| 21:38.45 | youtah | i want to go to Lagoon |
| 21:40.52 | jsmith | youtah: I want to go the moon |
| 21:41.02 | youtah | no you dont |
| 21:41.08 | youtah | pictures or it didn't happen |
| 21:41.15 | jsmith | youtah: No, really I do. And you don't really want to go to Lagoon... |
| 21:41.24 | jsmith | youtah: You really want to go to a *real* amusement park :-) |
| 21:41.30 | youtah | I just wanna go ride Cannible |
| 21:41.41 | youtah | cannibal |
| 21:41.45 | youtah | however you spell it |
| 21:42.20 | youtah | jsmith, it hits upwards of 88mph |
| 21:42.38 | youtah | and goes at a 116 degree freefall |
| 21:42.49 | youtah | down a 208 foot drop |
| 21:42.51 | youtah | it's what fun it |
| 21:42.53 | youtah | is |
| 21:43.34 | jsmith | youtah: https://www.kingsdominion.com/play/rides/dominator |
| 21:43.41 | youtah | Hey! When are you going to come out and do things, like, go to Lagoon? |
| 21:43.46 | BigBen212 | my wife really wants to go to Disneyland ... should I give in and go? |
| 21:43.53 | jsmith | youtah: https://www.kingsdominion.com/play/rides/intimidator-305 |
| 21:43.55 | Migs | why Disneyland? |
| 21:44.02 | BigBen212 | because she went as a kid |
| 21:44.03 | jsmith | youtah: When are you going to come out here and go to King's Dominion? |
| 21:44.08 | BigBen212 | and thought it was so cool |
| 21:44.12 | Migs | so why not try something different? |
| 21:44.19 | Migs | like Seaworld or Universal Studios? |
| 21:44.21 | jsmith | youtah: I've been to your place a couple of times, but you've never been to mine :-p |
| 21:44.26 | youtah | lol |
| 21:44.26 | Migs | or Hawaii? |
| 21:44.27 | BigBen212 | and she can't even be a passenger in a car these days without getting sick |
| 21:44.27 | youtah | dangit |
| 21:44.32 | BigBen212 | I want to go to Hawaii (again) |
| 21:44.49 | Migs | Disneyland would be more expensive than just relaxing on the beach in Hawaii |
| 21:44.56 | youtah | it's so expensive to fly and such jsmith .... and you're like super rich, and money is no object |
| 21:44.57 | BigBen212 | and I can't go into mostof the rides in those stupid parks anyway because I'm too tall |
| 21:44.57 | Migs | or even the Bahamas |
| 21:45.01 | BigBen212 | (and too wide, hehe) |
| 21:45.17 | Migs | I would put my foot down and tell her NO |
| 21:45.26 | youtah | BigBen212, you could do Cannibal me thinks |
| 21:45.28 | Migs | that's not a proper vacation for a married couple without children |
| 21:45.34 | BigBen212 | so I'd pay $200 for Disneyland (from what a coworker told me) and watch people have fun |
| 21:45.37 | jsmith | youtah: I don't know where you get the idea that I'm super-rich -- you're the one with all the fancy toys, and the fancy car... |
| 21:45.46 | Migs | more than $200 by the end of the day |
| 21:45.49 | youtah | DUDE, I would so go on a Disney Cruise again, without the kids |
| 21:45.51 | BigBen212 | Migs: so true |
| 21:46.00 | Migs | there you go...Disney Cruise |
| 21:46.04 | youtah | it. was. awesome. |
| 21:46.09 | jsmith | youtah: Really? |
| 21:46.11 | Migs | Disneyland without the stress |
| 21:46.13 | BigBen212 | why Disney cruise others ? |
| 21:46.19 | BigBen212 | why not a "normal" cruise ? |
| 21:46.21 | youtah | Private Island with an Adults only side |
| 21:46.26 | BigBen212 | what's appealing about Disney cruise ? |
| 21:46.31 | youtah | this is not a conversation for IRC |
| 21:46.34 | youtah | I have SOOOO much advice |
| 21:46.39 | jsmith | youtah: I've been to plenty of supposedly "private" islands vefore :-) |
| 21:46.50 | youtah | I've been on Carnival, multiple Royal Carribean cruises, etc |
| 21:46.54 | jsmith | youtah: But that's another story for another day -- time to go lay more flooring |
| 21:46.55 | Migs | my wife and I decided once our oldest turns 16, we're going to start just taking weekend trips once a month |
| 21:47.01 | Migs | just the two of us |
| 21:47.12 | Migs | maybe a once-a-year trip somewhere the kids...but mostly just us |
| 21:47.17 | Migs | kids just ruin vacations |
| 21:47.19 | BigBen212 | Only done Princess cruise (4 times) and they've got us locked in with their loyalty program :) |
| 21:47.27 | youtah | BigBen212, you don't get to have Dinner with Mickey Mouse on Carnival |
| 21:47.37 | youtah | Princess is great |
| 21:47.44 | youtah | however I don't do Formal |
| 21:47.49 | BigBen212 | yeah ... why would I want to have dinner with Mickey Mouse :) |
| 21:47.52 | Migs | I'd like to do a metal cruise |
| 21:47.59 | BigBen212 | neither do I. No formal for me. |
| 21:48.02 | youtah | Just, whatever you do... don't do Carnival |
| 21:48.17 | jsmith | youtah: I'll tell you a story about that when I get back online. :-) |
| 21:48.20 | Migs | e.g. http://70000tons.com/ |
| 21:48.21 | BigBen212 | that's how I pick employers too. If I have to dress up (past tshirt and jeans) for work, it's not for me. |
| 21:48.34 | youtah | unless you like raw sewage bubbling up out of the toilets on the bottom three floors with being stuck out to sea, and people fighting over wilted lettuce |
| 21:48.38 | BigBen212 | youtah: all the same company anyway, isn't it ? |
| 21:48.42 | Migs | non-stop concerts |
| 21:48.47 | BigBen212 | Princess is part of carnival |
| 21:49.00 | youtah | BigBen212, except they maintain those ships |
| 21:49.09 | BigBen212 | hehe, okay :) |
| 21:49.16 | youtah | Carnival == Southwest |
| 21:49.21 | BigBen212 | don't have anything bad to say about Princess, no kidding. |
| 21:49.28 | BigBen212 | they were great every time we went. |
| 21:49.30 | youtah | other than formal |
| 21:49.36 | youtah | I dont do formal |
| 21:49.42 | youtah | too many formal dinners |
| 21:49.51 | youtah | I want to show up in my swimming suit |
| 21:50.07 | BigBen212 | wife and I are old at heart. We go to Bingo and Trivia and not the pool or music :) |
| 21:50.14 | youtah | heh |
| 21:50.19 | RyanE | I loved our Royal Caribbean cruise, we're doing another in August. |
| 21:50.26 | BigBen212 | ... or maybe I should just admit that 39 is not only old at heart anymore |
| 21:50.28 | RyanE | and I've done Disney twice. |
| 21:50.37 | RyanE | too expensive for me (Disney Cruise Lines) |
| 21:50.38 | youtah | You'd like Celebrity too |
| 21:50.47 | BigBen212 | heard good about Royal Caribbean too. |
| 21:50.52 | RyanE | The RC cruise we did last time had the Flowrider on it. |
| 21:50.53 | RyanE | fun |
| 21:50.59 | youtah | We do the combo. Parks + Cruise |
| 21:51.07 | youtah | Drop off the kids, they give you a pager, and you disappear on the ship. |
| 21:51.09 | RyanE | been there, done that. |
| 21:51.23 | RyanE | when we did disney cruise with kids, it was one of the first serious norwalk virus cruises. |
| 21:51.26 | RyanE | not great. |
| 21:51.32 | RyanE | kids didn't like the kid zone much. |
| 21:51.33 | BigBen212 | ooh, I guess Disney is great for kids that way then, if you can just drop your kids off |
| 21:51.36 | RyanE | so they paged us immediately |
| 21:51.38 | youtah | RC is probably my favorite. Cheap, but not Cheap. |
| 21:51.45 | RyanE | only if your kids like 'kid zones'... :) |
| 21:52.00 | youtah | lol |
| 21:52.13 | youtah | my kids are like... "No mom and dad?! HECK YES" |
| 21:52.22 | BigBen212 | It's a matter of "you will enjoy this kid zone!" |
| 21:52.28 | youtah | ^ |
| 21:52.31 | BigBen212 | ... says the one without kids :) |
| 21:52.32 | RyanE | I'm sure they're better than in 2004 and 2006 when we did Disney last. |
| 21:52.43 | youtah | I paid for this kid zone d#$@& it! Now you enjoy! |
| 21:52.47 | RyanE | now we just don't take 'em. :) |
| 21:53.00 | youtah | googles Cruises |
| 21:53.03 | RyanE | Our entire house becomes 'Kid Zone' while we're gone on our cruise. |
| 21:53.09 | BigBen212 | hehe, just make a vacation look boring enough and they will not want to go |
| 21:53.12 | youtah | LOL |
| 21:53.14 | BigBen212 | and stay with the grandparents insteaed |
| 21:53.29 | BigBen212 | oh yeah, we're going to see all these museums in and around Boston :) |
| 21:53.50 | RyanE | Our next cruise leaves from Boston. |
| 21:54.10 | BigBen212 | I want to go on a cruise again |
| 21:54.56 | BigBen212 | last cruise was 2012 ... :| |
| 21:54.58 | BigBen212 | time flies. |
| 21:56.08 | BigBen212 | have any of you done a Hawaii cruise, roundtrip either SFO, LAX or SEA ? |
| 22:07.54 | joshh | you mean what airport would be best? |
| 22:08.21 | BigBen212 | nope, I mean the cruise departing from either of those cities and returning to it |
| 22:08.33 | joshh | ah ok, not me |
| 22:21.37 | youtah | The Hawaii is one I haven't done |
| 22:21.48 | youtah | I've done all over in the Carribean, lots of mexico |
| 22:21.50 | youtah | Alaska |
| 22:21.54 | youtah | once |
| 22:21.57 | youtah | and that's it |
| 22:22.05 | BigBen212 | I've done the pacific side of Mexico |
| 22:22.14 | youtah | I want to do a Mediterranean one WAY bad. |
| 22:22.36 | BigBen212 | yeah, they all look good. |
| 22:25.03 | spangborn | I'm never coming back to Utah |
| 22:25.06 | jsmith | youtah: Med is fun, eastern is better than western |
| 22:25.19 | youtah | Eastern would be my pick |
| 22:25.28 | spangborn | California is just too nice |
| 22:25.52 | BigBen212 | Spain is so crowded since people cut back on their Turkey trips |
| 22:26.57 | BigBen212 | last time I was in Germany, I looked for some deals that should have been just a couple hundred bucks and the flights alone from Germany into either Barcelona or Madrid were around 700 Euro |
| 22:27.00 | jsmith | was in Spain in March :-) |
| 22:27.12 | BigBen212 | even the guy at the travel office told me he wouldn't do it |
| 22:27.22 | jsmith | BigBen212: Did you look at the budget airlines? Usually they're <$100 one way |
| 22:27.30 | BigBen212 | at the same time, you could get 7 days in Turkey, flight hotel and everything for 200 bucks |
| 22:28.02 | BigBen212 | yeah, but Ryanair specifically, you're stuck with some far-off airports. |
| 22:28.16 | BigBen212 | e.g. they call it Frankfurt, but it's 100 miles away |
| 22:28.33 | BigBen212 | plus, legroom isn't even an option on Ryanair. |
| 22:30.41 | BigBen212 | in any case, when I tried it last time I was in Germany (Sept/Oct 2016), Spain was just overrun |
| 22:31.07 | BigBen212 | all the people who usually go to Turkey or Egypt changed their mind :) |
| 22:44.28 | BigBen212 | spangborn: where in CA ? |
| 22:45.38 | spangborn | San Jose, right now |
| 22:45.44 | spangborn | I'll be in Monterey later |
| 22:46.18 | BigBen212 | I've only been to the south, LA and San Diego |
| 22:46.34 | spangborn | I'm a big fan of the bay area |
| 22:46.38 | BigBen212 | but I want to go to San Francisco and spend some time there. Especially because my wife's got family around the bay |
| 22:47.10 | spangborn | I wish I could afford to live in the bay |
| 22:47.55 | BigBen212 | all the people I know that live there are annoyed by the prices |
| 22:48.56 | BigBen212 | and it's not even just the rent or house ownership cost |
| 22:49.04 | spangborn | The housing is absurd |
| 22:49.04 | BigBen212 | but hotels are expensive too |
| 22:49.10 | spangborn | Oh yes |
| 22:49.23 | spangborn | I'm staying in an AirBNB outside of San Jose and it's $600/wk |
| 22:49.26 | spangborn | Which isn't too awful |
| 22:49.33 | BigBen212 | no, that sounds good. |
| 22:49.43 | spangborn | It's a really nice spot too. |
| 22:49.47 | BigBen212 | just one room or more than that ? |
| 22:49.51 | spangborn | It's a studio |
| 22:50.00 | spangborn | A very nice one, at that |
| 22:50.30 | BigBen212 | and are you there for work or vacation ? |
| 22:50.32 | TodPunk | Nobody can afford to live in the bay |
| 22:50.39 | spangborn | Vacation |
| 22:50.42 | TodPunk | Nobody |
| 22:51.04 | spangborn | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/GSo4LKzH/IMG_4699.JPG |
| 22:51.27 | BigBen212 | own kitchen and everything ... nice |
| 22:51.34 | spangborn | Yeah, it's pretty swanky |
| 22:52.03 | BigBen212 | drive or flight ? |
| 22:53.43 | spangborn | Flight, thankfully |
| 22:57.04 | BigBen212 | and traffic is nuts, right ? |
| 22:58.37 | BigBen212 | I'd most likely just be on the other side of the bay (Berkeley, Richmond) because that's where my wife's family is and then maybe take the train into San Francisco to do the touristy stuff. |
| 23:10.20 | *** join/#utah aeryndunham (~quassel@170.250.131.39) |
| 23:18.21 | spangborn | I havenât been driving so I wouldnât know :) |
| 23:18.28 | spangborn | Iâve never driven in the bay |
| 23:47.27 | aeryndunham | BigBen212: I used to work on a ship that frequently did Hawaii from LAX |
| 23:59.23 | aeryndunham | I was always glad I never left from SEA or SFO because it's just /more/ days at sea |
| 23:59.42 | aeryndunham | and from LAX is already a 14 day cruise, 4 days in Hawaii, and 1 day in usually Ensenada to fulfiill the Jones Act |
| 23:59.56 | aeryndunham | 8 days at sea |
