I am sorry I do not claim to be a writer.
But I have found the only way to get better is to keep working at it.
My main purpose for this trip was first my yearly vacation alone this give me time to think about life in general and the road offered to me to continue on and way to make my life easier. So any trip of mine right now is a learning experience.
The main points I was look at was:
* Can I Work in a hotel in some what comfort?
* Can I get a decent WYFY connection?
* Can I go get a smoke/ drink with out losing my equipment?
* Can I find my way around town?
I noticed that I must be spoiling myself with comfort at home I could not get comfortable to work on the computer in my room bad chair @ desk. I need a back rest and a lot of American coffee and a puffy-puffy from time to time! My room was a non-smoker.
I remember last year on my first trip of get lost trying to find greenhouse Effect I was lost for four-hours my legs & Back were killing me! And I had to call it a night. So I got the bright idea GPS the only trouble to this plan was did the GPS get a signal in town. I can see now I need to find someway to increase my reception of the signal I got zero bars.SoIf any one that is in town please take your GPS with you and see if you able to get a signal.
I will say I had a great time there, and loved meeting every one @4/20 celebrations I sorry I missed the boat trip, but I was hearing that it was canceled due to lack of boat; but then I hear every on had a good time on the boat. But I was worn out from walk around that morning and I had to go & rest up a bit. but I will say I got some Gafa (I pick it up over at Utopia) it was great for body pain.
Lemming & his vapor bags reminded me of what we did in Vietnam with a one man tent fill it with smoke and put the newbie in it.and leave him in for an hour or two. When you come out you are so stoned you can hardly walk.
I remember once getting stoned in Okinawa, Japan @ a small special forces camp down the road from my camp. We got got stoned as hell and they toke me up in a chopper and pushed me out over the china sea to qualify me for air born thank god they had me on a rip cord to pull my shoot out. & I had to punch out of the shoot about 20 feet above the water. Did not have fun swimming in my boots.come the last day there I was able to get around putty good I was getting from Voyagers to Utopia in about 30 minutes between walking over to the #17 stop in front of the Centraal Station ride to the second stop and walk back about two blocks. #25 is good for Dam square I meet some great people while I was there
.
I Finally got up with DRA on the 23rd with his swiss friend. on 4/20 I made it to Breakfast at Barney's Uptown @09:00 got a little lost but I found the shop and I made it to Utopia at noon. Could not keep up for the webcam @14:00 so I brock a way and went straight to Voyager to let them catch up to me then we wonder over to de Kuil (420Cafe) the place was pack to the gills. Then we all met over @ t’Nes for a beer or two and couple more puff- puffs. And that is were I ran out of energy, so back to the hotel and later Voyagers once more for the night.I met some many people they blended together. I wish I was much better with names but they pop out of my head as quickly as I hear them. I think it is part of old age!and I am starting to be an old fart.
And having fun at it!
I am in the process of posting my photos I will add a comment once I get them all posted here.
