this might be my last chance to see the world.
Last week I spent some time with Ivo Majetik and Andrew Tipton. Ivo is a programmer from Czechoslovakia. He has seen 45 of our great states, lives now outside of Denver, grew up in Prague and went to Italy for university.
Andrew grew up in Knoxville and hasn't really had opportunity to travel much, but in two weeks he's renting a car, packing a single backpack and driving to Seattle, then down to LA where he's catching a flight to New Zealand. He'll be in NZ for 1 year on a wokring holiday visa. He taking not much more than his eternal optimism that he'll find a tech job.
Herb's leaving next week for backpack/rail tour of all things Scandanavian.
All I can say is "Damn!" I've seen a few places on business trips. I've vacationed in Florida and Hawaii. That's about it. So I need some decent vacation tips. Russia? Germany? Antartica? I'm getting old ( Did you know that NZ restricts working visa's to folk 18-30? Why the cut off at 30? ). I'm liable to start a family at any minute, after which travel will be a non-starter for several years, so this might be my last chance to see the world.

Hey I know Andrew! He's a really good friend of mine. I still want to knock him senseless for leaving for NZ for a year. I think it's awesome that he's going, but I'm still worried about him, as all friends should be. Alright, I just wanted to comment because you mentioned Andrew.
