There is a US missile base in Guam so it wouldnt really surprise me to think that some things may be blocked off.

>>1088039
If the place you're talking about is north of Guam, it's probably one of the Marianas islands. If it's south of Guam and right off the coast, it's Cocos Island (it's a small day resort). In either case, nothing special or unusual. BTW, your coordinates point to empty ocean north of Hawaii, nowhere near Guam. And your image is useless.

>There is a US missile base in Guam

If you mean a base where missiles are launched, no. Nope. Mo missile bases in Guam, US or otherwise.

according to google earth the water's 32000 feet deep at those coordinates. might wanna double check them.

If you're sweating 12 bucks you really shouldn't be traveling

No its cheaper. The 12 bucks is mostly for the act of taking the photo. Copies are less.

Also, what the fuck? You could just as easily CALLED a CVS and they would have answered this question.

Why don't people just take their photo at the post office or wherever you get your passport processed?

I tell them I had a great time, maybe show them a SFW picture and the conversation then turns to something else.

There is a tourist-tier (but still interesting) all-you-can-eat Mexican restaurant in town called Casa Bonita. They have Mariachi bands, an arcade, and an indoor cliff and dive pool that divers jump in from the top of the cliff.

There is one notable amusement park in town called Elitch Gardens, but it's "meh" compared to other parks of its size throughout the country. There is also a smaller, but more historical amusement park called Lakeside Park, which has the oldest roller coaster in the state.

Also, Denver was a huge railroad hub dating back to the days when the Transcontinental Railroad was still being built, and still is today. The Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado very close to Denver has a pretty cool selection of trains on display and runs some of them on a circle of track on weekends.

>>1088018
Thank you. I had no idea that south park restaurant was real. I guess I have to give it a try. I will look into the railroad too.

Thanks

I would recommend the Denver Zoo or the Natural History Museum.There is also an Art museum, but it can be hit or miss depending on what is on display at the time.

It doesnt take that long to get a passport. Best thing to do is call the cruise line and ask about the requirements for your specific cruise.

>>1087875
Not sure what you are asking. if you are asking whether you can travel with a driver's license and birth certificate but no passport/card, I don't think anybody will let you cross their boarder with that -- though an enhanced dl will get you into Canada, last I looked, so conceivably might work elsewhere. Check requirements of any countries where you will make port. and just get a passport, it is not hard and can be expedited if time is pressing.

If you are asking if your birth certificate looks real, I have no opinion.

>>1087875
>U.S. citizens on closed-loop cruises (cruises that begin and end at the same port in the U.S.) will be able to enter or depart the country with proof of citizenship, such as a government-issued birth certificate and laminated government issued picture ID, denoting photo, name and date of birth.

As long as your cruise doesn't port you should be fine.

China, because I think it would be a fun experience, and their uni campuses are insane. The government has invested so much money in the schools there.

>>1087804
Harvard, because the degree pays dividends.

>>1088099
I'd also just try to get to the most recognized university available to you.

East Europe.
Nice people, great culture, the Bicycle pathes are way better than in USA. Also the best nature in Europe is located in the east.

>>1087801
Thanks for the tip!
Can you tell me something more specific? Do you have suggestions about some possible tracks?
The Europe is big and I don't know where to start to draw my trip.

I would Start in Rostock (ger) and drive straight near the Coast to szczecin (pl)
It's a nice Trip with a lot of nature..

bump because I wanted to know the same thing
I feel like the sort of person that wouldn't be able to find my way out of the airport but I completely intend to do it anyways

I've seen this story posted from time to time.

>>1088053
Yeah that's really encouraging...

Austin is pretty good, but don't tell anyone. It's a big secret.

I've heard Iowa and Wisconsin's pretty nice. Anyone been/lived there?

what do you like to do for fun? what are your marketable skills?

Just go to Mexico the pharmacists speak English and accept USD
And you can find a pharmacy within the first block away from the border, buy up to a three month supply of what you need (as long as it's not a controlled substance), and walk back across

That and honestly the cartels run the show in the first few blocks of every border city so it's unequivocally safe for tourists

>>1087656
so what you're saying is i shouldn't even bother with the online method? I'm just double checking because it's always a huge pain in the ass to cross the border plus i live 143 miles north of it so...I CAN go there but is it possible to avoid and just do the online route? Will I get ripped off?

>>1087658
No idea I live in a border town so it's never been an issue of buying online
Just don't buy any controlled substances cuz it's a huge hassle to go back into Mexico, throw away the meds, go back through the line, and get approved to go back

Hi OP,


This really depends on the location, level, and duration of the hiking you have planned in Peru. If you're experienced trekkers and will be carrying your own equipment, you'll find the whole country is criss-crossed with a spectacular network of trails. It's believed that there's a greater length of pre-Columbian walking trails in the Andes than the entire modern national highway network, over 80,000 km (50,000 miles).

Anywhere in the highlands, you'll find it relatively easy to hire a guide who's extremely familiar with local paths and known at the communities you pass through, which is extremely useful as residents of isolated villages tend to somewhat wary of strangers. This kind of service should cost in the ballpark of $15 per day.

However, these guides are people who make a living running mules or just carrying goods to and from these remote communities. They're strong, tough men in a land of tough men, and they're used to walking long distances at high speeds with heavy loads (40kg/90lbs is non considered excessive). That just means that when agreeing a rate you need to make it very clear that you're paying by the day, not by distance run, and take their estimates for timings as very severe. Unless you're altitude acclimated and in peak physical condition, don't assume that what they call a seven-hour hike can be completed in a day.

So, make it clear that you're not in a hurry, you have a bad ankle, and you want to be able to take time out along the way rather than racing from point to point.

Meanwhile, if you're interested in more mild trekking, the only places you'll be able to hire guides and equipment are cities popular with foreign tourists: principally Cusco and Huaraz, and to a much lesser extent Arequipa and Puno.

There you'll be dealing with professional guides, with more skills but much higher prices. They'll be able to work around any physical limitations or warn you if your plans seem excessively taxing, so explain the precise 1/2

well, since you didnt care to elaborate what in particular might interest you, i assume you just want to let out your inner hedonist. for that purpose odessa has two locations: arcadia and the center; some clubs, a lot of bars and restaurants, everything you need in terms of food and entertainment.
you might want to go diving, or rent a boat and throw a nice party... theres is a chance some dolphins will want to join, so bring fish.

but, honestly, most people visit odessa for its history. there are like three dozen or so archeological, art, jewish history museums, some nice late 19, early 20 century architecture.

well, i personally visit odessa every half a year due to work and i really like to take a walk along the shore. reminds me of france. odessa has some decent wine and brandy. fortunately i get a good discount on that.

I been there many times. Arcadia is a entertainment area along the water. They have a celebration i believe on April 1st. Humor day.

>>1087607
I never been there but my dad grew up in Odessa until he was 14 and immigrated to the U.S. He says it is a shithole.

Tacos in Guadalajara or banh mi in Vietnam. Mexican street food is fantastic imo. Tortas are godly.

You should check out /out/.

Will you be doing any intense hiking? Do you plan to use your gear afterwards? Will there be food and guides provided?

Are you sleeping in tents or at a lodge?

>Bring a mosquito suit, you can wear shorts and t shirt under,looks goofy but keeps bugs off.
>Bug spray obviously
>Keep all your food tied in a bag tied high in a tree suspended out from the tree and hanging,
(black bears can climb)
>Probably already provided but if not get a water filter. Sawyer minis are good and cheap.
>It will get chilly at night so pack a sweater and long pants, during the day shorts and t shirt will be fine.
>Compass
>Good water bottle
>Dry bag to keep valuables

thats all i can think of off the top of my head,

Try the Gaylord (teeheehee) Opryland Resort. Seriously, though, it's this fancy hotel with an entirely glass-enclosed shopping and dining area.

http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/bnago-gaylord-opryland-resort-and-convention-center/

As for sites, Andrew Jackson's sprawling plantation, The Hermitage, is open to tourists. It should be interesting as long as you like history and are not an SJW airhead (he owned slaves, oh noes!).

Nashville is also known for its live music scene, so pretty much every place will have some sort of band playing.

I would find an airbnb downtown for a bachelor party, hotel is a terrible idea. It will give you a good place to crash with your buddies, get loud/drunk for pregame/after bars close, do drugs etc which you obviously won't get away with in a hotel. It's a big music place so I would check the dates you'll be there and find something that sounds good. Also might recommend driving east to the mountains during the day, some great parks to see and good for a day trip.
