I am blessed. Work has been steady. The Z is running strong. Recently picked up a 1998 M3 sedan 5spd - it just needs a few things to be ready for daily driver duty

You?

You?

That’s awesome! Those old M3s are sharp handling cars. Love em. Congratulations! Are you going to build it up or just tinker a bit and just have fun on the back roads?

Me? Working like a sled dog since the lockdown. It’s crazy. But otherwise pretty good. Had back surgery two months ago. Seems to be healing up well. But we’ll see what the doc says when I go back for my 9 week follow up and X-ray. Photography stuff has taken on a whole different life than I ever though it would have. Trying to run the business right now is a bit of a nightmare. But I’m keeping it afloat.

Anyway. Back to the madness. I’ll check back in soon. Take care

Belated birthday present to myself. Was originally looking for the Clase Azul Mezcal Durango and this bottle of the Mezcal Guerrero fell into my lap. It is pretty incredible.

So I'm set to be married soon and I've been looking to plan out potential spots to go vacationing together once it's done. My wedding planner at L&L suggests Orlando or Hawaii, but I thought I'd go around asking for any other recommendations wherever I can, so here I am. Since this thread is called the finer things in life, I'm looking for the best of the best places to visit that wont rip a hole through my pocket

What's your honeymoon recommendation, everyone?

JARblue · 08-29-2022, 09:37 PM

Avoid Florida lol

Depending on your budget, I'd go for Europe. The exchange rate is wonderful at the moment. Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Germany, Spain.

Europe does sound nice this time of year!

Check on air fares. Hawaii not cheap.

Scratch Europe. The Ukraine war is playing hell with everything. Travel is a mess because of gas shortages in some areas.

Rusty, I'm not sure what you guys are being fed with, but you sound silly.

Europe has 46 other countries beside Ukraine. War with Russia sucks, absolutely....does it affect the rest of Europe? Only in prices though.

Take a map, take a look where Ukraine is and listen - you can travel anywhere you want, as long as we're not talking Russia/Ukraine. All other countries are fine. There are no gas shortages, the price is high, that's it.

The news yesterday showed gas lines in Germany. Couple of travel agents said to hold off on traveling to Europe for now.

In many countries in Europe, gas prices are regulated to change only once per week. Gas lines often happen one day before this change should take place, especially if the announced price is a lot higher than current price. I'm guessing this is what was shown.
Other than that, I can confirm there are no shortages anywhere. Not with gas, not with anything else, although we are now constantly bombarded with news announcing "cold winter" due to Russia closing in their gas pipelines. We'll see what happens.
