My 3 favs: 3 days Beijing. Hiked the Great Wall. 2 days STN drank good beer and watched the Duxford airshow. 5 days Subic.... good laundry service, drank a lot at the scuba shack and kept the captain out of trouble . Still doesn't come close to SYD or Normandy!!!!

5 days in Stanstead followed by a 1st class deadhead back home while on IOE. Gained 20 lbs from all the beer and fish and chips.

5 day SYD layover. Went to the The Snowy Mountains for 3 days of lodging and skiing with a 24 year old hardbody surfer girl I had met in The Rocks the trip before. As Guido the Killer Pimp so aptly said to Joel.."Time of your life Kid!"

I met her in the Rocks too. In SYD you don't lose your girlfriend, you just lose your turn...

Pretty sure this girl only went out with me and stayed home when I wasn't in town. Just like those girls in SFS!! LOL
