Hey, you're picking on me! But yes, I tend to travel with a corkscrew.........

I love cooking and entertaining. I enjoy travel for pleasure but all the travel for business tends to take away from that. I would like to get back into photography with the new digital SLR's as I was still using 35mm film.

I am an avid reader and have passed that along to my daughters. I am enjoying decorating my home (again....)and watch too much HGTV.

I am learning about wine by attending a weekly wine tasting at my local liquor store. Then I pair it with food and invite my friends over to be my lab rats. So far no one has become ill..........

I like wine but I like the frozen drinks better. I'd have to travel with a blender! LOL You know that Garth Brooks song about Two Pina Colada's one for each hand? Yeah that sounds good. That's about all it would take too, to cause unconsciousness....

Whatever happened to the good old days when I could 'drink someone under the table' as they used to say???

I got tired of 'paying' for it the next three days....

I travel in the 'flip the top" set. No need for a corkscrew! I think that planning something for all three days of a weekend would be great for the out of town group. I am glad we are having a reunion. I really enjoy the discussions on here. Keep it going.

I am not far behind, kids are 28, 26 and 22. One Grandson age 11 months and second one due Jan 2010. Grandkids are way more fun. You spoil them and then send them back to their parents.

I have done alot of traveling with 24 years in the Air Force. Basically been around the world. Lived in Europe and Southwest Asia for 10 years. I still love Italy the best but Germany is a close second. Best Ski resort is Zermatt, Switzerland - no cars aloowed within 15 miles. Electric train into town and then golf carts in town. You ski on the Matterhorn mountain. You buy a two country ski pass. Have breakfast in Switzerland and then ski in Italy after lunch. Dinner in Italy and then ski back to Zermatt.

Best place I liver was Hahn, Germany. Located 20kms south of Koblenz (which is where the Rhine and Mousel rivers meet. We could roll down hill to both rivers and do all the wine festivals in every small village along both rivers. We use to take the kids for a long Saturday trip - We would drive to Luxembourg and have breakfast at Patton's cafe, vist Gen Patton's grave, then have lunch in Belgium and visit the Battle of the Bulge museum, and then have dinner somewhere in eastern France and still have time to get home for bedtime in Germany.
