LOL I did a bit of googling too, I didn't think Hawaii was the most isolated chain of islands in the world? Random. Hope you're having fun! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, January 14, 2011 6:40:47 PM)

I had never been and had no idea that they were supposedly the most isolated island chain on the planet. It was in the guide book and I still had to confirm it with a google myself. Who'd a thunk it? Found it confirmed a bunch of places online, though. Aloha!

Strat, Easter Island is just that, one island.

Flora was what every traveling parent would pray for on both the flight there and the flight back. Slept the whole way mostly, only woke up one time on the way there and as soon as she had her bottle, she went right back to sleep. She was such a good baby that people actually congratualted us on how good she was the whole plane trip. I don't usually give Olympic much credit but for this I will. They had these little baby basinettes that locked into the wall of the partician in front of our seats, and I put her in her little crib and she went right off to sleep.
I don't blame you for sleeping at the airport, had I been alone I would have done the same as I would have been sound asleep on the floor long before the time we reached our hotel. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Thursday, January 13, 2011 1:25:51 AM)

As someone who went to Disneyland (Disney World's in Florida) a few times, here are a few tips:
1). Go on your birthday. Apparently admission is free on your birthday. Otherwise it's ridiculously expensive. Be prepared to pay alot for souvenirs, food, etc. as is the case with any amusement park.
2). The fireworks show at night is pretty impressive.
3). Space Mountain is the best ride, IMO. Next best would have to be Indiana Jones, followed by Matterhorn.
4). For kids, well...just about anything is rideable. Mickey Mouse pancakes for breakfast is a big plus. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by acolyte55 from Thursday, January 13, 2011 12:03:34 AM)

Besides there are places in the U.S. you can get teeth pulled for 25.00. Pulling teeth is cheep, it's saving them that is expensive. Root canal. Insurance will pay, but not until you cough up the 400.00 or more yourself to pay for it, and then wait a month or three to be reimbursed.
Do you know that Barbers ages ago used to practice teeth extraction? and blood letting. The striped pole outside a barber shop has a somewhat macabe past. The pole used to be stained with blood from blood letting practices. HA, my father would have been perfect back in those days since he is a R.N. and a certified Barbor. He chose to stick to barboring because it paid better in his established practice.

I wouldn't know, but I have a friend who foolishly had her entire top tier of teeth pulled just because she broke one tooth. She already had her bottom teeth done about 10 years ago. Now, she has pretty shiny fake teeth, and I can't think they could be as comfortable as a few teeth not perfect, but still your own.
Oh, and by the way, she's 5 years younger than me.

Here's the Reichstag, the parliamentary building. Visitors could visit the dome and walk around. As you can see below, there's a really long line to get in.
...it was worth it, though.
Here's the Berliner Dom, the city's main cathedral. It's HUGE up close!! So pretty, too.
I swear, that tower was not Photoshopped into this pic, nor in the one above. One can see it from anywhere in the city, even from the plane as it lands.

The first time I went it was to celebrate Rob's birthday right after it struck midnight. There was no one there except for the owner. He was wearing a "JP United" tour shirt and a JP Cross pendant that said Halford on it. He was such a sweet-natured guy. I asked for a "Nightwish" (a White Russian...damn good!) and left shortly before closing time. The second time I went was on a Friday, several hours before leaving Berlin for the US. There was more people this time, and men had to pay an entrance fee. When I went in, one of the bartenders thought I was a guy and asked that I go back and pay four Euros. Another bartender told him the exception for women. He looked at me again, saw that I was, indeed, female, and he promptly apologized. This time I got hot chocolate (couldn't get any alcohol thanks to the cold I picked up the day before). There was another room (a "wing", if you will) that served as a discoteque of sorts, and this time it was open. The DJ played all kinds of Heavy Metal music and you could either "dance" to it or sit at the tables and simply listen. At one side there's a stage where bands can play...and back at the bar behind the statue there is a lounging area with leather seats. Oh! And mixed drinks are given band names. There's a Halford one, although no Judas Priest one. Sucks.
So...like I said...GO THERE!

Another bartender told him the exception for women. He looked at me again, saw that I was, indeed, female, and he promptly apologized. This time I got hot chocolate (couldn't get any alcohol thanks to the cold I picked up the day before). There was another room (a "wing", if you will) that served as a discoteque of sorts, and this time it was open. The DJ played all kinds of Heavy Metal music and you could either "dance" to it or sit at the tables and simply listen. At one side there's a stage where bands can play...and back at the bar behind the statue there is a lounging area with leather seats. Oh! And mixed drinks are given band names. There's a Halford one, although no Judas Priest one. Sucks.
So...like I said...GO THERE!

Your pictures are outstanding. I would love to visit there. A very cultural and historical place to see.
I quit drinking but I would gladly have a beer in that cafe. That place is too cool.

That's like the Mecca of Priest fandom!! How cool! Glad you had a great time Vail!
...and here's a pic with flash so you can all see the giant JP cross adorning one corner of the bar. Is it cool or what?!?

Holy crap, Vail! Very nice shots! Always wanted to visit that café myself.
HOLY CRAP!! I've got to get there now! Now that's my kind of cafe. HELL YEAH! He even has a huge JP cross with guitars on it. I'm so glad that someone loves this band as much as we all do here and dedicated a cafe to them!

The cafe itself was great! It's small and intimate.There were posters, flags, etc. posted on the walls. There were also backstage pass lanyards, LPs, guitars signed by JP members...in a nutshell, it's one large collection of JP gear. Videos (music or concert videos) are displayed on a screen behind the bar . If you go to Berlin, you gotta go visit. The OWNER looks like Rob Halford!! Great place to be.

I really enjoy seeing places I will likely never visit in my lifetime! So kind of you all to share with us!
