Crazy story/tip: I suggest you rent a car and drive across Ireland from Dublin to Galway, but ONLY if you are a Verrrry good driver! I rented a small car – I can drive standards like Andretti but this was lefty, with the steering wheel on the right side, and driving on the left side of the street in the middle of downtown Dublin traffic!!! I’m telling ya … I hadn’t been that nervous in a while. Definitely scour Dublin but make it out West to the cliffs of Moher in Clare, and also see the Megalithic tombs. Galway is a great place as well.

I was born in New Orleans and adore that place. The Big Easy is dear to my heart. Tip: I highly recommend Jazz Festival over Mardis Gras – the crowd during Jazz Festival is there for the fantastic music, culture, food and the fun is on a different level vs. the Mardis Gras drunken fraternity/sorrority idiots wearing vomit drenched clothing, urine flowing in the streets, cops atop horses, dirty lecherous buffoons ready to grope anyone, etc. Jackson Square, and the French Quarter are not the only great sites in New Orleans, explore. North Louisiana (Monroe area) sucks, sorry.

Spent two amazing New Years here

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The thing is that its such an advanced mountain that theres few beginners around and the snow is so good that it lasts till May. The resort itself is in an avalanche prone canyon so the few buildings there are made of solid concrete with shutters for all wondows – almost zero nightlife. If you’re there to ski or SNOWBOARD you’re gonna be exhausted from the long days on the big, challenging, mountain anyway so rest up for the next big day. Go to Breckenridge, or Vail for the Apres Ski.

Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, Sevilla, Ibiza, Marbella, Figueres, Valencia, Valor, Ugijar ….. Spain is a Beautiful Place.

I saw the excellent Edward Hopper Exhibit there in ‘04.

If you love techno/trance/progressive/house/whatever then Ibiza is your heaven! I saw DJ Tiesto live at Club Amnesia…. UNREAL!! Crazy story… My friend Kiersen and I decide to swim from Ibiza Island to a smaller island about a mile away. The swim there was no problem, the swim back was a different story. After what felt like two hours of zig-zagging through the strong current, we crawled onto the beaches of Ibiza and collapsed for a while.
Watch the movie, “It’s All Gone Pete Tong” BIG UP’s.

I highly recommend the Fat Tire Bike Tour for the lowdown on the history/sites/pubs etc. – those guys are great. Also check out the movie Goodbye Lenin :)
