	It's hilarious that you would actually mention that bar. My wife and her sister just went there for her birthday on Sunday before going to Fright Dome. They had a good time and really liked the place. For my wife and I, we've been trying to make plans to go to Hawaii for our fifth anniversary (next year). But things keep getting in the way, like bills She's from Hawaii but she hasn't been back in a long while. Plus I've never been there and it'd be great to go on vacation there. After we get to Hawaii (eventually), I want to take her to Puerto Rico. I lived there for almost 2 years and my step-dad is Puerto Rican. My wife is also part Puerto Rican from her Grandfather. ____________________

	I really should try to get to Puerto Rico one of these days. Haven't seen my mother since '97 and she lives there. Haven't talked to her either. We just started to text each other recently. Hey, Orlandu, maybe we should hit up PR together? ____________________

We should hit it up at some point, though I think some of the fun for me would be lessened because I don't drink

E3.

I live within driving distance of it, have all my life.

Never had the money or time.

Also, Wounded Knee, South Dakota. The last trip I had there was there for too little a time. I wanted to stay for a while and really look around.

I'd love to do either E3 or SDCC next year, hoping one of them will work out.

	Speaking of expos, I've been meaning to make it to the SEMA Show here in Las Vegas for several years now. Including this year. I just forget to register, don't have the money when I remember, and then when I do have the money it's too late ____________________

I've meant to go to Penny Arcade Expo for like the last four years. It's only about an hour away, but I've been out of state twice now during that time.

Before that, it was difficulty with money/a place to stay.

Maybe this year.

Oh there's another one I've wanted to go to, and it's a bit closer to BC than SDCC.

I'm pretty sure E3 is still industry and press only at the moment, I barely got in this year as it is and that was one hell of a stretch. Though by the loosest of definitions I did see a whole lot of Gamestop and Best Buy employees waltzing around in there, so I guess you could really push your luck

As for places I want to go, that's hard to say. I've been so fortunate as to have traveled to many different places in my lifetime. I was extremely young when I went to Europe (in fact, I barely remember any of it!) so I suppose that could be a place to revisit, but honestly...it's not really on the top of my list. Singapore, on the other hand, has. I'm not even sure why that is, but after stumbling upon some pictures of popular tourism areas from there, I was rather intrigued. I definitely want to go back to Japan too, but more from a potential business standpoint than a tourism one (I'm hoping to land an audition at a specific talent company

)

China might be neat to see too, and Australia has peaked my interest for some time as well. Honestly, I've been to so many tropical locals that as amazing as they are, I can't really think of one I'm in a huge hurry to get back to. Though Hawaii WAS amazing the last few times I went, I'm absolutely in love with Maui. I dunno. I feel like I don't even have time to worry about traveling since I have so many loose ends over here to deal with still.

There's some super expensive route if you don't have a press or industry certification. It's like $400. It was made press only once, then again, then they made a separate consumer event called E For All.

E For All was then made defunct when they decided to let people back into the E3 proper for enough cash.

I keep wanting to go to New York City. We can easily get there by train.

Question for you: If I go to school on weekdays, what would be a good time to go to New York if it were a one-day trip?

Oh man, I've been somewhere in your town that you haven't!

The place is alright, but not amazing. Drinks aren't toooo expensive and a decent selection of cabinets. Met some cool guys there who whooped my ass in Soul Calibur at the bar. (They do have consoles with TVs above the bar, which is pretty sweet.

Ooh, an arcade with classic games?

I always thought having an arcade with only older games would be nice. I'm not really into the modern kind of arcade game.

As for me, I'd like to visit San Francisco. (Hi Anna!)

I would love to go to France and Italy. Just too expensive/Takes more time than I have.

On a smaller scale I would love to go to Vegas and Miami Florida

I have been to San Destin before, but never actually went to the Miami Florida beach. On the other hand, I have been all the way down to Key West

I believe Insert Coin(s) just opened up this year.
