Thank you all so much for the suggestions, finally breaking down and going to go get my passport. At least it's before I'm 40 :roll:

I'd like to visit Europe and see the places my gramps served in the European Theather during WWII.

maybe can add on a little side trip to see relatives in Warsaw (mom's family) and Krakow, Poland (dad's family)

Gramp's family in Edinburgh has expressed that their door is open and I can stay as long as I like, it'd be easier to see more of Europe if I move there.

Cannot say I'm not tempted there is something about a man who knows how to wear a kilt :!: Never know may meet someone special to share in my adventures along the way. Woooo hoooo Jenny

Austria b/c on Manswers last night they said that 80% of the women like to give oral sex. USA was only 24%, but that was nationwide and not just on college campuses.

Ranger panthersix,
I don't know that USA % looks quite low, I don't know....... I'm just saying that is all.

Ok during few minutes of internet research I came across a forum that has a thread that started on my birthday of all days; from the looks of it is referring to the same Manswers episode.

"I was watching "Manswers" a few days ago, and they quoted a study (That I can't seem to find online.) which claimed America is one of hardest countries to get oral s*x from a woman. Only 17% of women here actually report enjoying doing this for their man. (Hong Kong is only 24%.)

BTW... Austria has the highest percentage of women who report to enjoy performing oral s*x. 81%! (Any Austrian women in my area reading this?)"

Here's an answer from one of the responders

"I'm half Austrian! LOL
Here's how it works for me... great guy, stable happy relationship, completely capable of giving and recieving, last but not least, great looking/nice tasting g*n*t*l area...I absolutely love giving oral s*x!"

Merry Christmas the name of the site this was on is plentyoffish.com. Jenny

Geez, did I butcher those stats or what? At least I remembered it was Austria that had the rep! :D

In all seriousness, I'd recommend that you go to Budapest, Hungary. I was there on a 6 day pass and stayed in Buda (overlooks the rest of the city and used to be a fortress/castle). It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

I got my picture taken with Rutger Hauer right outside the Hilton (our hotel on Buda), he's one of my favorite "B" movie stars!

It was an amazing city and I wish my wife was there with me, but I was with one of my buddies from home. We shared a room so that neither of us would be tempted to partake of "ordering a pizza". That's how you got a beautiful hooker up to your room. One of the guys on my team ordered up two pizzas at the same time, boy was I tempted!

When the bus stopped at the hotel, a guy and a few hookers from "Captain Jacks" got on the bus and a whole combat engineer company went with them. At least I got to see the pix of their fun on the bus ride back to Bosnia!

I'm not a beach guy, I get bored as hell after about 4 hours. I'd take a flight into Paris with no American label clothes or gear with long hair and a shaggy beard. Then I'd get "euro'd" with French eyeglasses, clothes, hair cut, luggage and then get me a eurorail pass and ride the train to the great euro capitals.

No one would know I was an American until they heard me say in my North Carolina accent "I need a room, food, attorney and ammo" "NOW Asshole"!

When my new clothes get dirty, I'll have them laundered and then shipped back to the states.

Just my fantasy having been in Amsterdam and Budapest. I'd like to see the rest of northern Europe and maybe northern Italy in a stress free manner and get a new wardrobe at the same time. I went to central and southern Italy on my honeymoon, it sucked for many, many reasons. Therefore I don't recommend any portion of Southern Europe!

I still want to see Austria the most though :D

Yeah in training we went to all the british and american cemetery grounds and the landing sites, and theres a stark difference in the standard of maintenance between them. the brits really should put more effort into keeping those grounds respected.
Ive seen Saving private Ryan and i didnt think i would be all that moved when i saw the endless white crosses in the American cemetery, but it will actually bring tears to your eyes and is instantly humbling. It really is an incredible visit and made me infinitely grateful.
Not far away is St. Mere Eglise which is a fascinating place as well, but the little shops that sell all the WWII memorabilia is definately the highlight..even tho it was stupid expensive when i went.

Hi all,
Ok so I've been encouraged by an individual to apply for vacant audit positions in their agency. If I pass their application process my placement would most likely to be at one of their offices overseas versus Washington DC.

I'm excited but nervous at the same time since other then Canada I have not stepped foot outside of the continential US.

Any suggestions of resources for me to research about how to prepare for the possiblity of working overseas? Thanks in advance for any help.
