The resemblance is striking.

And I mean that in a nice way.

I'm willing to send her on a 25 year cruise!

Where did you get the notion I didn't like her?

I even rave about her baking skills! She even bakes special things just for me, she loves me so much!

For instance, she goes through all the trouble of pressing her face down in the dough just to make gorilla cookies for me.

See, you got it all wrong, I think the world of her.

She's a big woman, Blackie.

Initially I'd just be in hiding for a while, either somewhere remote like a mountain or lake cabin or out in the open with the family at Disney. Once everything was settled, I would be chartering a private yacht for a cruise either in the caribbean or mediterranean. Although the South Pacific would not be bad either. A 6 - 10 passenger yacht, full crew including a chef...

I'm the kinda guy that thinks about others before himself.

That's why my first thought about a vacation is one for my mother in law.

I'm gonna send her on a 25 Year Around The World Cruise with visits to every country on Earth.

I just need to find a cruise line with a very large, very buoyant ship because she's kinda big. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

She just needs special accomodations and care because she is a very large woman (she keeps her diaphragm in a pizza box... [ More ]

Your right Ladybugg . I hadn't mentioned Dubai either. I only mentioned places i would like to go back to as a vacationer and picked the ones I would like to vacation in . Of course the gold souk is nice but it is only a long street (at least when I was there ) of wall to wall gold shops where you can get 24 22 and 20 K gold fairly cheap compared to here in the US . Most folks have never seen real 22 K gold . You forgot to mention the Ice Hotel . The problem with Dubai is that they started a lot... [ More ]

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Dubai, UAE. It's a beautiful country with one-of-a-kind hotels. Imagine going on a desert safari, indoor skiing, and shopping for beautiful jewelry at the gold souk. I'd also visit Jamaica...I've always wanted to go there. Who wouldn't enjoy ziplining through the lush forests, walking on white sandy beaches, snorekeling, endless tropical drinks, and a laid back lifestyle

I know I have stated this once before, but when I win the JP, I will be heading off to the Philippines. Then of course, there are loads of other places that I would like to take the family. The Grand Canyon, the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, Nassau along with a cruise in that area, Singapore, Thailand, China, especially Hong Kong, then the wifey says that she would like to see most if not all of Europe...England, France, Germany for sure

So sad to see ppl not talking about pick 6 games.... I guess those require more luck than actual skill.... Anywho..... Would love to say I would go on an extended vacation to Brazil and Argentina! Woo hoo! Lived in Chile for a year, it was great... But I think Brazil might be paradise on Earth.

Thanks Cheryl .

I was going into Bremerhaven often until about 9 months ago TTech . Thats near Bremen . There is several Castles in Germany I'd like to take a few pictures of but like I say , most of my earlier days were spent in the bars. The Coliseum in Rome , I did see , never seen so many stray cats in my life . Went up to the Acropolis in Athens but didn't make it all the way to the top. There was construction going on at the time around 1997 . Passed the Eiffel tower on a bus once bu... [ More ]

Hah, yea if I were to ever visit other countries the main thing I would do is visit local bars, though I'm not ever planning on it, not much of a famous places person (ie: the Colloseum, Pantheon, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Ludwig's castles, Brandenburg Gate, etc). If I were to go anywhere it would be Germany with my dad, as he was born there, and I think we'd mainly be going to Ludwig's castle and bars/restaurants.

Thanks TTech.

I've been to 43 countries and can tell most people which bars I have been to but not much more than that . I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of the places than just the bars and nightlife.

Interesting stuff, people. Especially Blackie's, a lot of places most people wouldn't consider visting. One of my friends would definitely end up visiting some of those around the Indonesia/Phillipines area, he has some family from there.

For Coin Toss, I think a lot just want to be able to enjoy the stereotypical vacation where they have a nice room and spend a lot on the tables. I've been there once but didn't really gamble and stayed in a lower priced room, so I'd really consider goin... [ More ]

I would also go to Malta, Moscow, and South Africa (the country in which I was born).

Hmm.. Eventhough I would try and claim anon. I would get out of town just in case.....I would probably go to Alaska...where I can be in cities if I want and in the wilderness if I want.....Pretty hard for a camera crew to follow you into some of those places...But If that was too cold then maybe the Bahamas or Puerto Rico.....mmmmmm Beautifull women and Rum

England

Typical, usual, mundane, boring, cliche, or whatever you want to call it, we're going to Hawaii. I've been there 3 times, have seen Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island, and I'd like to go back to Oahu and see some of the other islands. It would be my wife's first time there.

Then we're going to spend some time with her family in Shanghai. By time, I mean weeks. While there we'll probably spend a few days in Hangzhou, which is a couple of hours outside of Shanghai.

And to kind of add on to your post Coin Toss, I don't get why people like Michael Jordan go to gamble in Vegas. All you have to do is Google Jordan and you will find out that he has lost millions upon millions of dollars gambling. Do you ever think it has crossed his mind that those millions of dollars could have helped out so many people around the world?

And for someone like him who is worth one billion dollars, ha... [ More ]

Yea around October/November I was thinking if I won it would be California. As much as I would want to go to NYC I would have to go somewhere much warmer to enjoy my winnings. As for sports I think I would have to end up going to every BCS game next year for college football and possibly the big rivalries in different states.
