Been to: ------------ Cyprus (too young to rmember) Gran Canaria Thailand (4 months) Margerita Island (off coast of Venezuela) Venezuela (Obviously!!;-)..(But I did walk around where the beginning to Arachnophobia & Jurassic Park were filmed - even swam in the lake where Sam Neill first sees the Dino`s) Canada (Toronto to be precise)
Honeymoon:
L.A. Vegas (one night) Mexico City (horrible place) Cancun, Mexico (Nice - but very westernised and not at all Mexican)
Marbella (won a week in a hotel 2 mins from Puerto Banus - nice to see how the other 1% of us live like!) Menorca Egypt (wife sprung it on me recently)
I`m interested to hear your replies - I also realise that this will seem like showing off to some of you - but I promise that it isn`t - I am truly interested....

I can`t imagine what Thailand is like now - I spent most of my time on Samui (about a month and a half to be precise!) in 1995 - I started work somewhere a little while ago and this bloke had just come back from Thailand and he said that Samui was like Ibiza!!
I don`t know how true this is but he had also stayed there years back for about 6 months and said that Thailand is now "f*cked" to use his exact phrase!!! Shame.

Swansea area, South Wales.
France, Germany, (Oberamergau) Switzerland, (Passing thru) Italy, Austria, USA (Florida) Greece (Twice, Tolon in South, Thessalonika in North) Scotland, England (Well, they are foreign to us Taffs!) Strangely enough, never been to Ireland though.
Most interesting excursion (for me) was to stand in front of Frederick Delius` house in Grez-Sur-Loing in France, where me missus took me picture, and walk by the river where he composed his most famous pieces of music................yes, yes, I know it`s sad!!..............Roger.
