I have no doubt I'd probably never want to leave.  I have an intense fear of flying for that long over water, though.  I'll make it someday, but I'll need medication to do it.  

You could take the titanic

I was stupid enough to have a cleansing period when I moved a long time ago... there went my record collection... but I am rebuilding...  

I got pretty ruthless with the clutter in my old bedroom at the 'rents house. I found several shirts in my closet that were a size "Large". I haven't worn that size since the 10th Grade.

I've been on an airplane several times. It means no more to me than riding in a car. Actually, it's better than a car, because most cars don't have toilets or folding tables.

I'll fly, but I don't like it much...

Well it's not the same as riding in a car to someone with motion sickness and claustrophobia.  I've flown lots of times and have a system down to make it bearable.  The flight to Europe has the added element of being over water, so I have an irrational fear of flying there because of that.  I can do it with anti-anxiety meds though.

It's not that long for me, since I'm on the east coast.  More like 5 or 6 hours.  

[Albert1434]

Well I am so sorry to hear that Val 

[Albert1434]

We flew from San Francisco

The worst one for me was my trip to the Philippines years ago.  I’m sure I’ve mentioned this somewhere before.  Going, I had to fly Dallas to Seattle, than from Seattle to Taiwan.  The trip across the Pacific took 22 hours.  I was in the air for an entire day, but it was like one really long night.  I’d left Friday night and landed Sunday morning.  It was night for the entire flight.  What happened to Saturday? International Dateline.

It was the added distance from flying much further north in Seattle to much further south in Taipei, Taiwan.  When I came back I went through LA and it was 12 hours.

 Definitely.  I worked at an equestrian center for a bit where I lived in an apartment above the barn.  We had a massive ice storm overnight and everything was coated in about an inch of ice.  Well, that meant the parking lot was one giant skating rink. And I had to walk across it to get to the lower barn and take care of the lesson horses.  There was absolutely no way anyone could walk across it safely.  So I 'skied' down it.  lol  I crouched down like I was on skis, and slid down the parking lot to the fence bordering the paddock near the lesson barn.  I stayed on my feet the whole time, then was able to crunch my way through the icy snow to the barn.  One of my apartment mates watched the entire spectacle and said he was laughing his ass off the entire time watching me.  He said it made his day.  Too bad it was before cell phone videos.   

Haha, I’ve done that so much! I’m terrified at walking downhill when it’s slippery. Uphill is fine cause it feels like gravity works in my favour. But downhill there’s a lot of crouching and sliding, lol

I'd love to visit upside down land sometime.  First, I'd like to visit Europe.  I'm a horrible flier though, so I'm not sure how I'd do going to Europe, let alone Australia.  I'd need some pretty heavy sedation to get through it.   

Well, if you ever make it over here and wanna come to Norway, let me know! I’d love to hang out.  I could show you Oslo!

Oh if I ever made it to Norway, I'd definitely let you know.  I'd have to stop by Sweden, too to visit  @Slytherin

If you've come this far, stop by France too, its just around the corner we'll go manhunting 

[Albert1434]

Well maybe we can get Val to make it if she went the polar route in the dead of winter
