Vacation / Travel

[RDU VOL#14]

Junkano Beach & Queens Staircase are some cool things to do there. Junkano Beach is legendary. easy walk from the port. You have to walk past the marketplace. Tons of souviners. You will be harassed as you walk by, as people want to shop at their shop. Queens Staircase is neat, you can also visit Fort Finncastle which is nearby.

Thanks for the recommendations Smash, we’ll check it out.

On a more somber note, found out that a husband killed his wife last night and tried to throw her overboard and she landed 2 stories below on the boat we’re going on. Sick bastard.

Living in Cusco now, already building the ranks. I love telling taxi drivers Alabama is the worst state in the union here.

Lol..I have always wanted to visit Peru. Well actually there a lot of places in SA I want to visit.

I'd love to live in Cusco. I think if I'm in Peru though I'd be in Lima.

Peru is absolutely amazing. The food is literally the best in the world.

Ah Lima, the city with 30% of the population and 70% of the money. If you do move to Peru let me know. I recently had a bad experience shipping our possessions into the country, but now I have contacts that could make yours pleasant.

Big fan of John Watling’s distillery as well.

I might take you up on that in the next year or so.

I want us to get virtually debt free before we move. My wife could get a job easy, being a Peruvian with a nice network there, but I'm worried about myself.

I wouldn't go that far, the national dish, peppers, onions and beef is okay but not world best. Now, they do know how to cook some fish in the low country. I've never been in the mountainous regions so I'm sure what their food is like.

 

[volmanbill]

I actually found a parking spot.

 

[Biopsyman]

I heard Peru is dangerous.. True or BS?

Solely a Pat's guy or will you cross the street and have Geno's also?

Nicest people you'll ever meet.

Not true.

So are places in every country.

May have to be worried about petty theft and corruption a bit more, but less on everything else

You need to come experience the country more adequately

Lomo saltado.

And that's not really the national dish. I'd give that more to ceviche but there is so much diversity that it's impossible to name one.

Both were "ok". Plan a Tony Luke's at the Linc tomorrow.

Jim's Steaks on South Street is fantastic.

Would you rather take your vacation or be paid for unused?

Take.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Would you rather take your vacation or be paid for unused?

Definitely take a vacation.

 

[Biopsyman]

So true.. I work with a guy who cashes in 3 weeks each instead of taking.. Says he is too busy to take time off..time off all the way

Technically I don't get vacation day and I'm never truly off, I've worked from the beach to a mountain top.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Would you rather take your vacation or be paid for unused?

I wish I could get paid for unused. I max out at 200 hours of PTO and the majority of the year I have 200 hours. I need to take more time off.
