Travel

[nicrn77]

Over the last couple years I've caught a bit of the travel bug. Where have you all been? What's been your favorite place? Where are you going to next?

I've been to Ireland 2 times, but the 2nd time was the best. Got to see the Police in Dublin and was front row. What an experience. My friend was living there over the last year, so it was great to ride around the country with her. Love the pubs. It really is true that the Irish are the most friendly people!

This past February I went to Amsterdam solo. What a great experience. I was a bit nervous traveling alone at first, but it was well worth it! Lovely to meet all the Dutch FP fans. The best tour guides in the world!

My next trip will be this week as I travel to England for a friend's wedding. Will be my second time there although I never got to experience the country side. Looking forward to it! I'm sure Bee will be a wonderful hostess as well!

I've been all over the US, but I've only ever left the country once, and that was merely to Toronto.

Never crossed an ocean. So yeah, my journeys just haven't been that exotic.

You don't have to cross an ocean to have great travel stories!

Some of my favorite trips within the US were to Colorado and Memphis. Colorado was just beautiful! So weird for it to be super warm in the summer but the Rockies still had snow! I traveled to Memphis a couple years back when my friends were competing in the International Blues Challenge. What an amazing music experience. Beale Street is awesome. Was cool to see Graceland too!

I have traveled alot but there are so many places I would love to see: Greece, Tuscany, Peru, and China are at the top.

Not to give you a cheap pop, but when I trekked up to Boston last year, I really fell in love with the city...and the food!

I grew up in NH and have only lived in the city for about 3 years now. I grew up coming to Boston though. It is a great city that doesn't feel like a city. When I'm in NYC I feel like that's a city. I love Boston. Great music, great food, great people! You and Michelle should come visit again!!

I've been to England, France, and most of the states in the US. My family is big on travel. I LOOOVED England when I was there, depending on how my year goes I may end up studying abroad for a year or two in London...dunno yet...its my last ditch option if everything goes wrong this year...

I SERIOUSLY want to go to Scotland. Its been on my list forever now, hopefully some day I'll get there. I think sometimes part of the reason I'm an actor is that if I'm somewhat successful it will allow me to travel allot...

I know what you mean about England, Em! When I went to London a few years ago I seriously contemplated moving there! I'm excited to see the country this time around. Fingers crossed the weather cooperates!

I have travelled through Europe, Scandinavia, Africa, and Australia & New Zealand. Almost 15 years I travelled as a tour guide. My favourite country is Italy and especially Florence/Tuscany. I have lived in Florence for two years I plan to grow very very old there one day……….

[harembee]

I have been lucky enough to travel quite a lot too. I have holidayed (or watched FP gig) in Ireland, Germany, Spain, France, The Netherlands, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Latvia, The Gambia, Senegal, Malaysia and Ecuador. Have also worked on conservation projects in Costa Rica, Brazil and Borneo.

I long to visit the US, Canada and Japan to meet my FP friends.

Nicrn77, I can't believe that we were both in the front row of that Dublin Police gig and didn't meet! Will be seeing you very soon though!

Didecoy, I'd happily grow old in Tuscany too. See you there!

[michellepa]

Been to a bunch of different places in the States and to Toronto (thanks to FP ) but haven't had the opportunity to leave the North America yet.

The one place I'd love to go is England. One day I'll get there!

I've traveled through much of Europe and Australia and hope to visit India and Sri Lanka next year if all goes to plan. Can't wait to see the Himalayas and wild elephants.

I really started to travel quite a lot when FP came to my life.... so I was in
A'dam, NL (FP+Police)
London (Oct 07)
London (March 08)
Den Haag, NL (March 08)
Paris (March 08)
St. Laurent de Cuves, FR (June 08)
Terville, FR (June 08)
Strassbourg, FR (July 08)
Zurich, CH (July 08)
Palaiseau, FR ( July 08 - near Paris)
and I'm going to London again in Oct this year for Fictionaires bday party, then straight to Newcastle for few days and in Dec there's tour in France+ A'dam again...

+ I was in Paris to see RATM this Aug and then in Brussels to see Puggy (and meet girls )

Last real holidays - Aug 06 - Opatija, Croatia
(beware - it's the most expensive town in Croatia. We were just driving by car and decided to stay there. Then we found out where we are, seeing the prices in restaurants and for accomodation, but have said "F**k it! We're on holidays!" LOL!)

Since following FP to almost all European gigs I call those trips my holidays...

Where I would LOVE to travel (with or without FP gig) is def. NY
(have no idea why, but I've always loved big cities... and after hearing about LA from my friends who were there, NY became No 1 on "have to visit" list..)

Adam, if you ever decide to come to the States you must come to Boston! I live just minutes from the airport...so when you fly your private jet in I could come pick you up!
