... true dat.
I love our limited horizons and the safety of knowing where you are at any given point.
But I'd love to experience so much s p a c e.

S'funny. I'm currently wondering where to go that isn't Europe for a road-trip experience ... If you don't persuade Sundae maybe you'll get the booby prize (=wooden spoon, before you guys get all excited!!) and Mr Limey and I'll come to visit instead ...

Yeah, we're both England's rejects, aren't we? Youse guys talk funnier, though. And get your drunk on better. I've been out with Aussies.

Other reasons to come to America:

Cheesesteaks
Hoagies
Pizza.

Yes, pizza is Italian, but it underlines something Americans excel at ... taking another culture's cuisine and making it uniquely our own. And Better. That's the American Way.

Because America is determined not to come until you do.

Oh yeah, if I ever come to America, I'm going to Philly and one of you lot is taking me out for a cheesesteak. A good one. The best one ever.

(then I'm stealing the recipe and introducing them to Australia)

It's the bread Ali.

That would be most awesome. For a real road-trip experience you need to get your kicks on Route 66.

One of the best road-trips ever...

The TransCanada Hwy from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Calgary, Alberta, then
- Highway 93 from Calgary north to Jasper, then
- Highway 16 (Yellow Head Hwy) from Japsper to Mt Robson and Tete Jaune, then
- Highway 5 all the way back to the TransCanada and Vancouver, BC

It's only 3,245 km :rolleyes:
But you will have driven only half way across Canada,
so you should plan to do the eastern half next year.

Don't buy your coffee at Starbuck's, and you won't that over roasted crap. American coffee is the best in the world. And I have had coffee in European countries.

Luckily, I am not allowed to drink coffee anymore, so I can't enter this debate.
Because from the opinions I've heard IRL it is divisive to the point of being cliched.

I want to go to a real Glee Club show.
And one of Monster's swim-meets (did I say it right?)
And for brined turkey - forgive me if I skip the candied yams, can you just roast some for me instead?
And hunting. Really. With a Dwellar that eats what they catch, not a chinless wonder who chses the inedible on a horse.

As I said, the Starbucks type chains were the same as over here, and he went to restaurants and cafes and diners etc and couldn't find a cup he'd call good compared to what we have here.

Maybe it's just what you're used to calling coffee. ;)

What's the alcohol content of coffee in the US? If you're used to 8 to 10%, American coffee might seem a bit weak.

Honey, I've been outside the US and I know for a fact we don't have the best of anything when it comes to food or bevvies. Better than England, I'd wager, but I know we suck. The only times in my life when I've experienced "culture shock" were when I returned to the US.

The coffee is tolerable if you really apply yourself.

As soon as I get my life in order I'm going to come out there and ahve you show me around. I've only been to Mogollon/ Gila cliff dwellings.

:blush:
