If You Could Be Anywhere on the Planet RIGHT NOW, Where? and Why?

[Dances w/PURPLE]

That's the question on the table......tell us where you'd go and why.

[True Believer]

It's cooling down in Sydney now as we head towards winter, so the Cayman Islands sounds about right. Sun, sand, sea etc.

[yesyadda]

I just saw a guided travel package to Croatia and Slovenia. That's where I'd go. I'd get coordinates from a pre-WWII map and find the town where my grandmother was born in Croatia. Something I've always wanted to do.

[Paul D]

Camping in New Mexico or fishing in the Gulf Of Mexico. The desert or the sea...either one will do.

[pacman1959]

Maine.....It would be neat to visit some of the towns that Stephen King writes about.

[cinderella]

I'm not a traveler and I really have no desire to be anywhere but where I am.
I never have the desire to go anywhere warm. I suppose if I could I'd like to go to Alaska. Probably this summer when it's 100° here in hot, muggy, Virginia, I'll want move to Antarctica.

[yesiam]

Backpacking down a quiet road in Connemara, past the wild fuschia hedges and sleepy houses, with a friendly little free-spirited dog at my side for a bit, headed for Galway and a nice pint :D sigh

Now that sounds good!

Me? Somewhere where there is still a good snow cover for some warm spring skiing. I never got any in at all over the last couple of years and I'm missing it.

[Internaut]

The rocks at Arpoador beach, nestled between Copacabana and Ipanema

[JaneEyre]

the coast of southern Maine - because it feels like home

London - because it's London

the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia - because of their collection of Rembrandts

Stuttgart, Germany - because my brother is there "Officially"

back in bed - because I love my mattress and pillow

standing at The Wall in Jerusalem - because (words will never suffice)

Seattle - because the Sox are playing tonight

[umgekehrt]

Wherever JaneE is!

[JaneEyre]

Wherever JaneE is!
Oooh, GnomeyHoney!!

[highaltitude]

In my island, where a positive vibration is always high, the sky and the water is deep blue and peace can even be breath, so present is in the atmosphere.

[Sheerah]

Today is a gorgeous day and I am exactly where I want to be. I'll be working in my yard today and I just love that!

But, in a broader sense, I would love a trip to Australia/New Zealand/Tasmania.

[cactus jon]

I would like to be in Prescott, Arizona sitting on the porch of my dome home playing my guitar for the silly girl !!!!

[cinderella]

Come to think of it, it would be nice to visit Scotland and Ireland and see where most of my ancestors came from.


Or maybe under the 3rd O in the Hollywood sign.
Trevor lives around there somewhere. ;)

[steve4001]

That's not a bad call from Cindy. I'm gonna suggest the west coast of Ireland during one of their incredible Atlantic storms: The astonishing beauty and wild fury of nature doing what nature does is sooooo good at putting personal problems into the box marked "trivial"

Ooh that sounds good! I'd love to see that.

[Dances w/PURPLE]

My aunt's farm in Alabama where the night sky in the summer is black from horizon to horizon and the stars are so bright and brilliant it's scarey to this city girl. (I sleep the rest of the dead when I am there...no stress, no worries)

"Home" will forever be in my mind now as my mother sold her house last week. She is moving here to Florida.

Key West, Florida or the upper Keys near Marathon... with my baby who loves me still and holds me like we're teenage sweethearts still after 24 years.

St. Maarten, the French side, at the nude beach that has brown sandy beaches. *how liberating*

I love the islands (Carribean)

[Wild Westie]

Italy. The architecture, the music, the food, the men.

My dream destination.

Sitting somewhere in the English countryside in the rain.

[smatt]

On the beach.... any beach!

[Merewyn]

Sitting somewhere in the English countryside in the rain.

Did you remember to pack your Wellies, Jack?

[Jackaranda]

Did you remember to pack your Wellies, Jack?

Yep. Yesterday reminded me of an "English" day. Nice, cool steady rain all day. Love it.

[Jm Sin]

I would prefer to be myself, in a big house with a free studio.

[Braniff92]

Hawaii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Timmo]

Hooked into the reef at a depth of 50 feet at Blue Corner in a stiff current in Palau, surrounded by sharks, barracudas, teardrop butterflies, niger triggerfish, and maybe the odd eagle ray.

I think the "why" is obvious...

[cinderella]

Well after fighting with this *#^$#@ computer all day, I'm just glad to be here.

[DW Duke]

I knew that. This morning in the start a malicious rumour thread:

Cindy wishes she were here.

[Dances w/PURPLE]

I would prefer to be myself, in a big house with a free studio.


:cheers: I'll drink to that!

I would like to go for a long long ride on the Harley to just about any where.

[Earl Grey]

I'd like to be instantaneously transported to Havasu Falls, deep in the Grand Canyon.
I've rafted the Colorado, but I never did get to Havasupi...
You may have seen pictures of it... Photos tend to wind-up on both inspirational plaques and stash-boxes...

A series of terraced waterfalls, each emptying into the next turqouise pool like a tiered romanesque fountain... The water is magnesium-rich, which gives it that color of sky blue that you often find in the tropics, but seldom find in the canyonlands...



urlie

[True Believer]

Earl, I did a mule trek into the Grand Canyon years ago - sensational place. Would love to see more of it.

[Earl Grey]

The Grand Canyon, also called 'God's Boss Ditch' (...Called 'God's Boss Ditch' by whom? By God, oh course!).

I remember my first time, one always remembers the first time...

Standing on the edge of The South Rim, gravity-fingers pulling me closer, I stare straight down, the abyss stares back...
The abyss winks, pulls the rug of comprehension out from my feet, I'm lost in dream-like vertigo spin the senses far and past the point of wonder-capacity overload.

I can nearly hear those Anasazi-whispers, these trickster spirits are up to no good...

..Gently slip my child and thistledown so-gently now enjoin and float so soft one doesn't fall but glides beside the red-tail hawk a mile down and men can fly I swear on hot air eddies hoodoo wavefronts static stones and watch no step to fall and drift this pastel distance whisper slip whisper slip whisper sli...

I grab the handrail and shake the dangerous magic from my thoughts.

It's all TOO much!
With 360 degree vision, you still couldn't capture the sweep.

Perhaps one of them newfangled Giant Eyeball Creatures from Proxima Centauri could take it all in, if he were suspended by tether from his flying-saucer-thingamabob.
Beyond that scenario, comprehension is futile.

Describing 'The Canyon' requires a form of poetry uninvented as of yet... Perhaps a fusion of words dreams and heat-lightning would work.
I'm not sure, as it hasn't been invented yet.

The onrush of color, depth, and non-euclidian geometry dazzles the eyes and shrinks the testicles.

One can tell this place wasn't designed with humans in mind.

Sometimes the meaning of it all nearly comes into focus, only to disappear at the ghost-limb touch of the mind's farthest reach.
Try as I may, I can only grasp at handrails as my understanding finally recoils back into the comfort of sine-wave abstraction...

All one can eventually do is gather the kids at the edge of the known universe and take a digital photo for next years Xmas Card...

The ancient ones continue to whisper...
Persistent little buggers.

Sorry about the long delay in replying. This is just a fantasy. I've never been there. But, I do plan to tour Europe very soon. I'll probably go the cruise boat route to save money. Although, I prefer out-of-the-way points of interest - avoiding the tourist-trap areas.

[steve4001]

Somewhere where no one can find me, and in a place you'd never expect me to be.

"Seeing things that were not there.
On a wing on a prayer.
In this state of disrepair.
Down by the railway siding, in a secret world, we were colliding.
In all the places we were hiding from, what was it we were thinking of?"

Cindy, if I didn't know better, I'd suspect you were a romantic soul

[illusion]

London - because it's London


I've seen three people say London.

Urg. I hate London. It's the most horrid place on Earth.



Hmm....I'm going to say bed. Because its where I'm going now. Not very imaginative, am I?

[Joe]

That's the question on the table......tell us where you'd go and why.
Right here is fine!

Cindy, if I didn't know better, I'd suspect you were a romantic soul

Your suspicions would be correct! :hearts:

[Dances w/PURPLE]

Raz, home can be an awesome place to be. Me? Home would be a good thing right now I'm getting new carpeting today! (hey, and it's not storm related from flooding!!)

[Bugeyes]

Montauk Point.WAY! Do you feel the energy pull? Better then Sonoma? Did you hear about... :angel: nevermind, you probably did.


Dances! New carpeting not related to flooding? Have you thought of getting tile lately?

[Sheerah]

I think today I would choose that little New Age novelty shop over looking the ocean up by Big Sur. I can't remember what it is called but I love it there.

I believe it is called The Phoenix.
And your right, it is amazing!
I'll be sure to go there one more time before I leave Cali.

[Paul D]

Did you hear about... nevermind, you probably did.


Yea, I've heard. Don't believe it.

[squiredevotee]

Where I'll be next Friday......In the middle of the woods at 7AM, just getting out of my tent, coffee already brewing, birds singing, mottled sun shining through the trees & glittering off the lake, that green smell all around me.

Ahhhhhhh, I'm home!

[Bugeyes]

On the forest's floor, with the emerald and cerulean waters near.

[cinderella]

I want to be in a place far far away.
2806.07 miles away to be exact.

Geez, Cindy, could you please be a bit more specific? :lol:

[Jackaranda]

I'd be in the suburbs of Detroit so I could give Kelly a hug.

[cinderella]

Geez, Cindy, could you please be a bit more specific? :lol:

Okay - it's a 42 hour and 14 minute drive. Right now I'd probably get car sick though so I'm not taking any chances. ;)

Ohhhh baby ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lmao:

All the old people like it "cool." :sneaky:

[Bugeyes]

Wait...all the old and RICH people like to go on the Alaskan Cruise ships too...

I have a new agenda now. (I lie, I lie!)

I'll always hate the cold and Rick wants to retire to the Colorado Rockies. I need to buck up, dang it! I said I would stay in the Rockies as long as the car I drive has bun warmers.

[JaneEyre]

I can't believe you called me OLD.

I've done an Alaskan cruise!

I was at a party on Sunday -- and I was the youngest person there!

Gotta go find my bifocals and can now...

[Bugeyes]

:lmao: I'm so brave, and I'm OLDER than you! Almost by a decade! Holy cr@p, I actually really know what a decade feels like? :shrug: Thanks for that one! Kicking myself now....

Have you seen my cane?

[cinderella]

With my best friend.....just because.

My parents are getting older, and I miss my friends from louisiana. So let's put them all in the same place somewhere nice... with me and my dog ricky of course, that's pretty much it. :headset:

London

A small secluded island, not on any map, with warm, clear water and a nice breeze.

[Earl Grey]

I miss my desert wasteland.

I miss Sedona (land of the tourist, ...natural wonders oxidized unearthly on the way-too peopled earth).

I miss the wilderness. And all the silly tourists asking me where they can buy the perfect crystal. And the Pink Jeep Tour.

I will go there soon, it is in my heart.

Urlie

[Yes2Yes]

I saw a program on the Grand Canyon. I'd like to see it myself.

[Earl Grey]

I would give up my vacation to be with those who were hurt in London tonight.

The Grand Canyon ('God's Big Ditch') is the most amazing vista I've ever seen.

I've seen it from top to river-rafting bottom, it is reality.

And unfortunately there is the surface of the planet to deal with as well.

Thank God for both.

Be YES.

I would say London. I would like to be helping, whether giving comfort or helping restore order. I am drawn to tragedy. I want to mend the hurt. I wanted so much to go help with relief after the tsunami. I wish I had the ways and means to contribute my services in this manner. I believe the term is a philanthropist, but I believe that covers to large a segment.

[JaneEyre]

I'll go with a response I've used on this thread before:

Right now, at this very moment? Well, I'd like to be standing atop Uluru. But, seeing as how I don't have near enough money for that......there's this spectacular little rift in the Columbia Gorge, about twenty miles from where I work, called Oneonta Gorge.

You have to hike back into the rift, about 1/2 mile or so, over rocks & downed trees, walking through the creek the whole time. At the end of it, is a small bowl shaped chasm, where the creek falls from about 40 feet above your head. It's quiet, cool, and absolutely gorgeous! It's been my own personal temple, since the age of 16.

Charleston is such a beautiful town - it's where I grew up.
If you go Soul Warrior, make sure you walk on the Battery right around sunset!
Best place for breakfast is the Variety Store located at the Charleston Marina (where you can catch the boats going out to Ft. Sumter or just take a harbor cruise). The Variety Store has the best Shrimp and Grits in town!

[soulsearcher]

i would be in my living room with steve howe, having a glass of wine, and talking about what happened with this more drama tour.

[Deliriumyes]

I would be taking a ride to the Cache la Poudre Canyon. Just 'cuz! ;)

[caboosewriter]

I'd be on a historical tour of Merry ol England for sure and would visit StoneHenge and so on.

[Earl Grey]

My Zen knows that wherever I am, I'm there (maybe that's just a quote from Buckaroo Bonzaii).

I'd like to be sitting at the top of Bell Butte in Sedona AZ.

There ya go.

uRlIe

[soundchaser77]

Well i like being in the netherlands (IJsselstein nice small city/village with a real working windmill thats a bakery) but i do miss my old home of Sarasota florida and i also love to go to Sedona AZ!

[Earl Grey]

Sedona proves that God loves LSD.

:dog:

[Sheerah]

I'd be in Las Vegas watching the More Drama Tour with the LL.

[BrianD]

I'd be in Las Vegas watching the More Drama Tour with the LL.

And I would be with you Sheila - at around midnight August 7/8 would be better as we celebrate our birthdays together

[Scooty]

I'd be in Las Vegas watching the More Drama Tour with the LL.


*sigh*
whatcha' gonna' do??

[Sheerah]

And I would be with you Sheila - at around midnight August 7/8 would be better as we celebrate our birthdays together

That would be the BEST thing!

[The Whale]

I would be at home with my family working on the new house with no where to be and my wife would be pushing the kids in their swings. Sigh cant wait for the weekend

[1yesfemme]

Hey ya'll may have read my "I wish I was anywhere but here" remarks because work has stunk for quite a while now. Now is time to celebrate - WEEEEEEEE. I have a new J O B.

[The Whale]

good for you! wish I had a new job.

[1yesfemme]

Thanks, I'm very pleased. It will be a 15 minute drive maximum instead of 40. I'll have all the same benefits and retirement. Better hours. AND, God willing, a boss I can blossum under.

[tormatotork]

I would be on the Planet 'Biff' as it sounds a lot more silly than being on this one.

[JaneEyre]

bed

[The Whale]

bed? listening to what?

[JaneEyre]

bed? listening to what?
Ummmm....the sound of myself sleeping?

[Earl Grey]

Today is the first day of my vacation.

I just came back from a sushi-lunch, I'm headed-off to the California Redwoods tomorrow morning (King's Canyon and Sequoia National Park).

I'm pretty content with being exactly where I am today.

I never get to post on Yesfans on tuesdays... It's almost invariably a 12 hour workday for me.

Right now I'm full of fish and I'm posting on a tuesday afternoon... Tomorrow I walk amid the Great Trees...

I was supposed to see Squire Howe and White tonight, but I'm not going to dwell on the disappointments...

Here's to the sweetness of life, and a full-on YESTOUR in 2006!

uRlIe:yesbird:

[JaneEyre]

Right now I'm full of fish...

Ooooooooooh, Earl, that is soooooooooooo sexy!

Camping with my best friend.http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/smileytent2.gif

[Yes2Yes]

I wish my wife and I were on a cruise ship sailing for Bermuda. Pink sandy beaches and a rum concoction in my hand!!

[Wild Westie]

I wish I were with my youngest sis. It's her birthday today. I wish she would realize how much her family LOVES her.

[JaneEyre]

I'm completely knackered.

[cinderella]

I wish I were with my youngest sis. It's her birthday today. I wish she would realize how much her family LOVES her.

I'm sorry Jodi, I can imagine how much you miss her.
I'm sure she knows deep down that you and your family love her. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Cinderella528/N99%20Smileys/echappyhug.gif

Thank you sweetheart. :D

[cinderella]

I miss my sister too. She just sent me an email telling me her husband will be laid off from his job this week. I'm very worried about them.

[1yesfemme]

That's too bad. I wish that he finds what he and his family needs to feel safe and supported in this topsy-turvy world.

[Bugeyes]

Rocky Mountain National Park Timber Creek camp grounds. The elk will be start rutting next month. After three days camping, showers, swimming and showers again at Lake Grandby.

Or drinking champagne watching the morning sun rise over a lake from the tent.

I'd follow Rick, my significant other, into any woods.

[Sapphirestone]

As Peggy is wired to the moon as so to speak. I think maybe she feels alien on this planet! hehehe.

[Sapphirestone]

I think maybe Australia. Yes, I would like to visit Australia, so much to see, including relations.

[Earl Grey]

I would love to be in a great towering redwood forest right now...

I'm going to Sequoia National Park for a few days, so around 4 hours from now I'll be there!

See ya guys on sunday!

Earlie:yesbird:

[Bugeyes]

As JaneE would say, "Wait up Earl!"

Have a blast communing with nature.

[cinderella]

Far....so very far away.

[Bugeyes]

Cindy, I hope your wish comes true!

[steelyDan]

Given the tense situation the world is going through,I cannot think of many places where I want to be : War , pollution , terror threat , global manhunt operations , etcetera.... I am not really sceptical, but the only place left that I can think of , right now is ICELAND : A paradisiacal last resort with its blue lagoons and healthy unpolluted air !

[cinderella]

Cindy, I hope your wish comes true!

Oh it has and will again.

[tribute1969]

Let's see RIGHT NOW.....

It would be Sept 24 in Atlanta, GA feeling the
sonic vibrations of Porcupine Tree at The
Masquerade Club.......
or
it be Oct 29 in Nashville ,TN watching the members of the YesFans
Southeast Chapter dancing on the bar at Coyote Ugly.......
but
since it's right here, right now it would be
sitting in my Crimson Room or YES LAIR (see YF thread)
with my beautiful 4 year daughter listening on headphones :headset:
to a CSN&Y Concert from '74 while my daughter is watching
"Willy Wonka" as I catch up with YesFans and Yes Talk.....
plus
I've been off work the past two days and feel pretty good, pretty good

[True Believer]

Anywhere hot! It's frickin' freezing in Sydney today!

[Wild Westie]

Galapagos Islands. I've been wanting to go for many years.

[cinderella]

Anywhere hot! It's frickin' freezing in Sydney today!

Then I want to be in Sydney!

[steelyDan]

Cindy,
If your heart is a safe place to be, I 'd wanna be there too ! So what's the password?

[True Believer]

Then I want to be in Sydney!
No you don't Cindy, it's REALLY cold and windy today!

But would you be able to contend with minimal daylight (4-5 hours) during specific parts of the year?

I've also read that when tourists arrive during the summer months, they arrive to a bright midnight sky and when they inquire as to when it gets dark there, a typical Icelander reply is usually, "in the middle of August."

The 99.9% literacy rate and low unemployment rate would be welcome, too!

[rgfudd99]

On vacation-which is where I am going right now. Off to the beach in Rhode Island for a week with the wife and kids. No computer access. Talk to everyone when I get back.

Rob

[justyes]

So let me think. I guess it would be Ireland. Heck I don't know why. Maybe for its amazing sceneries. I could also be on the route 66 in a 1970's Cadillac driving 150 kph (I have no idea how much is that in mph guess about 100). Ah but that are dreams for now.

[slazman]

Wherever - it would need to involve a setting sun, the ocean rolling in, a fabulous meal and excellent wine right now. Oh yes - and someone to share it with.

[JaneEyre]

Sign me up! Bring your wife, too, if you want. I don't mind.

Thats me, the caped crude sader, hehehe.

[tormatotork]

Quabbin reservoir in central Mass. I was a very content young chap wandering around there. Its is an amazing place.

[Yes2Yes]

Just got a call from a friend who moved to Tampa Fl. Wish I was visiting him and his wife.

[yesfankris]

This is not exactly ON the planet but I've always dreamed of seeing the Earth from orbit so I would have to say the International Space Station is where I would like to be, with my YES collection and Sennheiser headphones. And please don't laugh, but I actually have a bank account accumualting money for a space vacation sometime in the future when it becomes techonologically and financialy feasable. Maybe in another 20 years or so.

[Merewyn]

My daughter and I went out for a late lunch and stopped in to look at apartments today in Grapevine, TX. They're in a heavily wooded area (mature oaks) - and are very nice. The price is quite reasonable (less than I'm paying now) so I may be moving when my lease is up here. We shall see...
It's nice to have alternatives in life isn't it?

[ThePatman]

... where I was last night... it was incredible! :headset:

[cinderella]

Somewhere far away where the lights are low, the candles are burning, soft music is playing and I am dancing with my Prince. Ahhhhhhh! That's so nice.

Um.....what was the question?

[DaveJB]

Nags Head, the Outer Banks! It was sunny, warm, the ocean was wonderful, I was with my family & good friends! Life was very, very good!

But, on the other hand, this is good too!

[ThePatman]

In Louisiana with my family... looking for friends, and helping out... I am not comfortable financially enough to run to them... it's on my mind.

[DaveJB]

Good luck to your family and friends! They're in our prayers. I hope they're alright Patman. You're a good person for wanting to be there!

[JaneEyre]

It's been an emotional rollercoaster today. I'd like to be in bed.

[Timmo]

Sitting on a liveaboard dive boat in Palau.

Or PNG (Papua New Guinea).

Or the Coral Sea (Australia).

Or the Red Sea.

[Sheerah]

I'd be living in Atlanta by now.

[cinderella]

Considering everything that's happening right now, I'd say I'm lucky just to be where I am. Patrick, I hope you're family can get through this.

[son-jester]

Tomaszow, Maz. Poland. Spent the summer there teaching English and made a lot of good friends. It's not much to look at but, the low stress & enjoy life at a slower pace attitude sounds real good right now.

[Sheerah]

I guess, ideally, I would like to be on the Gulf Coast right now, helping out the good folks of Noah's Wish.
http://www.noahswish.org/

[Jackaranda]

I wish I could just disappear into some deserted woods or a cave for about a month or so. Just get enough food and water and a walkman and go. I've had enough for a while.

[Malcolm Birkett]

I wish I was where I intended to be! The Beacon Hotel next door to the Beacon Theatre then the Westside Brewing Co. with all the US yesfans and then to the show!

[Sheerah]

Boy, I hear you Macolm. It's so very sad how this has all played out.

[smatt]

I would be in New Orleans, on a private boat, out trying to rescue as many people as possible.

[muff]

I would be in New Orleans, on a private boat, out trying to rescue as many people as possible.

Ditto

[Jackaranda]

Well yeah, I wish I were down there also.

It's all so depressing, there's that temptation to just want to go and hide. But.....life's about helping each other, right?

Yep. I wish I were there, just to do something, anything. Those poor people.

[Albino Camel]

I'd say, a private beach in Hawaii. PRIVATE. Nobody else.... With a guitar, a junky old red Toyota, a CD player with my favorite mix Yes CD, and a clean, small, and simple beach shack that had everything inside it that I would need for a month. Of course, time would be standing stll for the time I was there (yes, things still move), so I would have no worries. Oyeah, and an old, big dog. Now reasons for these things:

I like Hawaii

I'm a hermit. I don't like people. Talking to people who have brains is ok, but I really don't like people. I avoid them.

I have OCD and I like things very clean.

I play the guitar a little, but don't really have time to get past my 5 chords. So I would teach myself there. Just figure it out.

I have bad anxiety issues (I know, I'm such a special person), so I would have time stand still so I didn't have to feel like I was falling behind on any work.

I like old junky (but clean) cars.

I like big dogs, and old dogs.

I love Yes! :rightG:

PS. Ok so this is where I would want to be, but also what I would want to have with me.

[Merewyn]

With my parents in their apt. in assisted living watching reruns of "Macgyver." I miss them.

[caboosewriter]

I'd like to be anywhere, because anywhere is better than nowhere at all, I'm working on moving away from my home province. I can no longer stand living in this godforsaken cowtown, since I'm left feeling uninspired, need new scenery, things to do, as a matter of fact most people here listen to country and go to bars, there isn't that much to do here. If I'm rabbling on it's because I'm still between the stages of half asleep and awake. Typing seems to wake me up. I've only stayed because of my very old parents........mother...she's76, and dad....81.
What I do know is that Winnipeg is behind the times by about 10 years. They go and build an arena and we don't even have a hockey team anymore. The music scene here is vastly disappointing, all the great artists always bypass us. Perhaps this complaining belongs to a different thread?
Vancouver is where I want my final destination to be, I like the idea of living by the ocean and hardly seeing any more snow.

[squiredevotee]

I'd like to be at a Yes/Syn/More Drama/anything as long as it's some YESMEN tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crybby:

Sorry, I'm still bummed!

[True Believer]

I'd like to be in the UK already - without having to do that 24 hour flight!

[cinderella]

I'd like to pop in and visit Trevor Rabin.

But then there's that little restraining order thingy so......... ;)

[Wild Westie]

At this very moment I would love to be in the mountains. Walking around and breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the beauty of a heavy snowfall. Having a goofy snowball fight. Making snow angels. A nice cozy cabin for retreat. A warm glowing fire.

[yesrolfer]

I second that thought. Asheville NC would be nice!

Riding wee seahorses with the fairy king.

But if I were there and was asked if I could be anywhere on the planet, then I would say at home in front of the computer saying hi to you.

Has anyone seen or heard anything about a note posted about 2 years ago by YES that they were planning to tour with the surviving members of the Grateful Dead? Any updates on live discs to be available immediatly after a Yes concert? Those seem to have just faded away.....

[Sheerah]

There was talk of a joint tour at one point, but it never came to fruition.

Welcome to the site, Ratdog!
Always good to have another Dead Head around here!

Tierra del Fuego for southern spring and the botany, birds and fungi there; there must be terrestrial orchids poking up.
Oh, and 'Siberian Khatru' playing throughout the skies in perfect Mellotronic surround.

-yoursisnocross-eyeddisgrace- Which version of which 'America'?

Lady w/a fan>Solid time of chang-total mass-Iget up I get down>terripin Transit-Terripin station>Seasons of Man. That would be a killer first hour and with an orchrestra you could throw some magnification in the first set, it would make for a swingin' Shakedown st.
