    We need to start a Honda element support group.

    My Story and Top 10 Places in North America

    Billings is the only place in MT I've really explored, but I don't think there was much to distinguish that area. Of course that's my experience, care to share where and why you think it belongs up there?

    Ah yes, real estate exclusively under bridges.

    That third one she took and is watermarked and copyrighted so don't go using it unless you want to get sued by a sexy, vengeful little lady.

    My Story and Top 10 Places in North America

    Haha, if that's directed at me I probably should. I tell everyone to go to NOLA when they mention travel. Here's some photos my ex girlfriend took as well as a drawing I did of my ex in a French shotgun style apartment off St. Charles:

    My Story and Top 10 Places in North America

    Ya, I'm thinking about giving Mardi gras another chance after all the feedback about it. That experience was in my first trip to NoLa and I hadn't learned to escape the French quarter yet. Totally forgot about the garden district, made a lot of good memories there, but on the other hand I have...

    "Yachting" in an airplane

    To everyone who's providing information it's really appreciated. I know it's easy to dismiss all this as youthful pipe dreams, especially since the entire flight aspect is so speculative, but I need to know if this is financially feasible and logical(ish) before I invest too much into schooling...

    "Yachting" in an airplane

    Now as far as I can find this is a kit plane which opens up a whole new batch of queries, but I'll stick to the finance for now: Since it's a kit I'd figure you wouldn't have to buy the Lycoming engines in the first place, so if those are X the total cost adjustment wouldn't be 55 grand...

    "Yachting" in an airplane

    The wait isn't because of location so much as time constraints, I'm in Florida working hurricane Matthew and so long as I'm here I'll be working 16-19 hour days 7 days a week.

    "Yachting" in an airplane

    Ya someone else actually mentioned this as well and it is exactly I first imagined when the idea of flying rather than sailing came to mind. I can't find anything regarding what these cost and it seems like there were only two built, but regardless I'm leaning towards a somewhat smaller plane...

    "Yachting" in an airplane

    Good to know, considering my world journey will largely be solo I'd rather overdue ob training anyways but I hadn't thought about the effect on insurance rates. Kinda goofy of me considering my business... I imagine it's going to be a little difficult getting experience with amphib's in AZ so I...

    My Story and Top 10 Places in North America

    Two or three years ago, maybe a bit more, but that's kinda disappointing. Anyone who bought land on West Yucatán ten years ago is a freaking millionaire now. In that case I'd offer up Isla Mujeres as a great alternative. Just North of Cancun, kinda like a cheaper Cozumel, and hopefully it...

    "Yachting" in an airplane

    This thing looks like an amazing middle ground. Online I'm finding only roughly quoted prices around 350, how much of a price difference would you expect for the turboprops? On that note, I'm hoping to have about 200-250 saved by the time I'm ready to depart with around 100-150 cash for the...

    My Story and Top 10 Places in North America

    Being from AZ it was natural to start with CA when I first broke out, in that story I alluded to at the beginning was mainly traveling the west coast south to north and back again. Later my high-school buddies went to SB for college so it was the place I returned to most in CA, though I never...

    "Yachting" in an airplane

    The more I look into this the more I'm hooked, but I really can't tell where to start. Simulators? Flight school? Books? I plan on having a friend take me up when I get back to Arizona but I won't have a whole lot of free time until early next year, but I'd like to start preparing if possible...

    My Story and Top 10 Places in North America

    Who dat? There's so much to say about that city, last time I fell in love with the west bank and every time I go I find something or somewhere great that I'd never heard or thought about. If you like NOLA I'd highly recommend Halifax, it's like Canada's version with their own spin. That being...

    Flying to Sedona - NEVER?

    Flying to Sedona - NEVER?

    Just so happens that Sedona is my hometown and I joined this forum just this morning because I'm thinking about becoming a pilot. I thought that having an airport in town might aid in that but I'm thinking maybe that's a misguided theory now. On a side note, ya the idea of a localized radial...

    My Story and Top 10 Places in North America

    Alright Rik-zo, as you may see I fancy myself a writer and my goal is to live a life worth writing about. That's why I've done all that I've said and share what I've done with any who can spare a moment. Rather than fighting fire with fire, let me share one of my oldest writings. My code: Earn...

    Struck a chord I guess, thanks for the tip. Deleted all of my comments so I'm out of it anyways.
