off huge shopping center about 45 mins north of LA (car service will take you there) called Camarillo. I'm not a big clothes shopper but farrrk I bought a lot of stuff here. So much good shit for so cheap. Also, another full day.

Texas isn't exactly BBQ country. They have them, but the dirty south is more the spot for it.

If I do go, I HAVE to see another NBA game.

If it comes off, I'll be working most of the time, but in America they consider an 8 hour shift working hard.... so I think I can see a bit in between.

I loved Universal Studios when I went. Not long after the Tower of Terror was opened.

Those were the days.

Say that to someone from Texas and you will be shot and killed, it is very much BBQ country, Dirty South is the spiced pork style BBQ, Texas developed and evolved its own style using Beef, and they do it well.

i think i want to see Texas just to see if its really like its portrayed. and the BBQ would be awesome. Americans know how to eat. all their food is really good and really cheap. best ribs i have ever had came from a Rib House in Honolulu, cost me 12 bucks australian and i got ribs, steak, rice, chips salad and baked bean salsa stuff on a huge plate.

NY Is a definite because i want to see the WTC site, statue of liberty, times square etc. theres alot of places on my list of to see, but it comes down to money and time, not going to be able to get it all in unless i do 2-3 days at each place, when i want to spend longer in places like vegas and LA.

OK. Give me twenty minutes, and the bloke that lived in Houston for 8 years will be here.

Who took their lady friends to MDSC last year?

Yes.

Did they enjoy?

Yes.

To be honest MDSC over the last year or two has become a bit less about the 'car scene' and more about good drink and good food and seeing WA's south west...there is still car related stuff but not the douchy kind.

@Mark: Are you travelling alone?

[Shaz]

Yeah, I'll most likely bring the missus this year.
