Or 64 hours in Laredo low-crawling back and forth to the bathroom to keep from getting hit by the stray bullets! Ahh, the Boeing days before we changed hotels...

From: I was acquired, Not Hired
Beirut, Lebanon right after the war--flying in there with an airplane that had an "N" number on the tail. First time I had a gun pointed at me.
Oh, working at UPS is just so much worse...NOT !

What's the consensus on the best Sydney nightlife locations between:
The Rocks
Darling Harbour
Kings Cross
Oxford St/Darlinghurst
Most Americans seem to mention Kings Cross. I guess this is a somewhat seedy red light district. However, when I'm in Sydney, the locals say don't waste your time if you're over 23.
To be honest, for nightlife I have never wandered past Darling Harbour and the Rocks because I always have a blast in those areas, and never felt the need to go elsewhere.
Oxford St is the gay area, but all the locals say it is a good time as all kinds of people go up there, and there are tons of bars.
So what do other crews suggest?

Darling Harbour
Kings Cross

By the way, for those who like to party in Sydney should go on ANZAC day (April 25). It is their memorial day. They all get up real early for memorial services. Then the drinking starts (still early in the AM) and goes all day and all night. I have never seen anything like it.

Frankfurt, Germany
Seven day layover in Frankfurt, a mini vacation. We did a Rhine river castle tour that included a stop at a winery. Golf at the military course in Wiesbaden. Way to many beers at some of the Sachsenhausen pubs and restaurants. Tried to stay away from climbing the stairs. Frankfort is a fun city....the Germans do love their beer!!
